colors of crops.When crops are green,locusts look green.But as autumn comes,locusts change to the same brown color as crops have.Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others.So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night.If you study the animal life,youll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves.Bears,lions and other animals cant be easily seen by hunters.This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even more strange thing?A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid when it faces danger.While the liquid spreads over,its enemies cant find it.And it quickly swims away.So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.(1)From the article we learn that

to assorted materials.Reading has never failed to fascinate me since childhood.During that period,I received various books from my parents,thus acquiring the habit in the spare time.It can not only broaden my horizon but enrich life experience as well.As Frances Bacon once put,“Histories make men wise,poets witty,mathematics subtile,natural philosophy deep.”In addition,we have more common topics with friends.Therefore,extensive reading contributes to abundant knowledge and literacy,which is a good habit and bright star guiding me to the future.
