I know some people who buy a newlaptop every year. The reason they do this is that the old one either is broken orhas some problems which cannot be fixed. Common problems are the breaking of thescreen ，the breakingof jointsof the laptop ，displayproblems ，and keyboard problems.Differentproblems willalways come up with machines ，and they cannot be avoided( 避免 ) Old machines will always have to be replaced by new ones.

Some other pests with differentcolors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they haveto hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the mainuse of coloringisto protectthemselves,bears,wolves and otherbeastsmove quietlythroughforests.They are usuallyinvisibletothe eyes of hunters,because theyhavethe color much like the barks(树皮 ) of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seascan send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid isover, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away.
