A crow(乌鸦) is about twenty inches (英寸) long and black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any birds. They clean up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their nests(巢) in the trees. They sleep there at night.

Crows are much noisier than other birds. Very often a large number of crows will get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns(轮流) like human beings(人类). It is easy to tell(判断) from crow's sound if they are pleased or angry. Perhaps crows talk a lot because they are friendly birds. A pair of crows will live together all their lives, and if one of them dies, the other one becomes very sad and quiet for the rest of its life and some time later it dies too.

Many animals hide to stay alive. They hide in many ways. Some animals hide in leaves; some animals hide in snow. Usually their colors or shapes help protect them. It's hard to see an Arctic bear in snow. Its white fur helps protect it. Chameleons(变色龙) can hide by changing colors. Their skin turns the same color as what is around them. Some chameleons can change colors in five minutes.

Many animals try to look bigger than they are to stay alive. Some animals can make other animals think they are very big. If they look very big, animals that are looking for food will run away. Bears can walk on two legs. They look very, very scary. Some animals will run away from them.

Many animals try to stay around other animals. This helps them stay alive. Zebras stay close together so that they can help each other look out of danger. Seeing many stripes at once can also confuse animals that want to eat them. Some birds stay in a circle, each toward a different direction. In this way they can also help each other stay alive by looking around for animals that many want to eat one of them.

In the coming summer holidays, you will probably visit the Shanghai Expo. Before you head off the Expro, please read the following tips so that you behave properly and show off China's best face to visitors from other countries.

When waiting in a line

Wait patiently instead of cutting to the front of the line. If you have to leave your spot in line and want to come back, tell the people standing in front of and behind you. Ask them to kindly hold you spot, and thank them when you return.

When touring the Expro

Don't touch or climb on exhibits. Visitors are allowed to take pictures and videos around the Expro, but when cameras are not welcome, don't turn yours on. If souvenirs are handed out, don't push and scream. Be polite and wait your turn.

When attending shows

If you are late, wait until the break to enter. It will disturb other audience if you walk in late.

It's very important to leave in the middle of a musical or stage play. If an early exit is necessary, you can leave after a scene is over.

Keep quiet during a performance. Before the performance starts, either turn off your mobile phone or set it silent mode. Never answer your phone while a performance is going on.

After an excellent performance, clap your hands warmly. Don't laugh at the performers when they make mistakes.

When having meals

Don't talk loudly at meals. With many hungry visitors waiting, don't stay too long at your table after you have finished. Politely move on to another place.
