The relationship between humans, animals and plants.
Human, animals and plants are created to have a good relationship with each other to make a better and beautiful life. Without animals and plants, humans cannot eat anything and probably we cannot live anymore. Without humans, some animals and plants also cannot live for long time because no one takes care of them.
Therefore, we humans must protect animals and plants to grow up with us together. Currently, many animals are extinct because there are many reasons that make them live in short life such as being killed for people's collections or by stronger animals, pollution, natural disasters, the changes of weather. Therefore, many people are doing more work to help, take care, protect and prevent animals from being extinct.

Do you keep a pet What is it
How do you like it How do you interact([ nt r kt]v.互动) with it
I often interact with my little turtles. I am fond of decorating their small house by using various kinds of colorful stones and feeding food to them. I spend a lot of time playing with them and extremely enjoy their company. I think we are good friends. They can give me power and make me relaxed when I am under great pressure.

More facts about the migratory animals
The Siberian Cranes nest in western Siberia and migrate to India. Their plumage is pure white, except for some wing feathers, which are black. The eastern populations migrate during winter to China while the western population migrates in Iran, India and Nepal during winter.
Salmon migrate from the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean to the rivers where they are born every year. If calculated, the journey made by salmon can reach more than 1,000 kilometers. Many scientists say that the salmon migration is the heaviest migration in the animal kingdom.
Killer whales migrate up to 7,000 miles roundtrip. Their skin is often colored with a yellow algae (海藻). Scientists think they swim to warmer water to slough off dead skin cells. Even killer whales need a little spa treatment now and then.

Background knowledge about monarch butterfly
The monarch butterfly, which lives in America, is probably one of the most well-known butterflies on earth. It has a famous name "Monarch Butterfly". It is widely said that the dazzling orange wings of this butterfly reminded European colonists who first arrived in North America of the Prince of Orange (later King William III of England), hence the name "Monarch Butterfly".
生活在美洲地区的黑脉金斑蝶大概是地球上最广为人知的蝴蝶之一,它有一个响当当的名字 “帝王蝶”(monarch butterfly)。一个流传甚广的说法是,这种蝴蝶耀眼的橘黄色翅膀令初到北美大陆的欧洲殖民者想到了建立丰功伟业的奥兰治王子(Prince of Orange,也即后来的英格兰国王威廉三世),“帝王蝶” 因此得名。
Animal migration is the relatively long-distance movement of individual animals, usually on a seasonal basis. It is the most common form of migration in ecology. It is found in all major animal groups, including birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and crustaceans. The trigger for the migration may be local climate, local availability of food, the season of the year or for mating reasons. To be counted as a true migration, and not just a local dispersal or irruption, the movement of the animals should be an annual or seasonal occurrence, such as birds migrating south for the winter; wildebeest migrating annually for seasonal grazing;
动物迁徙是个体动物相对长距离的移动,通常是季节性的。这是生态学中最常见的迁移形式。它存在于所有主要的动物类群中,包括鸟类、哺乳动物、鱼类、爬行动物、两栖动物、昆虫和甲壳动物。引发迁徙的原因可能是当地的气候、当地的食物供应、一年中的季节或交配的原因。怎样才算作一次真正的迁徙,而不仅仅是局部的扩散或入侵?动物的迁徙应该是一年一度或季节性的,比如鸟类迁徙到南方过冬;为季节性食草每年迁徙的角马等;

The Monarch’s Journey
The first paragraph
1.Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This annual movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, seek a partner, or in search of warmer weather. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.

黑脉斑蝶的旅程
许多动物都会在每年的特定时间从一个地方迁移到另一个地方。这种一年一度的行为叫做“迁徙”。它们为了觅食、寻找伴侣或温暖的环境而迁徙。自然界中最壮观的迁徙之一是北美洲黑脉金斑蝶的迁徙。

2.Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4,000 kilometres south and find their way to California or Mexico. However, until recently no one knew how they did this.

3.A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information - the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky - allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.

The fourth paragraph
4.The solution to the mystery of the monarchs’ amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
The main idea of this paragraph
The monarch butterfly‘s trouble.
黑脉金斑蝶这一惊人能力的奥秘被揭晓时,这一生物正处于水深火热的生存状态中。其数量在近几年内减少了百分之九十之多。可悲的是,人类活动是黑脉金斑蝶数量下降的主要原因。在黑脉金斑蝶生存的许多地方,人们正破坏着那里的自然环境。他们砍伐树木,他们所用的化学制剂杀死了黑脉金斑蝶幼虫食用的植物。

5.The research on the monarch's behaviour has however led to a greater awareness of this creature. People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on. If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again. The more we know about this lovely creature, the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.
