A.回答问题
When autumn arrives in the United States and Canada,you can see one of nature’s greatest scenes—the yearly migration(迁徙) of the monarch butterflies(帝王蝶).
No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarch of North America.They cannot live for long periods in cold weather.So each autumn around October,the butterflies travel up to 3,000 kilometers south to spend winter.Some even fly to the mountains of Mexico.
It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach Mexico.When it is warm,they start to back north in the spring.“But not one butterfly finishes the whole trip.They lay eggs along the way and die.It might take the monarchs as many as four to five generations(代) to complete the journey all the way back up to Canada,” says Sarina Jepsen,who directs the endangered species program for the Xerces Society.
The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same trees in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before.
However,the number of these colorful butterflies has dropped in recent years.The US Fish and Wildlife Service said that nearly a billion monarchs have disappeared from overwintering sites(越冬地点) since 1990,the Washington Post reported.One of the main reasons,experts say,is that farmers have used herbicides(除草剂) on the milkweed(马利筋) plants that these butterflies feed on.
1.What color are the monarch butterflies
Orange and black.
2.How long does it take the monarch butterflies to reach Mexico
Two/2 months.
3.What is the most amazing thing about the monarch butterflies
They can return to the same trees (that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before).
4.What happened to these colorful butterflies in recent years
The number of them has dropped.
5.How many monarchs have disappeared since 1990
Nearly a billion.

Why Should We Protect Wild Animals
Do you know of any endangered animals Why are they in danger I think there are many endangered animals in the world,such as tigers and pandas.When people cut down trees,tigers can no longer hide and hunt.Many tigers are killed by people who want to sell their fur for money.And there are few places where pandas can live.
We are not alone in the world.We human beings could not live without all the plants and animals around us.So protecting wild animals is very important.
We must take measures to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed.If each of us can plant a tree or build a birdhouse,the world will be more beautiful.
