There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when ! was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage(孤儿院) 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.

Step Back in Time

Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us?One hundred years
ago the average woman lived to be 45.But now,she can live until at least 80.
One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after ourselves better. We
know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make sure our bodies get all the healthy things
they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and what to do to get better again.And we know how impor-
tant it is to do lots of exercise to keep our hearts beating healthily.
But in order that we don't slip back into bad habits,let',have a look at what life was like 100 years
ago.
Families had between 15 and 20 children,although many babies didn'I live long. Children suffered
from lots of diseases,especially rickets（佝偻病）and scurvy（坏血病）,which are both caused by bad
diets.This is because many families were very poor and not able to feed their children well.
Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up,
bending over a piece of string,because there was no room for them to lie down.
People didn't have fridges until the 1920s.They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills（窗台
板）,blocks of ice,or even burying it in the garden.
Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their parents.if you had
lived 100 years ago,you might well be selling matchsticks（火柴杆）(a job done by many children) or
working with your dad by now.

On average women lived longer than men 100 years ago.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
