Can you name some foods in the meat group? Can you tell where they come from?
Your body is made up of millions of cells. Cells are very small.
Your body has to make new cells in order to grow. It also has to make new cells to take the place of the old cells that have been worn out.
To grow, the cells need a thing called protein. The protein you need most comes from foods in the meat group.
Fruit and vegetables are plant foods. Foods in this group give your body vitamins and minerals. Your body needs vitamins and minerals to grow and to stay well.
The third food group is made up of bread. These foods come from grain. Your body gets heat and energy from these foods. It needs a lot of energy to work and play.
Milk is one of the best foods your body can get. It has protein, vitamins and minerals. Milk is good between meals or with meals.
Some foods are not listed in the four main groups. This is because you do not have to think about eating these foods. You eat them if you eat foods from the four main foods.

A hungry fly speeds through a forest. It smells nectar and lands on a green leaf. Many plants produce nectar, a liquid that insects feed on. The fly starts to drink the sweet liquid. Suddenly, the fly’s world turns green. The two sides of the leaf close against each other. Long green teeth lock together around it. The fly has been caught by a Venus flytrap. There is no chance to run away.
The Venus flytrap is perhaps the most famous killer plant, a kind of meat-eating plant. It grows in very few places, such as wetlands near the coast of North Carolina in America. The Venus flytrap is not a large plant. It grows to be only about a foot tall. The plant has white flowers in the spring, but it is the plant’s leaves that make it so interesting. The ends of the leaves have folding parts with stiff, tiny hairs. These are the plant’s “traps”. What does the Venus flytrap eat? It doesn’t only eat flies. As you might guess, the Venus flytrap also eats spiders, ants, and crickets. The Venus flytrap makes most of its food with sun, air, and water, just like other plants. Living things just give it more nutrition to grow well in wetlands.
How does this plant trap and eat living things? The Venus flytrap uses-a sweet liquid-nectar, to attract its food. When a fly lands on one of the plant’s open traps, hairs on the surface make the trap closed. As soon as the trap closes, the fly is dinner! However, scientists have only recently started to understand how it hunts and eats. After years of study, plant scientist Alexander Volkov believes he now knows the Venus flytrap’s mystery. “This,” says Volkov, “is an electrical plant.”
There are three small hairs along each of the Venus flytrap’s two leaves. When an insect touches a hair, it creates an electrical signal in the leaf. The insect can keep feeding-for now. But if it touches another hair within 20 seconds, the trap shuts immediately. This system allows the plant to tell the difference between a drop of water, for example, and a moving creature.
Once trapped, an insect has little chance of survival. Instead of nectar, the Venus fly trap now releases a different liquid-one that slowly eats away at the insect. Ten days later, hardly anything is left. The plant’s leaves open again, and the Venus flytrap is ready for its next meal.

【推荐2】It’s just another day for Li’s family who are always on the road. The family from Beijing traveled 90,000 kilometers by RV (房车), across 32 countries. The Lis’ recreational vehicle (RV) has a living room with a sofa, a kitchen and a bathroom and two beds.
The RV travel lifestyle becomes more and more popular among Chinese travelers, as it gives them much freedom (自由).
“Because of the pandemic (疫情), we can’t go anywhere. Recreational vehicles give us the freedom to go anywhere,” said Fan Lina, an RV traveler. “We don’t need to worry about booking hotels or getting up late. It gives us a lot of freedom and saves a lot of money.”
Last year, there were 27 million internet searches (网络搜索) for RV travel on Chinese websites, 48% more than in 2019. The sales of RV hit another record, almost 70,000 units last year.
China now has about 1,400 large RV campsites (营地). Most RV owners are aged between 50 and 65, according to a study. But the last two years saw more interest from 40- to 50-year-olds.
The price of an RV is usually from 150,000 to 750,000 yuan, with the most popular ones somewhere in the middle at about 500,000 yuan.
Hong Zhiwei, marketing director (营销总监) at Sunshine Glamping Park in Beijing, said the park hosted 3,000-5,000 people during China’s National Day holiday. “The RV industry will be very big market (市场) in the future, with RV being a family’s second car.”

【推荐3】①Do you know podcasts (播客)? Have you ever paid for educational podcasts or live videos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. “Pay-for-knowledge” has been a fashionable thing these years. Everything you think of can be found online, skills of talking, designing, computer programming and so on.
②Why is “Pay-for-knowledge” industry (产业) developing so quickly? First, its development is based on (基于) the Internet. With a fast network and a smart phone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account (账户) can buy “Pay-for-knowledge” products that he or she wants at a good price. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. They hope for more useful information which is usually at the hands of experts. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in today’s job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts.
③The industry of “Pay-for-knowledge” has proved to be a great way of making money. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What’s more, this is a reflection (反映) of people’s respect for knowledge and talents.
④However, “Pay-for-knowledge” also causes a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to be a good CEO?” which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. That means, with or without these products, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.
⑤In general, the best is the one that suits you most. “Pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good start for self-growth. But be careful when you make a choice, or your dream of success may not come true.
