The time has come: I’m graduating, and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years. I still remember when you used to say, "You can be whatever you want to be."

Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫) , but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of' crops. 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 themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the 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. This is because they have the colors much like the trees. They can often hide in the trees and catch some other little animals.
