Many animals hide(躲藏) to stay alive. They hide in many ways. Some animals hide in leaves; some animals hide in snow. Usually their colors or shapes(形状) help protect them.

Some chameleons can change colors in five minutes.
Many animals try to look bigger than they are to stay alive. Some animals can make other animals think they are very big. If they look very big, animals that are looking for food will run away. Bears can walk on two legs. They look very, very scary(可怕的). Some animals will run away from them.
Many animals try to stay around other animals. This helps them stay alive. Zebras stay close together so that they can help each other look out for danger.

Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear? In fact, the polar（北极） bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two-and-a-half years old.
However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The ones that are left are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice— polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on.
Ordinary people don't care, but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world.

You either have it, or you don’t－a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory(推测) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes(强调) that（1）年轻人应该被教会必要技能提高自己的方向感. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to the way you are facing.
（2）If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree ----something easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify(简化) the way for finding your direction. Using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone, and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you will never get lost again!How old are the children when they have the ability to find the way around.

Is human blood all the same? “Yes.” You may say, “It’s all red.” Well, it’s not as simple as you might think.
Blood is made up of different parts, such as red blood cells（红细胞）, white blood cells and platelets(血小板).
Two chemical molecules（分子）on the red blood cells make people’s blood different. Scientists mark one molecule “A” and the other molecules “B”. According to which an how many molecules are on the red cell, scientists divide blood into four types: A, B, AB, O. Scientists have been wondering if there are some links between people’s blood
types and their personalities, but they don’t know for sure yet. But some say that people with the same blood type may have things in common. People with type A: They look peaceful from the outside. But they ask too much of
themselves so that they may be very nervous inside. They get happy or sad easily.
Sometimes they are shy but always very careful. They can easily win people’s trust.
People with type B: They have strong minds. Once they start a task, they don’t give
up easily. They’ll try their best to finish it and do it well. Type B people always try to
make themselves different from others. They want to do things in their own way.
People with type AB; They are maybe the strangest among all blood types. They
can be both open and shy , noisy and quiet at the same time. They are responsible and
always ready to help others.
People with type O: They are open and good at making friends. They always start
tasks but don’t always finish them. They have lots of new ideas and love to be the center of attention. They always strongly believe in themselves.From the fourth paragraph, we know the blood types are decided by ________.
A. the kind and amount of platelets.
B. the amount of white blood cells
