People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow ”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers” and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”.

Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus Flytrap. 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 touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly can not 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!8. The Venus flytrap grows in .

He began to think of the place where his sons classroom might be. He rushed there and started digging through the ruins(废墟). As he was digging, other parents tried to pull him off, saying, “Its too late! They are all dead! You cant help! Go home! There is nothing you can do!” But he only replied, “Are you going to help me now?” And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The policemen also tried to pull him off and asked him to go home. But he only replied, “Are you going to help me now?” But everyone was sure it was over. No one helped. He went on alone to see if his son was still alive, 8 hours 12 hours 36 hours then, in 38th hour, he pulled back a big stone and heard his sons voice.

You have promised no matter what happens, you will always be there for me! You did it, Dad!” “ Come out, boy!” “ No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know youll get me!
