Butterflies(蝴蝶) are some of the most fascinating (迷人的) and beautiful insects in the world. Adult butterflies will live about two to four weeks. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in a proper place, migrate (遷移) and avoid hungry enemies.

Butterflies have large compound eyes (復眼), which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very near-sighted, so they are more attracted to many flowers. Butterflies do not “see” colors such as red, green and yellow, but they can sense sunlight, which shows the direction in which the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light (紫外線), which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to find honey sources.

Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their nose, since they don’t have one. Sense receptors (感受器) are in their antennae (觸角), feet and many other parts of the body. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey, food and mates.

Butterflies’ feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey, letting the butterflies know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find proper places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies feed their babies using a long tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.

Butterflies don’t have ears. Instead they “hear” sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations (振動).

Butterflies may possess senses we haven’t known about till today, because their body structure (結構) is very different and difficult to understand, when observed through our own human senses. （325 words）

A. Butterflies have good eyesight.

2.How do butterflies hear sounds?

A. Using their feet to sense the vibration of things

B. Using their ears to listen directly

3.Why do female adult butterflies carefully choose the host plants?

A. To find high-qualified honey.

B. To have a good place for living.

C. To make it easier for them to hide from the enemies.

D. To find a proper place for their eggs.

4.What does the last paragraph imply?

A. There’s a long way to understand butterflies well

B. Butterflies give great help to human beings

Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music.”

When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you!” and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!

The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue (提示) to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did---facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines (臺詞). But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” came to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”

Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do?

Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As for example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.

1.How many explanations are mentioned about the phrase “to face the music” in the passage?

A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.

2.What does the phrase “to face the music” really mean?

A．To face the stage.

B．To face the back of the horse.

C．To face one’s leader or father.

D．To face something far less pleasant.

3.Which of the following occasions is the one we may have to face the music?

A．When we are playing basketball in the playground.

B．When we are making a speech before a lot of people.

C．When we are having a party at ease with our teachers.

D．When we are talking with somebody in secret.

4.The underlined word “hostile” in the third paragraph means ______.

A.unfriendly B．dislike

C．unkind D．Unnecessary
