• 2．If you were to walk up to 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 blue butterfly，once thought to have died out.Today the butterfly is coming back - thanks to him.But years ago if you'd told him this was what he'd be doing someday，he would have laughed， "You're crazy." As a boy，he used to be "a little tough guy on the streets".At age thirteen，he was caught by police 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 El Segundo blue.
     "I saw the sign 'Butterfly Habitat 'and asked， 'How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just flyaway？'"Bonner recalls. "Dr.Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass（放大鏡）， 'Look at the leaves.' I could see all these caterpillars （蝴蝶的幼蟲(chóng)） 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 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 brings 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.

• 3．Is a college education worth the price？This is a question more Americans are asking as attending a four-year college in the United States can cost more than ＄40，000 a year.Many people with a college education are drowning in student debt.They had to borrow money to finance their education.
     A recent study found that someone with a 4-year college education earns two times as much as a high school graduate over a lifetime.And for nearly all study programs，an individual with a four-year bachelor's degree earns even more than someone with a two-year degree.
     Not all college majors have a guarantee of good wages.For example，a chemical engineer can expect to earn double the earnings of a social worker over a lifetime.On average，a finance graduate makes more than a nurse，while the nurse makes more than the teacher teaching children.Generally，college majors that require skills in mathematics have high lifetime earnings.Graduates in computer science，engineering，and physics have the highest wages.Graduates with bachelor's degrees in some fields earn even less than people with a 2-year associate's degrees over a lifetime.
     That information comes from the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution.The Hamilton Project also noted "Personal enjoyment，engaging in meaningful work，and filling a social need should also enter into a student's decision-making." The numbers are only averages and there are many exceptions.Most students have little knowledge of what their future earning will be when they choose a major.Study organizers hope the report will help students make better decisions about higher education.In their words， "College degrees may not be a guarantee of higher income，but they come closer than just about any other investment one can make."
  
  （1）Why do more Americans doubt the college education now？

  
  A．The job market becomes weaker and weaker.
  B．The student loan interest rates remain high.
  C．Many students hate to go to college.
  D．The college costs are too high.
  （2）A recent study in Paragraph 2 shows

  .
  A．a(chǎn) college education is worth the price
  B．a(chǎn) high school graduate has a low IQ
  C．the importance of high school education are often ignored
  D．people with college degree often have a permanent job
  （3）Who may have the lowest wages on average according to the text？

  
  A．A nurse.
  B．An elementary school teacher.
  C．An engineer.
  D．A bank clerk.
  （4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Future earnings shouldn't be the only reason for choosing a college major.
  B．Students should choose their college major according to their interests.
  C．Students' college major has nothing to do with their future career.
  D．The wages of people have nothing to do with their college majors.
