           Patricia asked for the cheapest car available at Acme Car Rental. She needed a car for 48
    hours. Because it was the weekend,there was only one car available at the moment-an SUV.
    Patricia was an environmentalist. SUVs,which are big cars consuming a lot of gasoline,offended
    her greatly.
           But she needed something to get to Baker,a town that was 100 miles from the small airport.
    So she went, RentMe instead. "I need a car for 48 hours," she said," and I don't want an SUV.
    I want something cheap. "They told her they had just the vehicle for her,a 1998Toyota. Thirty
    dollars a day,including insurance and other incidental fees. All she had to do was to pay forher
    own gasoline. Patricia was very pleased. Thirty dollars a day was a good rate even for a weekday.
    She signed all the paperwork,and they gave her the keys.
            The Toyota was a 4-speed,4-cylinder,2-door beauty,the paint,tires,and the interior were like
    the new. It was comfortable, even though the air-conditioner was not the frostiest(结霜的) . She
    got in and drove north. It was a two-lane road all the way to Baker,with only one town between
    the airport and Baker. That town was Noms,40 miles from Baker.
            Patricia didn't make it to Norris. The car refused to run 30 minutes after she had been driving
    it. Fortunately,her cell phone was able to connect back to the RentMe desk. "My car stopped
    running. and I'm out here in the middle of nowhere in the hot sun! " she said.
           "That doesn't make any sense," said the clerk."You did put gas in the car before you left town,
    didn't you? "
            "No. Of course not ! "  yelled Patricia. " Why would Iput gas in the car before I even got out
    of town?" "Well,why do you think you got such a good
    rate-we save money by having the customer gas up instead of us having to put gas in the car. "
           "I was in a hurry,"said Patricia.
           "Well,sometimes you pay a price for being in a hurry," said the clerk. " We'II send a man out
    with some spare gas for you:if you'd like. ,,"
           Of course l'd like , " said Patria.ia. " How long willit be?"
           The clerk told her it would be within the hour. He didn't tell her that there would be a  $ 50
    service charge for delivering the gas,or that the 3 gallons of fuel would cost her $ 7 a gallon. She
    would get that bad news when she retumed the car to the airport.
    1. Why didn't Patricia want to rent an SUV?     
    A. Because it was a big car that would need a lot of gasoline.
    B. Because she failed to carry enough money with her.
    C. Because she was not used to driving suc, h a big car.

    Some plants get so hungry they eat flies, and even small frogs. What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact, they're found on every continent except Antarctica.
    You've probably seen a Venus' flytrap -- a small plant, which grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container. At the end of its stalks (茎) are leaves that act like traps (陷阱). Inside each trap is a lining of tiny hairs. When an insect lands on them, the traps suddenly shut. Over the course of a week or so, the plant feeds on its catch.
    The Venus' flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants, says Barry Meyers-Rice, the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society's Newsletter. He states although you might have read some science-fiction stories, no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.
    Barry says a plant is meat-eating, only if it does all four of the following: "attract, kill, digest, and absorb" some form of insects. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants -- well, most of the time.
    All green plants make sugar to produce food. What makes meat-eating plants different is their special leaves, which need insects for one reason: nitrogen (氮). Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain any other way. Why?
    Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil. Meat-eating plants can't. They live in places where nutrients are hard to get from the soil because of its acidity. So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact, nutrient-rich soft is poisonous to meat-eating plants. Never fertilize (施肥) them! But don't worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but they'll grow very slowly.
    【小题1】According to the passage, a Venus' flytrap ______.

    A．is a small plant which grows in a container
    B．is a kind of plant which gets hungry easily
    C．can trap and feed on some form of insects
    D．can only grow 6-8 inches tall
    【小题2】From the passage, we can infer that ______.
    A．meat-eating plants are found nowhere else except Antarctica
    B．all green plants get nitrogen from the soil
    C．meat-eating plants endanger humans in science-fiction stories
    D．the nutrient-poor soil is beneficial to meat-eating plants
    【小题3】Meat-eating plants grow very slowly, ______.
    A．so you'd better fertilize them
    B．probably because the supply of nitrogen is cut off
    C．simply because they can't absorb nitrogen from the soil
    D．and then they will die slowly
    【小题4】Which of the following is true?
    A．Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants.
    B．It's hard to get nutrients in the soil when acidity is high.
    C．The Venus' flytrap eats flies to get nutrient from them.
    D．Green plants make sugar at night.
