D. Answer the questions according to the passage. (根据文章回答问题)
The seahorse is a very strange animal. It is a fish, but its head looks like a horse. The father seahorse takes care of the eggs until they are hatched into baby fish. The seahorse swims “standing up”. Its eyes can move separately(分开地)so it can see everywhere at once. Its mouth is at the end of its nose.
The mother seahorse lays her eggs in a small pocket under the father seahorse’s tail. Then she swims away and never sees the father seahorse or her babies again. Six weeks later, the baby fish are born. At birth, each one is about one centimeter long and as thin as a piece of string. They are very hard to see because they are almost as clear as glass. However, their skin is very hard. About 300 are born at a time.
After the fish are born, the father pays no attention to them.
Seahorses live in warm, shallow(浅的)water where there is lots of sea grass. They can change their colour to match the colours of grass, so it is very hard to see them. Their colouring protects them.
A seahorse lives for two or three years and produces about 1,000 young. Some bigger fish and sea animals eat seahorses, so many of the young never grow up. Many animals leave them all alone, but no one knows why.

When I was about eight, I got a book about stars. That was the beginning of my life’s work. When I was young, I did not use to have much money. I could not buy expensive things, but I had my eyes. I used to go outside every night to look at the stars.
There are billions of stars in the sky--but you can only see about 3,000 with your own eyes.
Get a map of the stars and begin to find your way through the sky. In different seasons, you can see different groups of stars. The shapes of these groups never change. It is easy to learn the name of each group. When you know these, you may start to look at the stars inside each group. Not all stars are the same. Some are big, and some are small. Some look white, some look red and some look blue.
Sometimes, you may see a star move. However, if you see it move from one group to another, then it is not a star but a planet. You are able to see Venus and Jupiter easily. They are both very bright. It is easy to see Mars too. It looks red. You will soon begin to learn more and more about the stars. Then you will want to find out even more about them.
How many stars can you see with your own eyes in the sky at night

Can you see the same groups of stars in different seasons

What colours are the stars in the group
