The British summer is beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this nice scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?

Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species (物种) found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining (衰弱) population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.

Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The Wall butterfly cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.

The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading.

Luckily, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Scientists believe the warm weather will be good news to the butterflies.

Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, “A great number of butterflies around us is a signal that all is well with nature. But when they decline, it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”

The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to focus on the UK’s butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help more and more people realize the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give a symbol of the well-being of nature and the environment.

Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died in 2011 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting cancer since 2004.

Even as a young man, Jobs was never one who followed the rules. He dropped out of college after only six months. He quit his first job to backpack around India. Jobs says that those early experiences made him creative. They opened up his mind and helped to create Apple’s “think different” spirit.

As a successful businessman, Steve’s passion and energy encouraged the world. He told us to “do what you love”. He believed “ People with passion can change the world for the better.” He made computers fun and interesting. His iPhone, iPad and iTouch are popular around the world. People say Jobs sells dreams, not products.

Jobs taught us how to face failure. He was fired by the successor he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn’t hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion.

Another valuable lesson he taught us was to listen to that voice in the back of your head – the voice that tells you if you’re on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that we’re going to work in finance or become a doctor because our parents tell us this is what we should do. But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.

As Barack Obama said, Steve was “brave enough to think differently, brave enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.”

1.How many years had Steve Jobs been fighting the disease?

A. For 56 years. B. For 24 years. C. For 12 years. D. For 7 years.

2.What did young Steve do?

A. He finished his college. B. His first job was to travel around India.

C. He created Apple after leaving school. D. He never followed the rules.

3.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. To do what your parents tell you. B. To work in finance or become a doctor.

C. To do what you should do. D. To follow your heart.

4.What can we learn from Steve Jobs?

A. If you want to succeed, try to drop out of the college.

B. Believe that working hard is more important.

C. Be brave enough to follow your heart.

D. What your parents tell you is always wrong.
