Their tug-of-war match is a little 21 from ours. They have eight men for each team, 22 we may have the match between two sides with equal men or women players. Of course, they are usually tall, strong and heavy. For a tug-of-war match, we need a long thick 23 .Each team stands at one end of the rope, 24 it. Then they try to pull the 25 of the rope（绳子）. The team which succeeds in 26 the center of the rope away through a certain distance is the winner. Many foreign sports experts think we dont have to be tall, heavy and strong to play tug-of-war.

Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草).The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly(苍蝇) touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesnt have all these important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Lets hope that some of the bigger plants dont get the same idea!( ) 41. The Venus flytrap is a kind of .
