11．The crab is a living clock．It tells the time of the day by the colour of its skin，which is dark by day and pale by night．The crab's changing skin colour is a regular twenty-four hour cycle（周期）that follows the daily rhythm（循环）of the sun．
    Does the crab really keep time，or is its skin simply affected by the sun's rays（光线），changing colour with the amount of the sunlight？To find out the answer，scientists kept some crabs in a dark room for two months．Even without daylight the crabs'skin colour continued to change．
    The change probably had something with the rhythm of the sun，to help protect the crab from the sunlight and enemies．After millions of years it has become completely regular inside the living body of the crab．
    Scientists noticed that once each day the colour of the crab is especially dark，and that each day this appears about fifty minutes later than the day before．From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides（潮汐）．The crab's darkest period（一段时间）is the time of low tide on the beach where it is caught．

10．Have you ever complained why life is so tiring？Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you？Are your studies sometimes not successful？Well，friends，cheer up and smile all the time．If you see the world with your warm heart，you'll find that the whole world smiles to you．
    While in school，sometimes you are tired of your lessons，but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher's face when you did a good job？
    One day，it is fine．Just before you go out，it suddenly starts to rain．Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather．But dear friends，why don't you sit down and listen to the free concerts that nature offers you？And with the timely（及时地） rain，crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest．
    Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do，sometimes failure can't be avoided．I think failure is not terrible，and the terrible thing is that，we are afraid of it and give up hope．When we face failure，we must be confident in ourselves．As a popular saying goes，"Failure is the mother of success"．
    Attitude （态度） decides everything．Let's smile to whatever we meet and the whole world willsmile to us．
