If 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(蝴蝶), once thought
to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back — thanks to him. But years
ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed,
“ You’re 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 hury 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 needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s
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 butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work,
Bonner and Dr. Mattoni receiced 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 he’s
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 prison
B. was fond of shooting and hurt his mom
C. often laughed at people on the streeets
D. often caught butterflies and took them home
42. 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 lab
43. From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has
_________.
A. made Bonner famous
C. brought Bonner wealth
B. changed Bonner’s life
D. enriched Bonner’s knowledge
44. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. A Promise to Mom
C. A Story of Butterflies
B. A Man Saved by Butterflies
D. A Job Offered by Dr. Mattoni
B
People who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage
are called aphasics(失语症患者). Such patients can be extremely good at something
else. From the changing expressions on speakers’ faces and the tones of their voices,
they can tell lies from truths.
Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing
power of aphasics. Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability
to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage.
Recently, scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics
was true. They studied a mixed group of people. Some were normal; others were aphasics.
It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing
false speeches — in most cases, the normal people were fooled by words, but the
aphasics were not.
Some years ago, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with
aphasics. He mentioned a particular case in a hospital. Some aphasics were watching
the president giving a speech on TV. Since the president had been an actor earlier,
making a good speech was no problem for him. He was trying to put his feelings into
every word of his speech.
But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients. They didn’t
seem to believe him. Instead, they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the
president did not mean a word of what he was saying. He was lying!
Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they
lack the ability to understand words. However, according to Dr. Sacks, they are more
gifted than normal people. Normal people may get carried away by words. Aphasics
seem to understand human expressions better, though they cannot understand words.
45. What is so surprsing about aphasics?
A. They can fool other people.
C. They can understand language better.
B. They can find out the hidden drugs.
D. They can tell whether people are
lying.
46. How did the scientists study aphasics?
A. By asking them to watch TV together.
B. By organizing them into acting
groups.
C. By comparing them with normal people.
D. By giving them chances to speak
on TV.
47. What do we learn from this text?
A. What ones says reflects how one feels.
B. Aphasics have richer feelings than others.
C. Normal people often tell lies in their speeches.
D. People poor at one thing can be good at another.

Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open
up lines of communication in a business, or even open people’s mind to another
culture or race.
People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in
them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety
of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool
in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand
themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.
“ Most local stories are based on a larger theme,” American storyteller
Opalanga Pugh says, “ Cinderella(灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child
protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the
world.”
Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures
and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoner too, helping them
knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and
act in their own lives. If they don’t like the story they are living, they can rewrite
the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers
and workers. “For every advance in business,” she says, “ there is a greater need
for communication.” Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the
manager-worker relationship, she says.
Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling
was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling
are found everywhere, she says.
“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says, “ What
I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their
own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell.
We tell everybody’s story.”
52. What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2?
A. They share the same way of storytelling.
B. They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.
C. They learn their stories from the American natives.
D. They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.
53. The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can _____.
A. start a new life
C. direct films
B. settle down in another place
D. become good actors
54. Pugh has practised storytelling with _____ groups of people.
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5
55. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Storytelling can influence the way people think.
B. Storytelling is vital to the growth of business.
C. Storytelling is the best way to educate children in school.
D. Storytelling helps people understand themselves and others.

I began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mother’s
idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start
young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were
there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several
hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy
black letters on the bag that said THESATURDAYEVENINGPOST. When it was suppertime,
I walked back home.
“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.
“ None.”
“ Where did you go?”
“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“ What did you do?”
“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a SaturdayEvening Post.”
“ You just stood there?”
“ Didn’t sell a single one.”
“ My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him
a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring
doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying
that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening
Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success
in the magazine business.
“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll
become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should
start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My
mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I
would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years
later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people
for true life and love.
56. Why did the boy start his job young?
A. He wanted to be famous in the future.
B. The job was quite easy for him.
C. His mother had high hopes for him.
D. The competiton for the job was fierce.
57. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was
_______.
A. excited
B. interested
C. ashamed
D. disappointed
58. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?
A. She forced him to continue.
C. She gave him some money.
B. She punished him.
D. She changed her plan.
59. What does the underlined phrase “this battle”(last paragraph) refer to?
A. The war between the boy’s parents.
B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.
C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.
D. The fight between the boy and his father.
60. What is the text mainly about?
A. The early life of a journalist.
B. The early success of a journalist.
C. The happy childhood of the writer.
D. The important role of the writer in his family.
