If an American is satisfied with you，he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle.That means OK.But in Brazil，the very sign is considered to be rude.In Poland，a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess.The number must be an odd（奇數(shù)）one.Besides，the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers.And usually，the red rose is a sign of love.

When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表現(xiàn))，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．
For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all can be，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．Probably he isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．
If you look at children，you’ll see the great differences between what we call “bright” children and “non-bright” children．They are actually two different kinds of people，not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence．For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life, and he tries to get in touch with everything around him; while the unintelligent(不聰明的) child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general．
【小題1】According to this passage，intelligence is the ability to_________．

A．get some high scores on some tests
B．do well in school
C．deal with life
D．have a lot of book knowledge
【小題2】In a new situation，an intelligent person________．
A．knows more about what might happen to him
B．is sure of the result he will get
C．cares more about himself
D．keeps his mind on what to do about the situation
【小題3】If an intelligent person failed，he would_______．
A．try not to feel ashamed
B．learn from his mistakes
C．try to find all he could
D．make sure what result he would get
【小題4】Bright children and non-bright children________．
A．a(chǎn)re two different types of children
B．a(chǎn)re different mainly in their degree of cleverness
C．have differences only in their way of thinking
D．have different knowledge about the world

Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it.
For example, if an American boy asks his mother what’s for dinner tomorrow, she may say “I’ll play it by ear”, that means she doesn’t have plans for dinner and she will decide later. "Play by ear" used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they’re not talking about music.
There’re many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, "Give me a hand", you don’t necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It’s not about the color of your hand! You’re a green hand when you are very new at your work and don’t have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.
Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?
【小題1】What is an idiom ?
【小題2】What does “ Can you give me a hand “ mean ?
【小題3】Are English idioms more common in written English or spoken English ?

Can plants eat people? 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. (A) They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If an insect touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The insect cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the insect until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the insect with a special liquid （液體）. Slowly, the plant eats the insect.

(B) Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most of them get energy from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all the important things that plants need, especially nitrogen （氮）. Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea!

1.__ Can plants get energy from the air?

2.__Why is Venus flytrap a famous plant?

3.__In some places, why do some plants get energy from animal meat?

4.__ 寫出（A）處劃線單詞they所指代的名詞。

5.__將（B）處劃線句子改為兩個簡單句。

Plants are living things.   ______________________________
