My mind told me I was on Mars as your mind tells you that you are upon Earth. You do not question the fact, nor did I.I found myself lying on a bed of yellow colored grass that covered the land for kilometers. The time was near the middle of the day and the sun was shining full upon me. It was warm. I decided to do a little exploring. Springing to my feet, I received my first Martian surprise. The effort to stand carried me into the Martian air to the height of about one meter. I landed softly upon the ground, however, without incident.I found that I must learn to walk all over again. My muscles were used to the gravity of Earth. Mars has less gravity. My attempts to walk resulted in jumps and hops, which took me into the air. I once landed on my face. I soon learned that it took much less effort for me to move on Mars than it did on Earth.Near me was a small, low wall. Carefully, I made my way to the wall and looked over. It was filled with eggs, some already broken open. Small, green creatures were in them. They looked at me with huge red eyes.As I watched the fiercelooking creatures, I failed to hear twenty fullgrown Martians coming from behind me. They had come without warning. As I turned, I saw them. One was coming at me with a huge spear, with its sharp tip pointed at my heart!36. It is obvious that this article is .A. an essay B. a drama C. a science fiction D. an autobiography37. We can infer from the passage that .A. the gravity of Mars is more than that of earthB. the author has actually arrived at MarsC. the way to move on Mars is different from on EarthD. the creatures on Mars look the same as human being38.

Which will be most probably described in the coming article?A. The authors new finding in Mars.B. What the fierce-looking creatures are.C. The authors adventure together with the Martians.D. How the author come back to Earth.BIf you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say, “Hey, Butterfly Man,” his face would break into a smile. 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 backthanks 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 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 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 astragals, 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.41. When he was young, Arthur Bonner .A. broke the law and ended up in prisonB
