The Monarch Butterfly
This amazing butterfly is easily seen by its orange and black colors.
Unfortunately, one of the last areas of the monarch butterfly may soon be gone.
The place is in Pacific Grove, California. That town calls itself Butterfly
U.S.A.
In this town, there is a woman who has a wild garden where the
butterflies like to live. She wants to sell it to a building company that is
interested in building homes, but the city doesn't want her to do this, because
the butterflies will not have a home. Instead, people from the town would like
to make it a place just for butterflies, but they cannot do this because they
don't have money to pay for it.
Millions of butterflies have followed the same paths for thousands of
years. They start their trip in Mexico and return to California to leave their
eggs in the trees. They go to Pacific Grove to find the right temperature and
stay warm.
The monarch butterfly is the symbol of Pacific Grove. Many people come
to the city each year to see them. The money these visitors bring is very
important for the town. Some people say that more butterflies used to come; not
as many come now, so they think all of the new buildings will make the monarch
butterflies disappear from this area.

TELEVISION
Life is short! Who has time to waste? Not I. If you are really honest
with yourself you'll notice that you may be spending too much time on
television and there are better things you could be doing. Whether you watch
television or not is your decision. But consider this first.
Some people say TV is educational, but it is an ineffective medium for
learning. Though there is a great variety of programs and sometimes they are
interesting, many TV shows offer information that is not accurate. If you
really want to learn something, you should read it for yourself.
TV can help you keep informed and it is necessary to know what is
happening with people and places around you. However, if you watch the average
news program, you have to waste a long time on useless information. If you
really want to be up-to-date, read the newspaper; it is more detailed and you
can choose which stories you read.
The average adult spends about 2 hours a day watching TV. Let's say you
lived to age 60; you would have spent 5 years of your life in front of the
television. Not only could you be catching up with your family during that
time, since watching TV with them it is not real interaction, but you are also
preventing yourself from having new experiences. Do you know what you could do
with those extra years? Here's some advice: create some art, talk to people,
exercise, learn a foreign language or how to play an instrument.
Using those two hours a day for something you "don't have time
for," will make you have time for a lot more.
36. What is the author
trying to do with the text?
A. describe people who
spend hours in front of the screen
B. suggest that there are
better leisure activities than TV

D. explain why television
is important to keep up-to-date
37. What might a person
decide to do after reading this article?
A. try to become an
artist
B. keep informed by
watching TV
C. watch less television

learning
38. According to the
text, knowledge from TV
A. gives specific descriptions of events.
B. contains many things not worth learning.
C. is always useful for learning.
D. is limited since it does not have diverse topics.
39. In the text, "5
years" refers to the time that
A. someone takes to become addicted to TV.
B. TV needs to teach us something interesting.
C. an average person watches TV in a lifetime.

40. Which of the
following statements would the writer make?
A. One day I realized I
needed more contact with real people and situations than with television.
B. I believe true artists
should take advantage of television as a resource to learn and practice.
C. I must admit sometimes
I am so busy that I watch TV instead of reading the newspaper.
D. I can speak Italian
and cook French food thanks to TV shows I used to watch.
