2．　　The story is about a young student. She worked very hard at her lessons. She worked so hard that she became ill. She couldn't go to sleep at night. So when she got up the next morning, she felt very tired.
　　So she went to see a doctor. Hearing the student's words, the doctor said, "You are too stressed out (压力). You must eat more healthy food like fruit and vegetables. Besides, you can try to count numbers when you are lying in bed. When you reach one thousand, you will be asleep (睡着). I'm sure of it."
　　The next day, the student came to see the doctor again. "Well," said the doctor, "How are you feeling today?"
　　The student still looked tired. "Yes," she said. "I tried to count one, two, three, four... up to one thousand. But when I reached five hundred and sixty, I feel sleepy (困倦的). I had to get up and drink some coffee so that I could go on counting to one thousand. But then I still couldn't be asleep.

3．　　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, they can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly (苍蝇) touches one of the hairs, the leaves will close quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaves press 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, but animal meat has a lot of these important things. 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!
