B The aim(目的)of students who come to school is to study.But to study requires(需要) a right way,or you waste either the time or the money.The following are the ways of studying. The best time for reading is morning,because in the morning,the air is fresh and the mind is clear.For that reason,we can get good result. In studying we must have patience(耐心).If we have not known a text well,we must read it again.We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one. When we are studying,we must put our hearts into the book,or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading. We must always ask“whys”.If it is not well understood,write it down and ask our teachers or our parents,or friends.In any possible way,we must know it completely and what we’ve learned can be used well and made better. Though there are many ways for studying,yet the above mentioned(提到的)will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so. 41.The passage tells us _________.

Some places on the earth don’t get much rain.But they still don’t become desert.This is because some green plants are growing there.Small green plants and grass are very helpful to dry places.Plants don’t let the hot sun make the earth even drier.Plants don't let the wind blow the earth away.When a little bit of rain falls,the plants hold the water.Without the plants,the land can become a desert much more easily. 46.Why can the land become a desert?

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(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 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 doesn’t have all these important things, especially nitrogen(氮).Animals’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! 51.The Venus flytrap is a kind of ___________.
