Long ago，Bluebird's feathers were the colour of dust. She did not like her ugly colour．She was attracted by the colour of the lake near her home．It was as blue as the sky after a storm．Bluebird wanted to be the colour of that beautiful lake very much．
Flapping her wings one morning，Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times．After each bath，she sang，“Blue water．Still water．I went in．I am blue．”Bluebird repeated this every morning. On the third day，she came out ot the lake with beautiful blue feathers.
Now Coyote was a trickster(骗子)---and hungry too. He stayed behind Bluebird ‘s tree for a long time every day and watched her go to the lake．He pretended(伪装)to be interested in everything she did．He wanted Bluebird for lunch，but he was afraid of the blue water. On the third
Morning, Coyote saw Bluebird come out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers．Impressed，he sat next to Bluebird’s tree and waited for her．When she returned, he asked，“How did you get blue feathers?I want to be blue like the mountains too．”Bluebird didn't believe Coyote，but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song．Coyote did what she said, and after three days of bathing in the lake，his white fur turned deep blue．
Convinced(确信的)that blue fur was even more beautiful than blue feathers，Coyote forgot all about being hungry．He ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. Standing on his back legs, he raised his front legs off the ground and howled．But Coyote slipped(滑倒)and rolled down the hill．He couldn’t stop himself，and the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur．He rolled and rolled until he hit into Bluebird’s tree heavily．No matter how much he tried，foolish Coyote could not shake the dust from his fur. And so the fur of all coyotes has the dull colour of dust to this very day.
36．How many times did Bluebird bathe every morning before she had beautiful blue feathers?，
A．Three times。 B．Four times． C．Five times．D．Six times．
37．Why was Coyote a trickster?

B．He wanted to eat Bluebird but pretended to be curious．
C．He wanted to swim in the lake but was afraid of the water．
D．He wanted to sing Bluebird’s song but didn't know the words.
38．Where did Coyote go after his fur turned blue?
A．To the lake． B．To the tree． C．To the cave．D．To the hill．
39．Why did Coyote forget all about being hungry?
A．Because his fur had the dull colour of dust．
B．Because the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur．
C．Because he hit into Bluebird’s tree and hurt himself．
D．Because he thought blue fur was much more beautiful．
40．What words does the writer use to help you imagine the colour blue?

As a young man，he spent much of his life exploring the beauty of the wilderness．He walked more than a thousand miles across the country，through fields and woods．John Muir liked writing about the places he visited，describing their beauty.
Muir also wrote about problems．In order to create more farmland for sheep and cattle, rnany trees were being cut down．This made Muir unhappy and worried，because he knew that trees were important to forests and to the animals that lived in them．Muir believed that nature should be conserved(保护)instead of being changed by human beings．He wrote articles in magazines and newspapers to spread the word about conserving forests．Soon，others began to listen．
Muir wrote letters to important people，such as President Theodore Roosevelt．The president admired Muir’s love for nature．When Roosevelt came to
