I am happy to have the chance to talk to you during our class meeting today. If I told you that playing a particular game would give a boost to your reading skills, would you want to learn the game? Sure you would. The game I am talking about is chess.

You could get better scores in math by learning chess, I found many pages on the Internet telling how this game is so much more than just a way to pass the time. Chess requires problem solving. Educators and researchers have done studies with students just like you and me. These studies prove that chess teaches how to think ahead, how to plan, and how to be systematic in an approach to problem solving. If we know better how to use these skills, it figures we can use these sae techniques to solve math problems. I read that one professor said that he saw improvement in his math students' scores after they had been playing chess for only three weeks. Is there any one of us who couldn't improve his or her math skills?

Playing chess is a mental workout. It is thinking and analyzing. When we read, we think about and analyze the material and hope that we comprehend (理解) it. Playing chess also will help us learn to concentrate, something we must do when we read.

There is no cost for chess lessons. There is no special equipment to buy or uniform required. The only thing you have to bring is a determination to learn how to play.

Strategy and reasoning are tools we can use for a lifetime. Chess will help us develop these skills! Welcome to our chess lesson!

In the wild, it often comes down to predator and prey—the hunter and the hunted. As you can imagine, most animals and plants want to stay alive. They have developed ways of adapting to severe habitats, and hiding or escaping from those who would like to eat them. So how do they do it?

One very helpful adaptation is called camouflage (伪装色). You may have been surprised by an animal that was using camouflage in the past. It mixed itself with its environment so well that you nearly missed seeing it at all. Its coloring, markings, or other physical features are similar to its habitat so much that you can look directly at it without seeing it at first. This is often good enough to fool a predator that is scanning an area to look for food. This helps prey to hide from its predator. But did you know that it often works the other way around, too? Predators can use camouflage to trap their prey (猎物). If a predator wants to eat a certain animal, and that animal cannot see it lying in wait, it can attack its prey unexpectedly, eating it before it even knows what is happening.

Another popular adaptation is mimicry. Mimicry is when an animal has markings or other physical characteristics (特征) that allow it to look like some other kind of animal or plant. If it can make its predators believe that it is something that preys on (捕食) them, or would at least be difficult or painful to catch, its predator will often go off in search of an easier target.

Sometimes animals are able to survive when their habitat changes because they adapt to the new conditions. For example, birds that were used to nesting on high mountains or in tall trees have survived industrialization of their habitat by learning to nest in tall buildings. Raccoons (浣熊) could easily adapt to residential areas that have taken over their forest homes. They often help themselves to any food they can grab, whether it is in trashcans, or inside people's homes!

16、What does the sentence "But did you know that it often works the other way around, too?" mean? ______

A. Predators can use camouflage to catch their preys.

B. Preys can use camouflage to catch their predators.

C. Predators cannot use camouflage to catch their preys.

A. An animal's physical characteristics don't look like some other kind of animal or plant.

B. An animal's physical characteristics look like some other kind of animal or plant.

C. An animal's physical characteristics look like the same kind of animal or plant.

D. A plant's physical characteristics look like some other kind of animal or plant.

18、 Which of the statements is NOT true? ______

A. Raccoons could easily adapt to residential areas by helping themselves to any food they can grab.

B. Raccoons could easily adapt to residential areas by finding food in trashcans.

C. Raccoons could easily adapt to residential areas by searching food inside people's homes.

D. Raccoons could easily adapt to residential areas by taking over their forest homes.

A. Camouflage                                         B. mimicry
