Do you know why different animals or pests(害虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be mainly used to 1 themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot 2catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their3 with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look 4. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change into the same brown color 5 crops have. Some other pests whose colors are 6 plants are easily found and eaten by7. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only8.
If you 9animals’ life, you’ll find the main use of colors is to protect 10. Bears, lions and other animals11 quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters 12their colors are much like the trees.
Colors are useful not only on the land, but also in the 13. A kind of fish can 14液体) when they face danger. The liquid spreads over quickly, so they cannot be found by their enemies and can quickly swim away. That is 15 they can live safely though they are not strong at all. So colors are really useful to animals.

I felt so ashamed and 6 that I didn’t know what to say, so I just turned around and left.

There was once a lonely girl who wanted love very much.One day while she was walking in the forest,she found two birds.She took them home and put them in a small1.She was happy to have two“friends”.She2them with love and the birds grew strong.One day the girl forgot to close the door of the cage.The 3of the two flew out of the cage.The girl was afraid that it would fly away.She caught it quickly.She felt glad that she caught the bird before it could fly away.Suddenly she couldn’t4a sound from the bird.When she opened her hand,the bird was already(已经)dead.Her5killed(杀死)the bird! Then she saw6bird jumping up and down7the cage.She could feel its great need for freedom.It wanted to fly into the blue sky.So she let it fly away8.The bird circled(转圈)once,twice,and three times.The girl9as the bird flew.She didn’t care about losing the bird any more.She wanted it to be happy.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the10song she had ever heard(她所听过的).
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly,and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

“Get up, get up, Jim. It’s time to get up!” mother said while she was 1 me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. “Oh, dear! It’s a quarter to eight already. I’ll be late for school again,” I thought. I 2  out of the bed, washed my face, and then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I 3the bus, it started running. “I’m sure I can get to school in time,” I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There’s 4wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one. ” “I couldn’t wait. The school is not 5. I’d better run to school,” I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to school, it began to 6 heavily.
When I 7 the classroom, I was wet shivering (发抖) with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and—so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated (犹豫) for a moment, and then I opened the door. “I’m very sorry, Mr Smith. I'm late again,” I said with a red face.
“It’s you again, Jim,” Mr Smith said 8, “I’ve told you not to be late, but you... ” He suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to 9 and said, “I’m very sorry, my boys and girls,”  With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. “Now, take off your wet coat and put this one on, or you'll catch cold. ” he said kindly.
I went to my seat with Mr Smith’s jacket on. It was a bit larger for me but I felt very 10 in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!

On my first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t 1 her,” Lauren said, who sat beside me, “or they will make fun of you.”
Amy had many physical differences —lots of 2 for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really ugly teeth.
Every day as we drove to school, kids would shout insults (侮辱) at Amy. “God, what a
3 face! Stop looking at me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her 4, and now her eyes are frightening me! Make her put them back on!” I also did that because I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.
But while I was insulting her, my heart 5 for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look 6, because she was so ashamed and alone. Then I wanted to stand up for her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates 7 the night of our class roller skating party.
Our whole class was there, including Amy. Amy didn’t know how to 8, but I could see how much she wanted to 9 like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. We began the journey together around the skating rink. She just smiled, and sometimes she would laugh in 10.
On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me 11  together, but 12 insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year.
After graduation, I never heard from Amy again. However, I never 13 her and I’ve always 14 if I changed her life for the better. But I know for sure she changed my life. After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress (给…留下印象) people by trying to 15 like them. I became myself.

Teddy' s Bear

The story of how the teddy bear was invented is an interesting one. In 1902, American president Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt was hunting (打猎) in the forest 1 several of his friends. Almost everyone had successfully shot (射中) an animal, but the president 2 not.  Nobody wanted to make the president look 3, so they tied an American black bear to a 4. They wanted the president to shoot (射中) 5.
The president was very surprised to see the bear tied to a tree. He felt it was 6 to shoot the bear, because it couldn't run away. He 7 to shoot it, and the story of his decision went all over the country. 8 was moved by the president's beliefs (信念). There was 9 a cartoon showing the president refusing to shoot a cute bear.
It was this cartoon and the story behind the president's hunting trip that gave Morris an idea to make a new 10. He made a small, soft bear and 11 it in his shop window. Next to the bear he made a sign that read, "Teddy's Bear". The new toy was a big success and it 12 Morris with the money to create a toy company.
Teddy bears have been 13 since they were first made. A teddy bear would be the first choice 14 people think about children's toys. Theodore Roosevelt's famous 15 on a hunting trip in 1902 brought millions of soft, stuffed (填满填充物的) bears. They are being loved by people across the world.
