In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his shop to complete his daily routine.However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didnt have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch. One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch.

As planned, the shop-keeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch. Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time.

Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly（蝴蝶）, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back thanks to him. But years ago if youd told him this was what hed be doing someday, he would have laughed, “Youre crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man. “I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.” One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat（栖息地） for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue. “I saw the sign Butterfly Habitat and asked, How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?” Bonner recalls. “Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass（放大镜）, Look at the leaves. I could see all these caterpillars（蝴蝶的幼虫） on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, Without the plant, there are no butterflies.” Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then hes been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus (紫云英), the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat. The butterflys population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around. For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While hes bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.64.

Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. A Man Saved by ButterfliesB. A Promise to Mom C. A Story of Butterflies D. A Job Offered by Dr. MattoniDScience cant explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of getting well from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer. Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband or wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband or wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of others. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松) around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average,
