when i was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage(孤儿院) turned me into an old man. i would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that i had become and then i would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory. after breakfast one saturday morning i returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the bushes scattered around the orphanage. i carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet. how cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. i had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so i could look at them up close. when the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement（水泥）step and went inside to answer the phone. i walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. it was still moving about so i reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out. it started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin. finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled. i picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and i spat on its wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back. but it would not stay on him. 56. the author set the living butterfly free because_. a. he liked it very much b. he had sympathy for the beautiful butterfly c. he couldnt bear a butterfly dying in his favorite bushes d. its wing broke off57. according to the passage, the authors life in the orphanage was_. a. dull and full of strict rules b. simple and easyc. happy and full of hope d. hard and busy58. what is the authors attitude towards the house parents pinning some butterflies on the cardboard? a. tolerant b. unconcerned c. disgusted d. discouraged 59. we know from the passage that_. a. the author lived alone in the dormitory b. there were one hundred butterflies living in the bushes c. the cardboard paper was left on the step so as to be watched d. the author failed to stick the worn wing onto the butterfly with his spit bi was born in brooklyn. my father was a small-business man and we never had much money. he supported the family, moved us to merrick on long island, when i was 11. he just recently died at age 96. he was still driving and playing golf right to the end. he was the only guy i knew who at age 90 could shoot under his age. i guess that taught me something about perseverance. i went to the university of michigan as an engineering student in 1960. i was standing outside the student union building when senator john f. kennedy made a campaign speech that essentially announced his plan for the peace corps. he talked about how students could provide service for the country. it was an important moment for me. after i graduated, i worked as a computer programmer for i.b.m. for two years. by then, the vietnam war was in full swing and the draft(征兵) had accelerated. i didnt agree with the war and was interested in finding alternatives. i.b.m. applied for a delay for me twice but the application failed. i went to work at m.i.t.s instrumentation labs on a project designed to create a rescue vehicle for lost submarines（潜水艇）. i thought this job would keep me out of the draft, but m.i.t. hadnt put in the proper paperwork and i got called in for my physical. the day before my physical, i broke my ankle playing tennis and, of course, my draft board didnt believe a word of it. i had to provide x-rays. i had tears in my eyes from the pain, but a smile on my face. i started john snow inc. in 1978 (dr. snow is considered the father of modern epidemiology because he traced the source of a cholera epidemic in the 1850s). we had a very clear vision of what we would be. it would not be about making the most money but having the most impact. my goal was to attract talented people who had that passion to focus on primary care, womens health, child health, and to do great work.i also run a nonprofit called world education, which focuses on literacy. what motivates me is going to the field, either in the united states or overseas, and seeing the people whose lives we affect. i didnt grow up rich but had the advantage of growing up in the united states and getting a good education. i couldnt have started j.s.i. in many other places. and i believe there is a duty to try and assist people who are struggling against tough situations. 60. what kept the author trying to achieve his goal? a. his fathers good health when he lived to be over 90. b. his poor family. c. his fathers keeping living an active life to the end. d. kennedys speech about his
