Mr. Jenkins liked all kinds of delicious foods. As an important officer, he was often asked to dinner. The shopkeepers tried their best to fawn on (奉承) him. They knew it was good for their business. Now the officer got fatter and fatter. He could hardly go upstairs at home and had to sleep downstairs. He often felt tired if he walked or did some housework. He was worried about it and had to go to see a doctor. “Stop eating much fat and sugar, Mr.Jenkins,”said the doctor. “Or it’ll be worse for your health!”

It was difficult for the officer to do it. He wouldn’t do as the doctor said. Of course, he found something was wrong with his heart a few months later. Now he thought the doctor was right. And he had to be in hospital.

“You must lose weight,sir,”said the doctor.“Unless you want to die soon!”

“Could you tell me a way to lose weight, please?”

“ You must do an exercise first.”

“Which exercise?”

“To move your head from side to side when you’re invited to dinner!”

  Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

  Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds can’t easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When 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 are to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions, and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.

Have you ever noticed an even more strange 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 can’t find it. And it immediately swims away.So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
