II. Decide whether the following statements are true or false and prove your answer by citing the article.

1. The researchers from California developed a method of camouflage that can be used only for textiles.

2. The newly developed stealth coating has perfect camouflage properties but cannot be dynamically tuned.

3. Squids and octopuses’s ability to change color is determined by a nanoscale mechanism.

4. Reflectin-based films have the reflectance within the wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum including the infrared region.

5. The novelty of the research presented in the article lies in the ability of the researchers to develop camouflage films that function within the infrared range.

III. Make up a plan of the article and give it to your partner. He or she should retell the article according to your plan. Then switch the roles.

IV. Work in pairs. One of you is a marine biologist; the other is a developer of stealth coatings. Make up a dialogue where you touch the issue of cephalopods’ color-changing process.
