Octopuses are very smart.They can learn new things just like humans.They've even learned a few skills to get themselves out of dangerous situations (情况).Octopuses don't have teeth or sharp claws (爪子) to protect themselves.(73)Instead,they use more clever ways to fool their enemies (敌人).Octopuses like to hide themselves in the sand.An octopus can change the colour of its skin to make it look like sand.And this colour change happens (74)in less than a minute.(75)Another way an octopus can hide is by shooting ink.The ink is like a cloud that hides the octopus.By the time the ink clears,the octopus has swum away.
If an octopus is in (76)danger,it can also make itself look like a sea snake.It will hide itself in the sand,leaving two arms outside.It will change the colour of those arms to match a sea snake.
But what will octopus do if there's no time to hide?It can (77)break off one of its arms.The arm will then change colours and keep moving around in the water to take the enemy(敌人)'s attention away.At the same time,the octopus swims away to safety.Don't worry though.The arm will(78)grow back.

You either have it,or you don't----a sense of direction,that is.But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map,while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction,(61)Cit is not properly understood how it works.One idea is that people with a good sense of direction have worked hard at developing it.Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it,we lose it.
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around."Says Jim Martland,Research Director of the project."However,if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car,they will (62)A develop the skills".
Jim Martland also says that young people should be taught certain (63)Bto improve their sense of direction.He makes the following suggestions:

▼Simplify(简化) the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town,streams,or walls in the countryside to guide you.Count your steps (66)Cyou know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you will never get lost again!
