Why do different kinds of fruits have so many colours?According to a scientist, fruit colours actually come from their different pigments (色素) , such as red or yellow carotenoid and blue or purple anthocyanin. These pigments appear in different amounts, depending on the fruit’s environment. This causes the fruit to turn a certain colour.To find out how environment affects fruit colours, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colours, including white, red, blue, purple and black.They found that red fruits mainly grow in cooler places. And instead of just growing in one place, you can find them growing in many places around the world. Blue and purple fruits mostly grow in warm places. These fruits grow a lot in just one specific area. The scientists also found that the closer the fruit is to the equator (赤道) , the darker its colour will be.Animals have also had the powerful effect on the evolution (进化) of fruit colours. Animals eat fruits and drop the seeds in other places later. This helps the fruit spread and grow in different places. Therefore, in order to attract animals, some fruits develop colours that are easy for animals to see. However, animals see colours in a different way. Fruits need to develop colours that are suited to animals’ visual abilities. For example, birds can see red more easily than humans can. Therefore, there are more red fruits in areas where birds live.1. You are more likely to find blue and purple fruits in ______ places.A. coolerB. warmerC. higherD. lower2. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Dark fruits mainly grow close to the equator.B. Green fruits usually grow in cool places.C. Humans can see red more easily than birds.D. Birds are colour-blind and can see no colours.3. Some frits develop certain colours to ______ .A. let animals run awayB. take in more sunlightC. make animals eat themD. protect themselves4. Which of the following factors has influenced the evolution of fruit colours?a. The environment.b. Pigments.c. Animals.d. Humans’ visual abilities.A. abcB. bedC. acdD. abd5. The best title for the passage may be "______".A. What colours different fruits areB. How many colours fruits haveC. When people grow colourful fruitsD. Why fruits have different coloursBACADCJan puts up her jacket’s hat and runs across to the tree. She looks around but she can’t see the boy.

Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.Grades at school are often a top worry for students. If you're worried about grades, ask yourself these questions.☆ How do I get ready for class? Do I review my notes even when there isn't a test?☆ Do I have a good place to do my homework?☆ Have I tried different ways of studying?If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do----write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.Ask for helpWhen you're worried, you can find someone to chat with. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers forAnimals do many different, amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them immigrate.They travel to other places where the weather is warmer or where they can find food.Many birds migrate in autumn. Because the trip can be dangerous, some travel in large groups. For example, geese(☆) fly in noisy, “V”-shaped groups. Other kinds of birds fly alone.Some animals stay active in winter. They must change themselves as the weather changes. Many change their doing or their bodies. For example, snowshoe rabbits grow white fur to help them hide in the snow.Food is hard to find in winter. Some animals, like mice, collect lots of food in autumn and store it to eat later. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change.Some animals hibernate(冬眠) for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. The animal’s body temperature drops, and its heartbeat and breathing slow down. It uses very little energy. In autumn, these animals get ready for winter by eating much more food than in summer and storing it as body fat. They use this fat to keep them alive while hibernating.Water makes good protection for many animals. When the weather gets cold, they move to the bottom of lakes and rivers. There, frogs and many fish hide under rocks or fallen leaves. Cold water holds more oxygen than warm water, and frogs can breathe through their skin.Every type of insect has its own life cycle(循环) and that is the way it grows and changes. Different insects spend the winter in different forms of their lives. Some insects also spend the winter without moving. Some insects spend the winter as pupae(☆). Other insects die after laying eggs in autumn. The eggs change into new insects in spring and everything begins all over again.( )1.What does the underlined word “immigrate” in the first paragraph most probably mean ?A. move from one place to anotherB. sleep in the winterC. disappearD. look for food( )2.

We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn’t stand it.▲I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea.

As a result many animals and plants are dying. Some forests are so badly damaged(破坏) that they become deserts(沙漠).Animals are our friends. All of us should do something to protect them.One of the most important ways is to protect their habitats(栖息地). When visiting a natural park, you should make sure you follow the rules. Leave the flowers, birds and eggs where you find them. You can even grow a tree or build a birdhouse in your garden.We should also protect the environment(环境). You’d better take a bus, ride bicycles or walk but not drive cars. Turn off lights, radios and televisions when you are not using them. Take your own bag to the supermarket when you go shopping.Another important thing to protect animals is to think about what you use and eat. Don’t buy things which are made of animal fur or ivory(动物的长牙). Eat more vegetables and fruit but less meat.There are many groups working on saving animals. Join one of them and start helping today!2.How many roles did Deng Chao play in the film Shadow?___________________________________3.What did Deng Chao have to do to play both roles in the film?________________________________4.How many kilograms dis Deng Chao lose for the film in two months?__________________________5.Why was Deng Chao often grumpy?_____________________________________________________五、阅读理解New books this monthThe Long NightThi s is David Reilly’s first book.
