    Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colors?    96  .

    Some birds like eating locusts，but birds cannot easily catch them．Why?  97   When crops are green，locusts look green．But as the harvest time comes，locusts change to the same brown color as crops have．  98  So they are to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night．

    If you study the animal life，you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears，lions and other animals move quietly through forests．They cannot be easily seen by hunters．  99  

Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger．While the liquid spreads over，its enemies cannot find it．  100  So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all．

    In general，laws(法律)for children ale a good thing．One hundred years ago in industrial(工业的)countries，children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age of seven．The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough．Both parents and teachers could do the same．Today．there ale many laws about children all over the world．Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished；others do not agree．The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children．The parents don’t hit them．If the children go too far．the parents punish them by making fun of them．

    Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children．American parents can spank(打……臀部)their children at home，but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school. This is also true in Germany．In contrast(对比)，it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden．Swedish parents cannot spank their children．The children also have a special government official who works for their rights．There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet!

101．The children worked            one hundred years ago．
