(A)
It was going to be a long afternoon.Aunt Jen and Uncle Pete were visiting,which meant I
had to play with Amy.
I was mixing salt with mud ()in the garden.Amy was dancing around like a butterfly.
Maybe she could help prepare food for the butterflies.
“Okay,Amy,”I said.“You can help spread this salt on the mud.”
She took the salt shaker."Are you growing butterflies like plants,Simon?"
"Questions again!"I shook my head.This little girl had a lot to learn-just like me at her
age,when my family started planting this butterfly garden."Some butterflies need salt to stay
healthy,"I explained."Once,a butterfly sat right here on my arm,tasting my salty sweat."
"I want a butterfly to sit on me!"cried Amy."I want to wear it like a flower!"
"Butterflies don't grow like flowers,"I said."They fly wherever they like."
“Aww.make them come to me,”Amy said
"They will.They love our garden's plants,with nice leaves and juice,and this..."I said,
pointing to the salty mud.
"I don't like mud,"Amy said."See,my new pink shoes are muddy-and pink's my
favorite color!"
I tried to distract her attention."Do you know butterflies have favorite colors too?"
“Pink?”Amy asked,,starting to smile again.
"They like purple better,and orange,"I explained,pointing to the nearby butterfly weed
with dark orange flowers."Look,a butterfly is drinking the juice of the flowers."

I kept talking so she wouldn't try to catch it."Butterfly weed is
a perfect host plant.Butterflies lay eggs here,which become
caterpillars,then chrysalises,and finally beautiful butterflies..."
As I spoke,Amy saw a big bee.“shoo!No bees allowed!”she
cried.
"Hey,it's okay.Butterflies and bees both work for flowers,"I
told her.
“Butterflies work?”she asked,
“Yes,listen.”
We stayed in the garden until sunset.Then I smelt bread and suggested,"Let's rest in the
hammock.”
As we lay together,Amy noticed a butterfly leaving a flower and
cried,"Simon,it's like a flying flower!"
That made me smile.We swung gently back and forth,happy just
to watch all the flowers-the ones that fly and those that don't-until
Mom called us in to dinner.

When I was young,my father took me outside to see the stars.Once we saw a comet ()
It was the first comet I'd seen but wasn't the last.
My name is Caroline Herschel.I was born in Hanover,Germany in 1750.When I was 22,
I moved to England to stay with my older brother,William.He was a musician and he offered
me singing lessons.I helped him with housework in return.I practiced hard and soon started
singing at his concerts.
Life changed when William became interested in astronomy.He read
about space late into the night.Breakfast often turned into a lesson about stars.
I learned a lot from him.And we even started working together on a big
project:building telescopes-the special tools for seeing faraway things.
To make the perfect mirrors for our telescopes,we heated metals and shaped them using
special molds().These molds were made from strange things,like dry horse waste.I had
to break it into small bits.It was dirty work,but I didn't mind.Someone had to do it.
Making the mirrors smooth was very difficult.William invented a machine to help,but he
still had to work without stopping for hours once he began.He couldn't even stop to eat,so I
fed him and read stories to keep him happy and relaxed.

one more night and discovered it was real.Now everyone is talking about my comet.They call
it the Lady's Comet.
This is the first comet I've ever discovered,but I don't think it will be the last.
Historical Note:After Caroline discovered her first comet,King George paid her to be

(D)
Libraries around the world still keep old books hundreds of years old.But will we be able
to read today's digital (books in hundreds of years?Librarians are worried.Even now,
we can't open some files (from 20 or 25 years ago.Will our digital works be lost in a
digital black hole?Will we face the loss of valuable information?
Technology is changing fast.Old ways of keeping information are gone now,or they are
no longer supported by new technology.For example,many people used floppy discs()to
save files years ago,but today few machines can open them.Also,millions of songs and music
pieces were saved on tapes or CDs,but now most old music players no longer work.Another
problem is that websites often change or close down,and all the information on them can fall
into the digital black hole.
Books,however,are quite easy to keep.We don't need special tools or technology to read
them.If you keep them in a dry and safe place,they will stay safe for a long time.Li Shizhen's
great medical book Ben Cao Gang Mu came out in 1593.Amazingly,three copies from the first
printing still survive today.That's not bad for a book more than 400 years old.
Today,to some researchers,printed books remain a safe way to keep information.In 2014,
a professional group began to raise money to print a famous online encyclopedia into 1,000
books.This would make sure that even if digital technology fails,the knowledge can still be
kept.
For now,when it comes to storing information,printed copies seem to be the safest choice.
However,future technology might develop and provide new ways to solve the problem of
digital black hole.Time will tell.
