初中英语牛津版（深圳·广州）八年级下册Module3 Animals Unit 5 Save the endangered animals同步练习
In nature, you may see many insects(昆虫) and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why?
Locusts are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors, of locusts change with the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can't be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark colored and they live under the soil(土壤)in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.

Sit back and get relaxed!
These days, we easily feel stressed as we get more and more work to do. It's important to know how to solve problems and find ways to relax.
First, we should try organizing our work from most important to least important as well as most urgent(紧急的) to least urgent. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} As soon as those are done, work on things that are important but not urgent. Then, do things that are less important and less urgent. This makes us know what to do first and not worry about the rest.
Still, sometimes we feel stressed even after organizing our work. That's okay. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Because exercise helps a lot in forgetting about our problems. It doesn't even have to be a big trip to the gym, although that surely helps. It could be something as small as walking around the neighborhood for 10 to 20 minutes.
Finally, we can try meditation(冥想). {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Just set aside 10 to 20 minutes with an alarm clock, sit straight, close our eyes, and focus only on breathing. If other thoughts come up, accept that they are there and let them fly away on their own. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
By trying these steps, we will certainly feel peaceful when finishing all of the work.
A. How can we do that? B. It is not easy to get work organized. C. Try to add some exercise into our weekly plan. D. Both our body and mind can get relaxed this way. E. If some problems are both important and urgent, do those things first. |
Which way is better for you to get relaxed? Why?( about 20 words) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
