笑話 ( 老師 VS 學生 )

老師：「你的毛病就是用詞不當，現在考考你用一句成語來形容老師很開心」
學生：「含笑九泉」

老師：「請用『左右為難』來造句」
學生：「我考試時左右為難」
老師：「是題目不會答，讓你左右為難？」
學生：「不，是左右同學答案不一樣，讓我左右為難」

Mautu Discovery Forest

Last Monday my mother took us to Mautu Discovery Forest. There were lavish nature plants and animals. There were also some beautiful waterfalls. First, we went to "Forest Elementary School". It was surrounded by lots of greenish trees. In the elementary school, there were twelve wooden tables and twelve wooden chairs. I pretended that I was a teacher and my students were my mom and my brother! We could listen to birds singing and breezes blowing. Being a teacher in "Forest Elementary School" was quite fun!

After we visited "Forest Elementary School", we went climbing the mountains. I saw many special and colorful plants. Then, I heard a sound- a sound from waterfalls! I ran toward the sound, and I saw a beautiful waterfalls. It’s called "Rainbow Waterfall". It’s clear water, shinning like crystals. We went on climbing the mountain. Next, we visited two old trees- "Poplar Grandma" and "Poplar Grandpa". "Poplar Grandpa" was three hundred years old; "Poplar Grandma" was even older, she was five hundred years old!

After we left "Poplar Grandma" and "Poplar Grandpa", we took a walk at "Bamboo Wood Path". The bamboo woods were tall and thin with long, greenish leaves. A soft breeze blew over them. They moved left and right. I thought bamboo woods were a quality suggestive of poetry or painting. Then, we went to "Ecology Mushroom Ranch". We saw many mushrooms. Some were white, some were brown, and some were gray. I liked the mushrooms. They were so cute!

At last, we went to "Tomato Ranch". Some tomatoes were red, some were yellow, some were round, some were long, and some were flat. I picked one juicy red tomato and ate it. It was so sweet! We also drank tomato juice. It was delicious, fresh and healthy. So I drank it all up.

This trip to "Mautu Discovery Forest" was really fun and interesting. I observed many rare animals and plants. I hope I can go there again and understand more about it!

The Venus Flytrap

The Venus Flytrap is the most famous of all carnivorous plants. The plant mostly lives in North and South Carolina along the coastal plain. There are also species of carnivorous plants found in Canada, Russia, South America, Asia and Europe.

Venus Flytrap has a dormant period in the winter. A Venus Flytrap going dormant usually show in growth, and the leaves may slowly turn black and die. The plant will come back in Spring. In a Venus Flytrap it is because the bugs don't live in the winter and they don't have anything to eat.

The leaves of Venus' Flytrap open wide and on them are short, stiff hairs called trigger or sensitive hairs. When anything touches these hairs enough to bend them, the two lobes of the leaves snap shut trapping whatever is inside. The trap will shut in less than a second. The trap doesn't close all of the way at first. It is thought that it stays open for a few seconds in order to allow very small insects to escape because they wouldn't provide enough food. If the object isn't food, e.g., a stone, or a nut, the trap will reopen in about twelve hours and 'spit' it out.

My Reflection

I think Venus Flytraps are very special plants. They are not animals but they can open and close their leaves. They have remarkable ways to stay alive in the cool, terrible winter.

I really like them very much. But even though I like them , I still think they are a little disgusting because they catch insects so they must have some special structures for catching them , like mucus , stiff hair . Plus, everyone knows that eating insects is yucky!

I learn a lot about the amazing Venus Flytrap. I learn about how they catch preys, where they live, how they stay alive in the freezing winter, where they are found…. I think Venus Flytraps are really mysterious. We must find out more about them, and understand more about them!
