　　Easter Sunday, which falls on April 4th this year, dates back nearly 2,000 years．It is celebrated by hundreds of millions of people around the world．For my family, it is considered the greatest holiday of the year．

　　Every Easter my brothers and I would wake up early and, like Christmas morning, run downstairs to see what surprises were waiting for us．We were always excited when the Easter Bunny(兔子), who is like Father Christmas, came and left us a basket of candy．It’s wonderful．It is like there is a miracle every Easter morning．

　　Our mother, however, would not let us eat the chocolates like we wanted．The chocolate bunnies, and candy eggs would have to wait．Instead, we would have to get dressed in our new clothes．

　　Then my family would go to church．After church we would go to an elder family members’ house for a feast(盛會)．My mother’s family came to the US from Eastern Europe, so we would often eat many traditional dishes．My favorite was ham and a special potato salad．We usually had 20 or more family members at the dinner．

　　After dinner my cousins, brothers and I would go outside．While we were sleeping the night before, our parents had hidden plastic eggs throughout the back yard．We would always have a contest to see who could find the most eggs．The winner would get a prize．It was our annual Easter Egg Hunt．Sometimes, in summer, we would discover an egg we missed on Easter．

　　Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry．

　　In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children．In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents．Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby．But when industry became more important than agriculture(農(nóng)業(yè))in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary．And large families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families can．Therefore, at present people tend(易于)to have smaller families．

　　In the future, because of industrialization(工業(yè)化), a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller．The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman．A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work．At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job．

　　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(捕蠅草)．

　　The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant．It grows in dry parts of the United States．Its leaves are like the pages of a book．They can open and close very quickly．Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs．If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly．The fly cannot get 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．
