A well-known poem by Tang dynasty poet Du Mu tells of a sad scene in early April："Rains fall heavily as Qingming comes，and passers-bywith lowered spirits go．"
This scene takes place on Tomb Sweeping Day，also known as Qingming Festival．Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival．It began in the Zhou dynasty，over 2，500 years ago．Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors(祖先)．This year，it falls on April 4．Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in the Chinese mainland in 2008．People have one day off for that day．
On this day，families bring flowers，food and wine to the grave sites(墓地)of their ancestors．They place cakes，fruits in front of the graves and some may burn joss paper，as money for the dead．After that，they sweep the tombs and cherish(怀念)the memories of their dead family members．
Tomb Sweeping Day gives us a chance to show respect to our ancestors and family members who have passed away and show that we miss them．This tradition shows that family values are an important part of Chinese culture．
Tomb Sweeping Day is also the beginning of the time for gardening and outdoor activities in China．Families often get together for outings or fly kites at this time．

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. (A) They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If an insect touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The insect cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the insect until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the insect with a special liquid （液体）. Slowly, the plant eats the insect.
(B) Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most of them get energy from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all the important things that plants need, especially nitrogen （氮）. Animal 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!__ Can plants get energy from the air?
__Why is Venus flytrap a famous plant?
__In some places, why do some plants get energy from animal meat?
__写出（A）处划线单词they所指代的名词。

Many people go to school for education. School education is very important and useful ,but no one can learn everything from school. A teacher ,no matter how much he knows ,cannot teach his student everything .His work is to show his students how to learn .He teaches them how to read and how to think . So much more is to be learned outside school by students themselves.
It’s always more important to know how to learn by oneself than to learn some facts or formulas （公式）by heart. It’s quite easy to learn some facts in history or a formula in maths, but it’s very difficult to use them. Edison and Einstein didn’t get everything from school, but they were all successful. They invented so many things. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study .They read many books outside school .They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. The most important thing is that they know how to use their brains（大脑）。__Students can’t learn everything in school because _____________.
