A little boy discovered what looked like a map to an unknown place. He soon realized it was the beginning of an exciting treasure hunt.

He found two pieces of paper along with the mysterious map. One was written with the instructions, “FIND THE WORDS.” The other piece of paper had several strange symbols scattered all over it.

Dad, fortunately, was there to help his son figure out the mystery. He folded up the paper with the symbols on it, and together they formed a message, which had another set of instructions, “UNDER STEPS.” The smart little boy knew exactly what to do so he went to look under the steps of his house. Without too much effort, he found a box below the staircase.

It didn’t take him long to figure out what to do next: open it up! Inside the box were some very interesting objects, including another piece of a treasure map and two broken pieces of paper. These were the most interesting finds because they contained what appeared to be a collection of letters on them. Finally, they knew where the treasure was from the letters: IN THE BUSH UNDER YOUR YARD.

After searching all over the yard, following several clues and wondering where everything would lead, the pair finally found what they had been looking for. And it was exactly what you would want after such an adventure: a treasure box!

The pair pulled it out of the ground and cleaned away all the dirt. The dad put the box in front of his son, and the little boy couldn’t contain his excitement. So he opened it up and finally found out what was inside.

Inside was more treasure than any little boy could ever want. There were hundreds of coins and all sorts of pirate treasure, including what looks like a pearl necklace and some silver dishes.

C

A blow-fly was looking for an ideal place like rotting meat to lay her eggs so that when her little babies were born, they could feed on the meat.

As she turned a corner in the grassland, she smelt something that smells like rotten meat in the air! With a great joy she landed on it and laid her eggs. She was happy that her children would have enough food to eat.

But the fly did not know she had made a great mistake. What she had sat upon was not meat but a flower, which smells badly. It is called a carrion flower. So, when the blow-fly’s eggs hatched and the little maggots（蛆）came out, they had nothing to eat. They died of starvation.

The carrion flower is one of the many flowers which send out dirty smells to attract flies. The Rafflesia stinks like rotting meat, while the tropical Lords and Ladies flower gives out a smell like rotting fish.

They do it for a special reason. These plants cannot move from their place. But it is important for the male cell of one plant to get in touch with the female cell of another plant. Once that is done, the seed of the plant will bloom and give birth to another plant.

The plant uses its stink to attract flies. As soon as the blow-fly sits on the follower, it is captured by the flower with strong hair. When the hair falls, the fly is free to fly- but it takes some pollen（花粉） with it. And goes and sits on another plant. The male cell of one plant meets the female cell of the other. The seed gets new life.

64. Why did the fly land on something smelly?

A. She was too careless before her bearing.       B. She liked the particular smell very much

C. She hoped to find some food for her babies.    D. She couldn’t find a better place for delivery.

65. The little maggots finally died because_________.

A. they were born too weak             B. they lacked food available

C. carrion flower were poisonous         D. their mother didn’t take care of them

66. Flowers like carrion flower and Rafflesia naturally smell terrible so that_________.

A. they need insects to spread their pollen     B. they succeed in producing more seeds

C. their seeds can be carried to other places    D. they can manage to absorb more nutrients

67. What is the best title of the text?

A. Dirty Tricks        B. Smelly Plants   C. A strange Flower   D. Secrets of Nature.
