Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts，but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When 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 colouring 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? A 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 lived up to now though it isn’t strong at all.From the passage we can learn that locusts .

Students have to take tests．Sometimes，robots do too．Torobo from Japan is one of these robots．
Torobo is a robot brain with two arms．It is part of a project called"Can a Robot Get into the University of Tokyo？"A group of Japanese scientists started it in 2011．
To go to the University of Tokyo，Torobo has to take Japan's national college entrance exam （高考）．So in 2013，the robot started to take the test with Japanese students．Sadly，Torobo has failed the test every year．It couldn't get a good enough score for the University of Tokyo．This year it was the same．
Torobo has a big database（数据库）．So it is good at knowledge and calculations （计算）．That's why it got high scores in physics，history and math．But Torobo is not good at thinking by itself．So it got low scores in language and writing．
Scientists started the Torobo project to learn about the intellectual abilities（智能） of machines．Now after Torobo's four years of hard work，they may have learned a lot．
