Their colors seem to be used mainly to keep themselves safe. Some birds like eating locusts, but birds cant catch them easily. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of the crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. When crops are brown, locusts change to the same color. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by ohters. So they have to appear only at night. If you study animal life, youll find the main use of coloring is to keep themselves safe. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cant be easily seen because they have the colors much like the trees. Have you ever seen a kind of fish in the sea that can send out something black when it faces danger and quickly swims away?

Life has become difficult in many villages, and some are becoming empty. There are a lot of reasons for this. Firstly, young people from villages usually want to live somewhere livelier, and they often move to the towns and do not return. Secondy, people move to the cities to find work, as there are very few jobs in the countryside. Sometimes villages remain because people from the cities have bought a “second home” in the villages, where they come and stay at weekends. The price of the houses goes up and people like to buy a house in the conutryside. Another problem is that it is becoming more and more difficult for farmers to make money from their farms. So they sell their land and find another job. All these things mean that many villages are fighting to survive. We can only hope that they will remain. The countryside would be a sadder and uglier place without them.6. Many young people from the villages move to the towns because they .

Suppose you work in the hotel eight hours a day and five days a week. How much money can you get each week? .

In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10%to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed. Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the center for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in the other jobs. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene (基因）for right handedness, he/she may become either right-or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with. Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange of unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hand like other children, but today they dont have to.16. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found .A. the art began from 1,500 B.C. B. the works of art ended in 1950 C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed17. How many people in the world are left-handed now? . A. Less than one sixth B. More than a half C. About 40% D. The passage doesnt tell us18. What is the left hand for most people used to do? It i
