Have you ever wondered why?Locusts(蝗虫) are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than enemies. The reason is that the colours of locusts change with the colours of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to yellow or brown as crops do.Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies.This is because they have colours similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colourful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark–coloured and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colours different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.Have you ever noticed any even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.36.According to the passage, most soil insects ______ .A. do not have bright coloursB. change their colours with the soilC. do not appear in the daytimeD. eat colourful insects like butterflies and bees37.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in the passage?A. liveB. sleepC. find foodD. lay eggs38.

Locusts can’t be easily caught because they are good jumpers or runner and clever.(D)According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of the students say they are worried about robbery on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School, gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.If you are robbed.Keep calm. If you can not cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try toremember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.If you are in a traffic accident.If a car hits you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go.
