We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.      When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called "salmon"(鲑鱼).This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.         Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year,when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place,but at other times we don"t. Maybe living things just like to travel.
1. The reason for most of the animals to move is ____________. 2. Find the word in the passage which means "the movement from one place to another of     a large group of animals" and write it down here: ____________. 3. The underlined word "There" in the second paragraph refers to (指的是) ____________. 4. The salmon comes back to its birthplace in order to ____________. 5. The lobsters begin to move to another place when ____________.

Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors? Colors are used mainly to protect themselves.      Why can"t some birds easily catch locusts (蝗虫)? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night.       If you study the animal life, you"ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals can"t be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.      Have you ever noticed an even more strange thing? A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies can"t find it. And it quickly swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

This school was built in 2001 with the help of China, for children from poor families.     After getting to school, Wangi went straight to his class to do his class work. It is usual that pupils in this school prepare for their lessons before the teacher comes.     To study in the school was once a dream for the poor boy.

Some days she took home nothing, and some days she could get about $3-it was hardly enough to buy them a full meal for a day.     Before joining the Mcedo-Beijing school, Mwangi was at home with his seven brothers, collecting garbage (垃圾). The school is giving these children hope for the future by providing a chance to get education.     "For me, education is the best gift," said Mwangi.

Being a youth is one thing, and being a good one is another. A good youth should have these qualities (品德): First of all, health. A healthy body is the best riches.
