the title suits him.，and he loves it. arthur bonner works with the palos verdes blue butterfly, 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 worried 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, 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.21. when he was young, arthur bonner _. a. broke the law and ended up in prison b. was fond of shooting and hurt his mom c. often laughed at people on the streets d. often caught butterflies and took them home22. bonner came to know the palos verdes blue after he _. a. found the butterfly had died out b. won many prizes from his professor c. met dr. mattoni, a professor of biology d. collected butterflies and put them into a lab23. from the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has _. a. made bonner famous b. changed bonners life c. brought bonner wealth d. enriched bonners knowledgeb pierre is a 25-year-old penguin at the california academy of sciencesdue to his old age，he was going bald，which made him feel too cold to swim in the pooltherefore，biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool unlike marine(海生的) mammals，which have a layer of blubber(鲸脂) to keep them warm，penguins depend on their waterproof featherswithout them，pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water “he was cold：he would shake，”said pam schaller，a senior biologistschaller first tried a heat lamp to keep pierre warmthen she got another idea：if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold pacific，why not make one for pierre?schaller designed the suit，which covered pierres body and had small openings for his flippers“i would walk behind him and look at where there were any gapsand cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable”she said one concern was that the other penguins would reject pierre in his new suit，but in fact，they accepted his new lookhe swam freely and got along with others well，although he was the only penguin with a black stomach schaller couldnt say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed pierre to recover his fine feathers，but” certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable”pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back24pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because of_anot having a layer of blubber bhaving few feathers due to old agechaving no wetsuit dothers penguins rejecting him25the idea of making a wetsuit for pierre came from_.atotal invention

studys participantsvolunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnairesome of the results were expected：people with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing peoplehowever，some of the more specific results are strange enoughfor example，“practical and functional shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant people，while ankle boots were more linked with aggressive personalitiesthe strangest of all may be that those who wore uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalitiesand if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them，you may suffer from “attachment anxiety，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearancethere was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的)types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoesthe researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles

is poor. whenever i speak to chinese students, they always say, my spoken english is poor. 36 i would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken english. first, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 37 however，you can speak with alimited vocabulary if your attitude is positive. others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. 38 sometimes they make mistakes when they arespeaking because they are shy and nervous. yet students should remember that their goal in speaking shouldbe fluency not accuracy. you want to get your message across, to talk to someone in english, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter. 39 the third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. you have one mouth but two ears! all that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking. fourth, most chinese students are reactive(被动反应的) rather than proactive（积极行动的） language learners. instead ofactively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken english they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their english always remains poor. 40 a.thepersonyouarespeakingtowillunderstandyouandmakeallowances
