Do you know why different animals or pests（害虫）have their special colours？Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves．
Some birds like eating locusts（蝗虫），but birds cannot easily catch them．Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops．Ⅵmen crops are green，locusts look green．But as the harvest time comes，locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have．Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others．So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night．
If you study the animal life，you’ll find the main use of culturing is protecting themselves．Bears，lions and other animals move quietly through forests．They cannot be seen by hunters．This is because they have the colours much like the tree．
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger．While the liquid spread over，the enemies cannot find it．And it immediately swims away．So it has rived up to now though it isn’t strong at all．

阅读快车系列答案Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal (偷) the bell on his neighbor’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of (抓住) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.
Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won’t be able to hear the noise.” The next day he went to the door of his neighbor, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbor came running out. “Steal my bell? I’ll teach you a lesson (教训),”the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.
The foolish thief did not know how the neighbor found out he was stealing the bell. “Why did he come out just then?” he wondered (感到疑惑).
