Plants are very important. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals can get their food by eating plants and other animals. Man gets his food by eating plants and animals, too. So animals and men need plants in order to live. This is why there are so many plants around us.

There are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can know some trees from their flowers and fruit. Non-flowering plants do not grow flowers. You can not see many non-flowering plants around you.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large and some are small. Most of them are green. Thanks to the plants around us, we can live on the earth.

Do you know why different animals or pests (害虫) have their special colors？Colors on them seem to be used mainly (主要地) to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot catch them easily. Why? Because locusts change their colors according to the colors of crops (庄稼). 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 (隐藏) themselves and appear (出现) only at night.

If you study 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 (猎人). This is because they have colors much like the trees.

A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads out, its enemies (敌人) cannot find it, so it can escape (逃跑) at once. So it can live long, though it is not strong at all.
