阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
The world of animals is always full of surprises. No matter where you look, you can see some animals that can truly make our jaws drop.
Ghost mantis (螳螂) When people see ghost mantises for the first time, many of them would certainly say they are leaves. This small type of mantis can be found across Africa. They are very small and can grow only up to 2 inches long. They come in various colors: several shades of brown and greenish gray. In fact, most parts of their body

Green plant-hopper Also called the torpedo bug, this beautiful animal feeds on plants and looks like a leaf. When they are at rest, their green wings cover their bodies much like a sloping roof (有坡度的屋顶). They are usually small, with a length of half an inch. They are native to Australia but they can now be found in Hawaii and New Zealand as well.
Stick insect They actually look more like a eucalyptus twig (桉树枝). They have long and thin bodies but they can also fly. They can grow up to 12 inches long. These animals are natives of the southern part of Australia. They have made the woodlands of New South Wales and Victoria home.

A fully grown leafy sea dragon grows to about 18 inches long. They are usually found in the ocean waters of Australia. 21.

In early societies, people relied on a simple system of exchange. Perhaps a good hunter had more animal skins than he could use. His neighbor, a good fisherman, might have too many fish but needed furs to protect his children from the cold. Both soon realized that their problems could be easily solved by exchanging what they did not need for what they did need. This method of exchange is called barter. The word comes
