A

My three-year- old granddaughter

fell from

her bike onto the road before I

could catch her.

Emily lay there for a moment,

guessing her

chances of survival. Finding the

chances were in

her

favor,

she

sat

up

with

a

smile

that quickly

turned

into

tears

when

she

saw

the

blood on her

knee.

I

took

her

in

my

arms,

saying

words of

comfort

as

I

carried

her

into

the

house to mend

her hurt.

With

much

comfort,

she

let

me

wash

and

put

ointment

on

her

knee.

I

kissed

her cheek.

“

All better now, sweetie

？”

“

No, Grandma. you must say the

Mommy

words.

she said. I quickly ran

a list of Mommy

words through my mind: Please?

Thank you? I

says

Mommy

You

I

remembered.

My mind raced

my to I had said the same little

song that

to mother and her children, my

mother to me,

her.

My

grandmother

had

died

when

my mother

was

eight.

There

had

been

nothing

left but her

dear memories. When she became a

mother

herself,

she

passed

on

the

gentle

love of her

mother

and

the

“

Mommy

words

”

that

made all

bad things go away and only the

good remain.

Hearing it now, I realized that

though I had

never met my grandmother. I did

know her. We

were

mothers

—

we

were

connected

at the heart.

I heard my grandmother's, my

mother's,

my

daughter's,

my

granddaughter's,

and my

own voice mixing through time.

you

have

a

test

on

Friday

—

the

same

day

as

your

history test

and

weekly

quiz

on

Spanish

verbs.

How will you

get all your studying done?

Studying for tests and quizzes

actually

starts

before

you

even

know

you'll

have a test.

Good

study

techniques

begin

in

the

classroom as

you take notes. Note-taking is a

way of

remembering what you were taught

or what

you've

read

about.

Even

if

you

are

an amazingly

organized and neat note-taker,

copying and

organizing notes after class

helps you absorb

And

material.

the

understand

and

studying

easier

and

faster

at

test

time.

As you study, review your notes

and any

special information from your

textbook. In the

case

of

math

or

science

problems,

do some

practice. Pay special attention

to anything the

teacher

seemed

to

stress

in

class.

Many

teachers

tell

students

ahead

of time

what the format (

格式

) of an exam

will be. This

can help you study. For example,

if the exam

will contain essay questions,

you'll want to think

about

which

topics

are

most

likely

to be covered.

Then

come

up

with

several

possible

essay topics

and use your notes, books and

other reference

sources to figure out how you

might answer

questions on those topics.

When trying to memorize dates,

names, or

other factual information, keep

in mind that it

usually

takes

a

number

of

tries

to

remember

something correctly. Read things

over several

or

thoughts

that

will

If

you

travel

to

a

new

exhibit

at

the San

Francisco Greenhouse of Flowers,

you will have

a chance to see some meat-eating

plants. Take

bladderworts,

a

kind

of

such

plant,

for example.

They appear so small and grow in

a quiet pool.

But these are the fastest-known

killers of the

plant kingdom, able to catch a

small insect in

1/50 of a second using a trap (

陷

阱

) door!

Once the trap door closes on the

animal

falling

into

it,

the

enzymes

(

酶

)

similar to those

in

the

human

stomach

slowly

digest

the insect.

When dinner is over, the plant

opens the trap

door

and

is

ready

for

trap

again.

Meat-eating

plants

grow

mostly

in

wet

areas

with

soil

that

doesn't

offer

much food

value. In such conditions, these

amazing plants

have

developed

insect

traps

to

get

their

nutritional (

营养

) needs over

thousands of years.

any

plants

America

North

Generally

speaking,

the

traps

have

attractive

appearance

to

fool

eye, like

may

the

pitcher plants, which get their

name because

they look like beautiful

pitchers( a container like

a bottle) full of honey.

The Asian pitcher plant, for

example, has

bright colors and an attractive

half-closed cover.

Curious insects are attracted to

come close and

take a drink, then fall down the

slippery wall to

their deaths.

Some of these pitchers are large

enough to

hold two gallons(7.5 liters).

Meat-eating plants

only

eat

people

in

science

movies,

but sometimes

a

bird

or

other

small

animals

will

discover that a

pitcher plant isn't a good place
