    He flew far over the forest until he came to the towns of man． He went into a town and saw the burning things． He learned that it was called “fire”． He did not ask for a piece of it to take to the birds because there was so much food lying around man’s houses that he started eating and forgot what he came for．

    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.

    Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will jump back.
    But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have the balance in your life. How?
    Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
    Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
    Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
    Don’t be afraid of difficulties. We learn how to be brave by taking chances.
    Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
    Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
    Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
    Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
    【小题1】The passage tells us not to _________ because everyone is special.

    A．be afraid of difficulties
    B．be afraid to learn
    C．run through life so fast

    A．Nothing is possible
    B．If we don’t give up, there is always hope
    C．You should learn to give up
    D．Although you try, nothing will change.
    【小题3】Why can’t we use time carelessly? ___________
    A．Because time is too expensive
    B．Because time never returns.
    C．Because we are too poor
    D．Because times will get back.
