Some animals and insects(昆虫)use camouflage that is, they change color so that it is the same as the color of the tree or plant on which they are sitting. Others have developed a color thousands of years which is like the color of their living place.

After Washington's army took up Boston, the Second Continental Congress passed certain measures to bring the colonies(殖民地)into a closer union. Yet in all these discussions, the actual word INDEPENDENCE WAS NEVER OFFICIALLY USED. Many members of the Congress were not ye ready to separate from England. Other members were afraid that if the fighting went against them, they might all be put to death as traitors(叛徒).
There was , however, a small group of patriots who fought continuously for independence. They argued that the war was already going on. Furthermore, if the colonies expected to get help from other countries- for example, form France- then a complete break with England was necessary. On June 7, 1776, one of their members, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, presented a resolution that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free ad independent states. The resolution was bitterly argued but later accepted by the Congress. A committee of five members was named to draw up such a declaration.

2. What is true according to the passage?
