food in.”

Do you know why different animals have their special colours Colours in them seem to be mainly used to
41 themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot 42 catch them. Why It is because locusts change their 43 with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts become green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change 44 the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests whose colours are different from plants are easily found and eaten. So they have to hide themselves for their lives and appear only 45 . Bears, lions and other animals 46 quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters 47
their colours are much like the trees.
Colours are useful not only on the land, but also in the 48 . A kind of fish can give out a kind of black liquid(液体) when they face 49 . The liquid spreads over quickly, so they cannot be found by their enemies and can quickly swim away. That is 50 they can live safely though they are not strong at all. So colours are
really useful to animals.

三、阅读单选
Looking for a place to take a rest, sip a cup of coffee and have a fluffy (毛茸茸的) companion Welcome to animal-themed cafes. In recent years, the combination of pets and catering (餐饮) has become incredibly popular in many cities throughout China. While many cafes started out offering the company of cats and dogs, others are
expanding their range. Some cafes include animals like squirrels, raccoons and even capybaras (水豚).
In reviews, internet users have commented that one of their main reasons for visiting these businesses is to
interact closely with animals they have only seen from afar.
“The customers love animals. They are curious about these pets and want to raise one at home, but circumstances
don’t allow it,” said pet cafe owner Tian Xuhui.
Liu Wan, a Beijing resident who works in finance, loves pigs, but her parents would not approve of her getting one as a pet. The 24-year-old had to admire the animals through videos and images. But now, she can have a close
encounter with an adorable (可爱的) pig every weekend in a pet cafe.
Also, these pet cafes serve as a haven (安全处所) for those who find comfort in being around animals. “In this place, you can get close to the cute little ones in a very comfortable way without having to worry about safety and
hygiene (卫生)—overall, it is an extremely comfortable experience,” said Xiao Ou, 30, a frequent pet cafe visitor.
Animal lovers also expect the pet cafes to change people’s attitudes toward pets.
Animals like ducks, pigs and sheep have been served as food for many years. People hardly see them as pets. But the pet cafes help shift their attitude from seeing them as playthings to regarding them as family members or
close friends.
