　　Plants and animals have many beautiful colors. The color， however， for animals is not only beauty. It also means life to them because it helps them hide from other dangerous animals.
Locusts(蝗虫) are delicious food for birds， but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than birds. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops. When crops are young， locusts look green. But when the autumn comes， locusts change to the yellow and brown colors as crops do.
Brown bears， snakes and other animals can't be seen easily by other animals. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason，polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers.
However， insects(昆虫) with colors different from plants may be in danger because other animals can find and eat them easily. So in order to survive， they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night. The ink fish is white， so other animals can find it in dark. When the ink fish faces danger， it will send out some black ink and swim away quickly at the same time.
( )26. What does the color mean for animals？
A. Only beauty. 　 B. Beauty and life.
C. Only life. 　 D. Neither beauty nor life.
( )27. Why is it difficult for birds to catch locusts？
A. Because locusts are good runners. 　 B. Because locusts can jump very high.
C. Because locusts are smarter than birds. 　 D. Because locusts can change their colors.
( )28. What does the underlined word “survive” in Paragraph 4 mean？
A. Win. 　 B. Sleep. 　 C. Live. 　 D. Move.
( )29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A. Locusts look green when the autumn comes.
B. Polar bears have the similar color to the snow and ice.
C. The ink fish in the sea moves quietly when it faces danger.
D. Insects with colors different from plants can easily hide from other animals.
( )30. Why did the writer write the passage？
A. To introduce the way of protecting animals.
B. To help change the colors of animals.
C. To describe the colors of different animals.
D. To tell the importance of animals' colors.

Then I quickly stopped to help it out，” he later told a reporter. As someone recorded him， Mr. Dreyer picked up the dolphin， walked into the sea and put it into the waves(波浪) where it could swim away. “I was really happy，” he said. “I think it was playing close to the waves. And a bigger wave came and pushed it out of the water.”Later that day he posted the video on the Facebook page of his business， saying， “We met this cute dolphin on the beach.”“After I had tried to get it to swim again， it got into the water and took off like a bullet(子弹).
