Do you know why different animals or pests（害蟲(chóng)）have their special colours？Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves．

Some birds like eating locusts（蝗蟲(chóng)），but birds cannot easily catch them．Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops．Ⅵmen crops are green，locusts look green．But as the harvest time comes，locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have．Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others．So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night．

If you study the animal life，you’ll find the main use of culturing is protecting themselves．Bears，lions and other animals move quietly through forests．They cannot be seen by hunters．This is because they have the colours much like the tree．

Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger．While the liquid spread over，the enemies cannot find it．And it immediately swims away．So it has rived up to now though it isn’t strong at all．

American people like to say“Thank you”when others help them or say something kind to them．People of many countries do so，too．It is a very good habit．

You should say“Thank you”when someone passes you the salt on the table，when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you，when someone says you have done your work well，or you have bought a nice thing，or your city is very beautiful．“Thank you”is used not only between friends，but also between parents and children，brothers and sisters．

“Excuse me”is another short sentence they use．When you hear someone say so behind you，you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you．It’s not polite to break others when they are talking．If you want to speak to one of them，say，“Excuse me”first，and then begin talking．You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others．
