There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage（孤兒院）turned me into an old man．
I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.
After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the bushes scattered around the orphanage.
I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings，pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet．
How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes，all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head，face and hands so I could look at them up close.
When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement（水泥）step and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out．It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin．Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled.
I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on its wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back．But it would not stay on him.
【小題1】The author set the living butterfly free because_______.
| A．he liked it very much |
| B．he had sympathy for the beautiful butterfly |
| C．he couldn’t bear a butterfly dying in his favorite bushes |
| D．its wing broke off |
| A．dull and full of strict rules |
| B．simple and easy |
| C．happy and full of hope |
| D．hard and busy |
| A．tolerant | B．unconcerned | C．disgusted | D．discouraged |

| D．I thought it cruel to catch the butterfly. |

If you don’t prepare yourself now, retirement may be some of the most boring and dull years of your life. To have a happy, fulfilling retirement, you need to start preparing right away.
The most obvious thing for people to do when they retire is to take up a hobby. The most important step to take before retiring, though, is to make sure that you actually have started some hobbies. Once you’re retired, unless you ‘ve already started a hobby, you’ll find it very hard to get into something new. Some hobbies aren’t for everyone. Think about what you enjoy doing and start participating on a casual basis now.
Another thing many people participate in is volunteering. Not only does volunteering give you something to do, it also gives you a sense of accomplishment(成就) and can add meaning to your life .Volunteering is also rewarding in other ways, too. There are hundreds of different types of volunteer services and you’ll always be able to meet new and interesting people. Also, don’t think that volunteering is always only about helping someone for free. Many companies pay their volunteers after they’ve had enough experience and prove themselves to be valuable workers.
There are plenty of other potions, as well. Going back to school is a great way to keep yourself feeling young. Taking a vacation around the world with your loved ones is another great way to spend your retirement.
Ultimately, though, the key to a happy retirement is simply keeping yourself busy and doing whatever you love. If there’s nothing you love doing now, then you’ll find that once you have a vast amount of free time, your life will be pretty empty. Now is the time to find out what you want to do when you retire.
Why does the author suggest starting a hobby before retirement?
A. Because we are likely to have difficulty starting a hobby after retirement.
B. Because we are gong to have a vast amount of free time after retirement.
C. Because we will only have a limited choice of hobbies after retirement
D. Because not every one of us has already started some hobbies already.
What can we learn about volunteering from the text?
A. We can make devoted friends through volunteering.
B. It can help companies find hard-working workers.
C. One can even make some money by volunteering.
D. Almost everyone is willing to help in some way.
Which of the following can best explain “a happy retirement”?
A. Travelling around the world every year.
B. Going back to university for further study.
C. Having plenty of free time for one’s hobbies.
D. Living a busy life and doing what one enjoys doing
