【题目】 “Mom, I'm bored,” said Jason. “There is nothing to do.” “You can clean your room,” said Mom. “That's not fun.” It was only the second week of summer vacation. It was still too cold to go to the pool, and Jason was tired of watching TV. His friends were away on vacation, and even his dog, Riley, was being lazy.

Mom was getting ready to go downtown to the food kitchen to help out. She volunteered to serve lunch to people that weren't as lucky as Jason. “Why don't you come with me to the food kitchen and help out?” Mom asked. “I don't know anything about working at a food kitchen,” said Jason. “You just watch me, and then you will see how to serve the food.” said Mom.

It was time to go, and Jason was excited to try working in the food kitchen. He watched his mom put some turkey and mashed potatoes on a plate. She then passed the plate to the next lady, and she put some green beans and bread on the plate. “I can do that,” thought Jason. One of the volunteers left early, so Jason took over her spot in the serving line. He was in charge of(负责) putting salad on the plates. He served twenty-five people that day. “That was great!” said Jason. Jason was so excited and really enjoyed his day at the food kitchen. He couldn't wait to get home and tell his dad about how much fun he had. “Jason, that was a nice thing you did today. You helped many people who aren't as lucky as you to have a hot meal,” Mom said. “I am so proud of you!”

Jason went to bed that night thinking about the food kitchen. “I am going to help out again,” he thought. Jason made some new friends, and he didn't even know they lived so close to him in town! The best part was how good Jason felt inside.

【题目】阅读下面短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
C
If you were to walk up Arthur Bonner and say, "Hey, Butterfly Man." his face would break into a smile. The title suits him and he loves it.
Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blues butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back---thanks to him. However, years ago if you'd told him this was what he'd he doing someday, he would have laughed, "You're crazy." As a boy, he used to be "a little tough buy on the streets". At the age of thirteen, he was caught by police for stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.
"I knew it had hurt my mom," Bonner said after he got out of prison. "So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again."
One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called EI Segundo blue. He saw the sign "Butterfly Habitat" and asked, "How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?" Dr. Mattoni laughed and landed him a magnifying glass, "Look at the leaves. I could see all these caterpillars on the plant." Dr. Mattoni explained, " Without the plant, there are no butterflies."
Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he's been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and bring them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.
The butterfly's population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.
For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he's bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.
