The boy said to it, “Come here, good dog. I’ll give you some bread.” The dog was hungry and went to the boy, but he did not give it any bread. He kicked (踢) the dog. It ran away and the boy laughed. Then Richard came out of his house and said to the boy, “Come here, good boy. I’ll give you a shilling (先令).” The boy was happy and ran towards Richard. But Richard did not give him a shilling. He hit him with a stick. The boy cried and said, “Why did you hit me? I did not ask you for money!” “No, you didn’t,” said Richard. “But the dog did not ask you for any bread, either.”

Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? Because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by other animals. So they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
The main use of the animals’ coloring is to protect themselves. When bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests, they cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because their colors and the trees’ colors are quite alike.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体) when it faces danger. Because when the liquid spreads over, its enemies (敌人) cannot find it. And it swims away at once. So it has lived on though it is not strong at all. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
( ) 1. From the passage, we learn that locusts ____.
A. are big animals B. are easily found by birds C. are dangerous to their enemies
D. change their colors to protect themselves
( ) 2. How can some pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?
A. They run away quickly. B. They send out black liquid.
C. They hide themselves in the daytime and appear at night. D. They have to move quietly.
( ) 3. Bears and lions can keep safe because ____.
A. their colors and the trees’ colors are quite alike B. they move quickly
C. they like brown and gray colors D. they live in forests
( ) 4. Why can the kind of fish referred in the passage live on?
A. Because it is very big and strong.
B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape (逃) from its enemies.

Where Are We Going, Dad? is one of the most popular television shows in China now. Fathers now take an active part in their children's lives.
Five well-known fathers and their children travel around China, riding camels through the western deserts (沙漠), fishing in the east sea, and selling vegetables to get money back home in the southwestern Yunnan Province. One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but he learns quickly and does it well now. Another one must stay with his son for three days in the desert, because he and his son don’t know how to cook, the two only eat instant (即食) noodles.
This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society (社会) —what is the role（角色）of fathers in today’s China? In the old days, children must obey parents’ wishes and look after them in their old age. But Chinese parents now think that discussing and respecting (尊重) their children’s choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern society. “As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time,” said Wang Renping.

you know? Firstly if we can’t sleep 1 , we will be tired. We often have too 2 work to do. We can’t 3 our work in the daytime and we must do it at 4 . We go to bed very 5 and get up very 6 . So we can’t get enough sleep. Most people need at least eight hours of sleep. If we 7 for only five or six hours a night, we will be tired.
Secondly, when we are ill, we will be tired. But we don’t know we are ill. So if you are always tired, perhaps you are not so healthy. You’d better go to see a 8 .
Thirdly, perhaps you shouldn’t eat some kinds of food like eggs, nuts, meat or chocolate. If you are 9 and tired after eating some food, please don’t eat again.

Just now we talked about whether it was right to keep animals in the zoo. Here is the result.
Some students think it is right because it is safe and comfortable for animals to live in the zoo. Zookeepers can take good care of them and they don’t need to worry about their food. Also, people can watch animals in the zoo conveniently and closely.
However, other students don’t agree. They think it is wrong to keep animals in the zoo. First, if animals live in cages in the zoo, they can’t move freely and they won’t feel happy. Second, animals in the zoo will lose their ability to live in the wild. So we should build more nature reserves for them instead of zoos.
