Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locustschange to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pestswith different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main useof coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like theHave you ever noticed an even stranger act?

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.（）6. Who made Donald Duck film? ______A. Mickey Mouse.B. Clarence Nash.C. Walt Disney.D. Pluto.（）7.

Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those which you might have.Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently?Do you point to words with your finger as you read?Do you move your head from side to side as you read?Do you read one word at a time?If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them,or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand and hold your head still(静止不动的).If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster.As you probably have been told, the fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance. Read in thought groups and force(强迫)your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these things will be able to read faster（）16.You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading so as（为了）_______.A to tell others to be silentB. to feel whether your lips move or notC. to hold a piece of paper between themD. to keep yourself from talking to others（）17.When you read, ________.A.don’t keep your head stillB.don’t hold your books with your handsC.don’t stand up near a deskD.don’t use your finger to point to words（）18.If you learn to read fast, ______.A.you can read more in less timeB.you can write fasterC.you can understand betterD.you can read less in more time（）19.You must _____ those habits that we are talking about in this reading.A. rememberB. haveC. get rid of(消除)D. keep（）20.
