On the eastern part of West Malaysia, there is a long sand beach. From June to August every year, giant turtles come to the beach to lay eggs. They appear only late at night to lay their eggs （产卵）in holes. They dig these holes with their hind flippers（鳍状肢）.

   When they have finished laying their eggs, they fill up the holes with sand and return to the sea. The mother turtles never see their babies. The hot sun keeps the eggs warm until they hatch（孵化）. Then the baby turtles will go back to the sea to begin their new lives. In the past, many people came to dig up the eggs after the mother turtles had left. They took the eggs to town to sell.

   Since 1962, the Malaysian government has built high fences around the sand beach to stop people from digging and selling the eggs, because people are afraid that there will be fewer and fewer turtles there.

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.

1.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

2.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

3.We know that the _____ generation of Monarch butterflies travel back to central Mexico.

A.first B. second

C.third D.fourth

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

A. seasons B. butterflies

C.children D.parents

5.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

Akuapem is in the eastern part of Ghana. The sun there shines all the time. The local people are very friendly and hospitable(好客的). Now let’s have a look at how Akuapem people receive a visitor.
A visitor is often welcomed warmly in a family of Akuapem. After the visitor is welcomed into the house, he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning, because the host assumes that the visitor must have come from a very long journey and need water. If there is a group of visitors, the host will greet the visitors from right to left. And the host shakes only with his right hand, because Akuapem people think the left hand is not clean.
Next, the visitor is asked how his journey was and why he has come. While the conversation is going on, the wife and the children, especially girls, are preparing food for the visitor. The visitor can choose his favorite food. After the visitor finishes eating, the host and the visitor go on with their conversation. Usually this is short one because the visitor is getting ready to say goodbye.
When the visitor is leaving, he is often given some food. He is also accompanied(陪伴) by one of the children to the nearest station. The child who accompanies the visitor will not come back home until the visitor leaves safely.
Whether he is a close friend or just a stranger, this is always how friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.
