Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question from question 39 to 45:
 Insects' lives are very short and they have many enemies, but they must survive long enough to breed and perpetuate their kind. The less insect-like they look, the better their chance of survival. To look "inedible" by resembling or imitating plants is a deception widely practiced by insects. Mammals rarely use this type of camouflage, but many fish and invertebrates do.
 The stick caterpillar is well named. It is hardly distinguishable from a brown or green twig. This caterpillar is quite common and can be found almost anywhere in North America. It is also called "measuring worm" or "inchworm." It walks by arching its body, than stretching out and grasping the branch with its front feet then looping its body again to bring the hind feet forward. When danger threatens, the stick caterpillar stretches its body away from the branch at an angle and remains rigid and still, like a twig, until the danger has passed.
 Walking sticks, or stick insects, do not have to assume a rigid, twig-like pose to find protection; they look like inedible twigs in any position. There are many kinds of walking sticks, ranging in size form the few inches of the North American variety to some tropical species that may be over a foot long. When at rest their front legs are stretched out. heightening their camouflage. Some of the tropical species are adorned with spines or ridges. imitating the thorny bushes or trees in which they live.
 Leaves also seem to be a favorite object for insects to imitate. Many butterflies can suddenly disappear from view by folding their wings and sitting quietly among the foliage that they resemble.
Câu 39: What is the main subject of the passage?
A. Caterpillars that live in trees	B. How some insects camouflage themselves
 C. The feeding habits of insects	D. Insects that are threatened with extinction
Câu 40: In lines I and 4, the word "enemies" refers to
A. extreme weather conditions	B. other creatures competing for space
C. creatures that eat insects	D. inedible insects
Câu 41: According to the passage, how does the stick caterpillar make itself look like a twig?
A. By changing the color of its skin	B. By holding its body stiff and motionless
C. By laying its body flat against a branch	D. By looping itself around a stick
Câu 42: Which of the following is true of stick insects?
A. They resemble their surroundings all the time.
B. They change color to make themselves in visible.
C. They are camouflaged only when walking.
D. They make themselves look like other insects.
Câu 43: Which of the following are NOT mentioned in the passage as objects that are imitated as a means of protection?
