Some people dislike hiking because they think it is too difficult. However, sometimes it can really be as easy as going out to the park and walking by the river. The places for hiking should be far away from the cars and the noise. Here’s some useful advice for people to go hiking.

First of all, when you choose your first hike, you should be careful. If you choose a too easy one, you’ll still have a nice day outside to enjoy. However, if you choose a too hard one, you may be very tired and can’t have a good time.

Secondly, it’s good for a beginner to join a group. The people in a group can help each other. If you decide to take a hike by yourself, you should prepare as much as possible. You should wear right shoes to make your feet comfortable. Also, take a map with you. If not , you’ll fail to find your way home.

At last, don’t forget to take a mobile phone or a whistle(口哨). When you are in trouble, you can use it to get help. A pleasant hike will give you a sense of freedom(自由) and you will also have a clear mind(頭腦) and then return to your studies after it.

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 colours 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.
