It was on April 10th, 1912, the Titanic sailed for New York. She was carrying more than 2,200 people.
At that time, she was the biggest and finest of all the ships, for she had sixteen compartments（密封仓）. When four of them were broken she would still be able to stay on the water.
Four days later, while the Titanic was sailing across the sea, the watcher suddenly saw a very large iceberg, 100 feet tall. After a few minutes there was a sudden sound from below. The noise was so low that no one knew what happened. But soon it was clear that the Titanic was sinking(沉没). The captain sent a SOS to any ships near them, but the nearest one was too far away to help in time. The Titanic was going down fast.
The captain gave the order to give up(放弃) the ship and hundreds of people jumped out into the water. At last over 1,500 people lost their lives because there were not enough lifeboats.

Can plant 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(捕蝇草).
The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of the 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 leaf closes very quickly. Then the fly can’t go out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses 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 the important things, 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.
根据短文内容判断。
1. The Venus flytrap grows in wet parts of the United States.
2. The Venus flytrap is a kind of plant.
3. The underlined word “presses” probably means（挤、压） in Chinese.
4. In the world, many animals eat plants but plants never eat animals.
5. From the passage, we know that not only animals eat plants, but also some plants eat animals.
