I still remember my kindergarten(幼儿园)teacher, Mrs, White. She looked just like Snow White, 16 she had the same bright eyes and short dark hair.

Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about

3000miles to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it

fly so far

And why does it make this long and dangerous trip

Scientists still don’t have an answer.

For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.

The length of the butterflies find their way back to the same place

Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to

the same area in central Mexico.

How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place

This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代)makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly

that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.

Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍), and then dies. On the trip north,two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.

Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.

41.The best title of the passage can be ________.

A .Family of Monarch butterflies B. Mystery of Monarch butterflies

C .Monarch butterflies’ birthplace

D .Monarch butterflies’winter home

42.It took the scientist ______ to find out that monarch butterflies came from Canada.

A . 20 years B. four months C .five weeks

D .eight months

43.We know that the _____ generation of Monarch butterflies

travel back to central Mexico.

A .first B. second C .third

D .fourth

44.The underlined word “offspring” in the passage is closest in meaning to______.

A . seasons B. butterflies C .children

D .parents

45.Which statement is true according to the text?

A .Monarch butterflies spend winter in eastern Canada.

B .The four generations have the same length of life.

C .Some generations die on the way north to Canada.

D .Scientists are clear about everything of the butterflies

Ma Yun became one of the richest men in China when his company Alibaba went on the stock（股票)market last year with a value of around 140 billion-the largest public offering in history. Here are some stories about him on the way to success.

Ma made his first trip to the a US in 1995 and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for “beer”, he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for “China” and still

saw no results. He decided to set up a Chinese website--the seed for Alibaba was sown(播种).

Ma said he was refused many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination in China three times and few companies offered him jobs, including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.

It was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager because of limited resources. However, he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he kept it for nine years. Ma said that tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.

Ma’s hero is Forest Gump who never gives up. When he made a speech about his success at Davos(达沃斯论坛)in 2015,Ma said, “Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you are going to get.”

Many companies today hold meetings to discuss their new plans. As people are paying more attention to the environment problems, more companies are looking for ways to reduce their bad influence on the environment. Many of them achieve this by using web meeting.

Web meeting is a technology that allows people to communicate better over the Internet. It’s an easy way of hosting and attending a meeting. Participants(与会者) don’t have to leave the office. Each of them will receive an invitation with the meeting time and date on it. When the meeting is ready to begin, they must sit before their computers.

With web meeting, all participants can attend the meeting at

their own desks. They don’t need to drive a car to travel to and

from the meeting. As a result, no fuel（燃料) is used and less time

is taken up in attending a web meeting.

Materials for the meeting are simply e-mailed to all the participants before it begins. Then participants can just read them

on the screen. For the company, this not only saves the use of paper but also greatly reduces the mailing cost.

As a meeting hall is not used, the only power for a web meeting

is the power that is used by the computers. Besides, organized don’t have to pay for food or accommodation（住宿)for the participants. All this means that less energy is used.

In a word, web meeting is a cheaper, greener, and more friendly way of hosting and attending a meeting. Companies that hold web meetings are willing to work hard for a better environment. So they can more easily find their working partners who have the same green ideas. In return, they develop good relationship with other companies and improve their business.
