21、Do you know why different animals or pests(害虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? 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 the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors 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 coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees. They can often hide in the trees and catch some other little animals.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
【1】From the passage we learn that locusts _____.
A. are small animals

22、When hunting for a job in a weak economy, every detail counts. It's no longer good enough to be a qualified applicant, so job clubs can be of much help.
What is a job club? Job connection clubs are small groups of people across America who meet regularly to talk about job searching and career. These clubs support the success of all members. Looking for work chances is made easier when you're not alone. Job clubs are rooted in the belief that each member has something valuable to contribute and that everyone will benefit from the advice and encouragement.
Why start or join a job club? Job searching can possibly be a lonely and discouraging process, but it doesn't have to be that way. Becoming part of a local job club can offer valuable help. It may also bring a strong sense of confidence that gets you going in the right direction.

To support your success, the club will provide practical suggestions, including specific (特定的) discussion topics to get you started and keep you encouraged along the way of overcoming the difficulties in a job hunt.
What are the topics of a job club? While the form of club activities may be the same, the varied topics of discussion mean that no two meetings are exactly alike.

24、 When their daughter Morey started kindergarten, the Belanger family were worried because their 6-year-old daughter was deaf. Rather than send her to a special school for deaf children, Morey's parents decided to give her a traditional school experience and send her to Dayton Consolidated School.
They worried if their daughter would be able to make friends. They also had concerns as to how her classmates would treat her and whether her teachers would be able to help her learn effectively(有效地). But then the school had a response they never expected — teaching all their students and staff sign language. That way, everyone could communicate with Morey on a personal level.
"I absolutely feel like it makes her feel welcomed," said Morey's mom. "I think all the kids feel excited that they know another language and I think they think it's fun. It makes me happy to see her supported, loved and accepted. Morey is excited to go to school every day. She's made really good friendships. "
Not only did they learn sign language,but they also put up sign language posters in the halls and equipped a special hearing system. Additionally, they provided extra training so that teachers could become more familiar with the language. “Morey, without even knowing it, has taught us so much," says headmaster Kimberly Sampietro. "She's brought a culture to our system that we didn't have before. Morey helped the whole class to learn the alphabet. The kids look up to her, they want her around, and they want to partner with her. ”
Morey's hearing loss is a result of a condition that's so rare that it's never been named. However, thanks to the hard work and goodwill of her classmates and teachers, she can communicate with them on her terms.
【1】What concerned the Belangers when Morey started kindergarten?
A.That they would have to separate from her.
B.That they could hardly afford her education.

【2】Why did Dayton Consolidated School teach all their students and staff sign language?
A.To equip them with one more practical skill.
B.To develop closer student-teacher relationships.
C.Out of concern for their teaching effectiveness.
D.Out of concern for a student with special needs.
【3】What does Morey's mom think of the kindergarten's response?
A.Inspiring and useful.
B.Dull but worthwhile.
C.Considerate but complex.
