with fresh dinners for weeks. a woman from the church of our community stepped by each evening with some food. the gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain. later in my life, when i was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. they arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. even when

opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. it is truly a gift i want to prepare and deliver to someone in need. 【文章大意】作者的母亲过世的时候, 社区教堂中的女人给她带过食物; 作者怀孕的时候, 社区教堂中的女人也同样给她带过食物,

nutrients. new research shows that they catch and kill small insects with their own sticky hairs near the roots and then absorb nutrients through their roots when the insects are killed and fall to the ground.professor mark chase, of kew and queen mary, university of london, said, the cultivated (改良的) tomatoes and potatoes still have the hairs. tomatoes in particular are covered with these sticky hairs. they do trap small insects on a regular basis. they do kill insects.the number of these carnivorous plants is thought to have came up to 50 percent and many of them have until now been wrongly regarded as among the most harmless plants. among them are species of petunia (矮牵牛), some special tobacco plants and cabbages, some varieties of potatoes and tomatoes, etc. researchers at royal botanical gardens kew, which carried out the study, now believe there are hundreds more killer plants than previously realized.it is thought that the technique was developed in the wild to get necessary nutrients in poor quality soil and even various plants grown in your vegetable garden still have the ability.the researchers, publishing their finding in the botanical journal of the linnean society, said, “we may be surrounded by many more murderous plants than we think.” “we are accustomed to thinking of plants as being immobile and harmless, and there is something deeply frightening about the thought of meat-eating plants,” they added.72. tomatoes and potatoes kill insects to _ .a. get more sticky hairsb. make themselves grow betterc. make their roots strongerd. avoid falling
