Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．
Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea．But I was about to find out．
After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．
Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and I returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．

Butterflies are some of the most fascinating and beautiful insects in the world. Adult butterflies will live about 2 to 4 weeks. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in an appropriate place, migrate, and avoid hungry enemies.
Butterflies have large compound eyes, which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very near?sighted, so they are more attracted to a sea of flowers than individual plants. Butterflies do not “see” colors such as red, green, and yellow, but they can sense sunlight, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light, which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to honey sources.
Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their nose, since they don't have one. Sense receptors are located in their antennae, feet, and many other parts of the body. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey food, and mates.
Butterflies' feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey, letting the butterflies know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find appropriate places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies feed their babies using a long tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.
Butterflies don't have ears. Instead they “hear” sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations.
Butterflies may possess senses we don't even know about yet, because their body structure is very different from ours, and therefore difficult to understand, when observed through our own human senses.
1.The text mainly focuses on ________.
A．butterflies' living habits B．butterflies' beauty
C．butterflies' senses D．butterflies' daily activities
2.What can we learn from the 2nd paragraph?
A．Butterflies can see in all directions and don't need to turn heads.
B．Butterflies have good eyesight.
C．Butterflies are sensitive to bright colors including red and yellow.
D．Butterflies cannot sense the ultraviolet light.
3.Why do female adult butterflies carefully choose the host plants?
A．To find high?qualified honey.
B．To have a good place for living.
C．To make it easier for them to hide from the enemies.
D．To find a proper place for their eggs.
