阅读理解     If you travel to a new exhibit at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, you will have chances
to see some meateating plants. Take bladderworts (狸藻类植物), a kind of such plant, for example.
They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. "But these are the fastestknown killers of the plant
kingdom, able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door! "
     Once the trap door closes on the victim, the enzymes (酶) similar to those in the human stomach
slowly digest the insect. When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.
     Meateating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn"t offer much food value. In such
conditions, these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs over thousands
of years. North America has more such plants than any other continents.
     Generally speaking, the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants,
which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers (a container like a bottle) full of nectar
(花蜜).
     The Asian pitcher plant, for example, has bright colors and an attractive halfclosed lid. Curious insects
are tempted to come close and take a sip, and then slide down the slippery (光滑的) slope to their
deaths.
     Hairlike growths along the pitcher walls ensure that nothing can escape, and the digestive enzymes
can get to work. A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours, but a fly takes a couple of days.
Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold two gallons. Meateating plants only eat people in science
fiction movies, but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn"t a good
place to get a drink.1. From the first paragraph, we learn that bladderworts can________.A. kill an insect in a second
B. capture an insect in 1/50 of a second
C. be found floating on a quiet lake
D. digest a fly in a few hours2. If the trap door of a meateating plant is closed, the plant is________.A. fooling insects into taking a sip
B. producing nectar
C. tempting insects to come close
D. enjoying a dinner3. Meateating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they________.A. can get nutrition from animals
B. don"t need much food value
C. can make the most of such conditions
D. have developed digestive enzymes4. What can be captured by meateating plants for food?A. A child.  
B. A dog.
C. A little bird.  
D. A little fish.

Dear Reader,
     Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation.
     Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website.We have a small number of paid
staff, just twentythree.Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose.Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars.Wikipedia is run by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation, which I founded in
2003.
     Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers-all devoted to sharing
knowledge freely.Over almost eight years, these volunteers  have  contributed  more  than 11 million articles in 265 languages.More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information,
free of charge and free of advertising.
     But Wikipedia is more than a website.We share a common cause:Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.That"s our commitment.
     Your donation helps us in several ways.Most importantly, you will help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet.Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia-making it easier to search, easier to read, and easier to write for.We are
committed to increasing the free knowledge movement worldwide, by taking on new volunteers, and
building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.
     Wikipedia is different.It"s the largest encyclopedia (百科全书)  in history, written by volunteers.Like
a national park or a school, we don"t believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia.We want to
keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of people like you.
                                                                                                                                       Thank you,
                                                                                                                                       Jimmy Wales

     The breathless pace of everyday life made many people sleepless, said our reporter Wang Ling,
when talking about the World Sleep Day (WSD)with sleep experts in order to find out how to get a
better sleep.
     Cui Shuliang, founder of 51sleep.com, which provides online advice for those yearning for a sound
sleep, found many of his workmates suffering badly from poor sleep quality, as an IT technician in
earlier times. "Each morning, I would hear complaints from someone that kept waking up during the
night, or someone else who had to spend all night fighting for sleep."
     Pressed by busy city life, more and more people are suffering from sleep problems ranging from
insomnia to narcolepsy (嗜眠症). Some people may be able to fall asleep, but spend the whole time in
fear. A survey conducted by the Sleep Research Society (SRS) shows that about 40% of the population
is troubled by sleep disorders, which can result in lowered awareness and less productive days. Serious
insomnia can even lead to psychiatric problems.
     Professor Zhang Xi, director of the organization, says the focus of this year"s World Sleep Day will
be on scientific ways to sleep. Professor Zhang Xi explained that the causes of sleep disorders differ
among cases, but more than 80% of his patients had trouble in sleeping because they always have a
nervous worried feeling that makes it impossible for them to relax. "That"s why we keep suggesting
people pay more attention to sleep problems, since there remains a hidden danger in the physical and
mental condition. On the other hand, people with sleep problems should learn how to ease their mind
and relax themselves. Staying mentally and physically healthy, plus having healthy habits, is the best
way to realize a sound sleep."
1. What do we know about Cui Shuliang according to the text?
A. He founded a website with the help of his friends.
B. He is experienced in using information technology.
C. He was suffering from serious sleep problems.
D. He often complained about being sleepy.

A. Most people cannot have a good sleep.
B. Most sleep problems are caused by fear.
C. Sleep disorders can lead to serious results.
D. The SRS is an organization of 51sleep.com.
3. According to Professor Zhang Xi,we know that ________.
A. the WSD"s focus is on the importance of sleep this year
B. people have paid enough attention to sleep problems
C. keeping in good health is necessary for a good sleep
D. different sleep problems have the same cause
4. Most of Professor Zhang Xi"s patients have difficulty in sleeping because of ________.
