• 2．Mom said the unforgettable words， "I have cancer，" and gave me a tight hug.I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.
     If adulthood is started in a moment，that was it.For all of my twenty-four years，my Mom had been strong and supportive.For a moment，I was the adult，and she was the child.And I promised her with a smile that I'd help her through anything.
     Shortly，Mom was given surgery and received chemo（化疗）.We knew chemo would take her hair，so before it fell out，Mom and I went wig shopping together.We tried on everything.Mom had been wearing the same short hair for over two decades.When she put on a shoulder-length wig，I held my breath and stared.Honestly，I didn't recognize my own mother.But then she smiled.
     I went with Mom to every chemo treatment.During the two-hour IV drips（静脉输液），she joked about life，medical issues and even the pain.We spoke on the phone almost daily.She rarely complained. "Cancer can take my hair，my health and my life.But it can't take my smile." she said.
     Mom was the most sociable patient the cancer center ever had.She made homemade noodles for the medical staff.She was grateful to the hands that tried to help her.
     One day when I went to visit her，I found Mom sitting at the table doing her crossword puzzle without her wig.She looked up and smiled.I'd never seen a stronger or more beautiful woman.Months later，after the final chemo treatment，we held a graduation ceremony for Mom.Mom did beat her cancer!
     Most of all，I saw a change in Mom.Nothing afterward seemed to worry her quite as much.From her，I learned I may not get to choose what I face，but I do get to choose how I face it.

• 3．Seeing a monarch butterfly used to be quite common in the US，but now it's another story.Their numbers are falling rapidly.In fact，their numbers have fallen by 90 percent in just 20 years.In California，in just one year，their numbers dropped 86 percent.
     These butterflies are amazing creatures.They are the only insect that migrates to a warmer climate.In fact，National Geographic says，"It's one of the greatest natural events on Earth." The butterflies that hatch in North America in the late summer will migrate the entire way to Mexico，a journey that is around 3，000 miles.
     Monarch butterflies are pollinators（授粉者）and help crops.But now they need our help，just like the bees.That's why I raise and set free monarch butterflies.However，10 years ago，I didn't know a single thing about butterflies.
     My husband has always collected monarch caterpillars to observe their changes.For Father's Day six years ago，I gifted him a box with painted lady butterflies.I didn't know much about butterflies at that time，but he showed me how to find monarch caterpillars and taught me about milkweed（马利筋）.That is when we began raising a handful，seven or eight，monarch butterflies a year.
     This year，I was determined to double that number.We saved all the milkweed that was growing around our house for the females to have plenty of options to lay their eggs and have food.Last year，I didn't find any monarch eggs until late August.This year，I started in the middle of July，and my intake is already over 200.
     A female monarch butterfly will lay up to 500 eggs，one single egg at a time.Of all those eggs laid，only one or two per 100 survive to complete the full change.
     These monarch butterflies are endangered，so I hope more people will join us.
  
  （1）What does the author mean by saying "now it's another story" in Paragraph 1？

  
  A．Monarch butterflies are hard to see in the US now.
  B．The author no longer lives in the country.
  C．Monarch butterflies now mainly live in California.
  D．The author no longer likes monarch butterflies now.
  （2）What makes monarch butterflies different from other insects？

  
  A．Spending a lot of time living in Mexico.
  B．Being only able to survive in a hot climate.
  C．Flying far to another place for a warmer environment.
  D．Hatching in the late summer instead of spring.
  （3）What can we learn about saving monarch butterflies？

  
  A．It's too costly to save monarch butterflies.
  B．Planting milkweed is very important.
  C．These butterflies like laying eggs on different plants.
  D．One doesn't need much knowledge to save these butterflies.
  （4）What's the author's purpose of writing the text？

  
  A．To show the importance of pollinators.
  B．To encourage people to help save monarch butterflies.
  C．To tell some basic facts about monarch butterflies.
  D．To explain why monarch butterflies are worth saving.
