Adult butterflies will live about 2 to 4 weeks. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in an appropriate place, migrate, and avoid hungry enemies.Butterflies have large compound eyes(复眼), which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very nearsighted, so they are more attracted to a sea of flowers than individual plants. Butterflies do not “see” colors such as red, green, and yellow, but they can sense sunlight, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light（紫外线）, which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to 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 are located in their antennae（触角）, 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 appropriate 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（振动）.Butterflies may possess senses we don't even know about yet, because their body structure is very different from ours, and therefore difficult to understand, when observed through our own human senses.56. What can we learn from the 2nd paragraph?A. Butterflies have good eyesight.B. Butterflies can see in all directions and don't need to turn heads.C. Butterflies are sensitive to bright colors including red and yellow. D. Butterflies cannot sense the ultraviolet light. 57. How do butterflies hear sounds?A. Using their feet to sense the vibration of thingsB. Using their ears to listen directlyC. Using their wings to sense the sound vibrationsD. Using their antennae to judge the sound58. 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.59. What does the last paragraph imply?A. Theres a long way to understand butterflies wellB. Butterflies give great help to human beingsC. Butterflies are the most beautiful insects in the worldD. Butterflies possess more senses than humans60. The text mainly focuses on _.A. butterflies' living habits B. butterflies' beauty C. butterflies' daily activities D. butterflies' sensesBWhen I was ten my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Allen. I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (铲) money and my dad put up the other half I would pay him back over the next six months. Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult world.     I spent that summer and autumn riding happily. My sister Liz, a prisoner of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to keep up. Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms. This allowed me to shovel enough driveways (车道) to pay off my debt. I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.    On that Christmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable (便携式的) record player. I was excited. However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen. “We have one more gift for you.” he said as he opened the door that led to the garage. There, on the steps, stood a new ten-speed bicycle.     “Its not fair,” I complained. “I worked so hard for my bike and its not even new. Then Liz gets a new bike. She didnt have to do anything for it. ” My dad smiled. “She didnt have to do anything for it because its not really for her,” he said. What did that mean? I didnt want her bike. By spring Liz and I were riding all over town together now that she could keep up. As we grew, Liz and I became true friends. Still I wasnt smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later. That new bike was not a gift for Liz it was a gift for me. Hed given me the gift of my sisters company, the ability to stay together rather than drift apart (逐渐疏远) in the face of my ability to travel. He gave me my best friend. 61.

Why was the authors Christmas joy short-lived?  A. His sister got a new record player.    B. His father didnt care about him.   C. The record player wasnt new.    D. His sister got a better gift. 64.
