There’s a guy like me in every state and federal prison in America,I guess—I’m the guy who can get these for you:cigarettes,a bag of cigar,if you want that,a bottle of wine to celebrate your son or daughter’s high school graduation,or almost anything else...within reason,that is.It wasn’t always that way.
I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty,and I am one of the few people in the prison who is willing to admit what he did.I committed murder.I put a large insurance policy on my wife,who was three years older than 1 was,and then I fixed the brakes of the car her father had given us as a wedding present.It worked out exactly as I had planned,except I hadn’t planned on her stopping to pick up the neighbour woman and the woman’s son on the way down Castle Hill and into town.The brakes let go and the car crashed through the bushes,gathering speed.Bystanders said it must have been doing fifty or better when it hit the base of the Civil War statue in the town arid burst into flames.
I also hadn’t planned on getting caught,but caught 1 was.I got a pass into this place.My state has no death penalty(死刑),but I was tried for all three deaths and given three life sentences,to run one after the other.That fixed up any chance of parole(假释)I might have,for a long,long time.The judge called what I had done‘an extremely evil crime’, and it was ,but it is also in the past now.
Have I transformed myself,you ask ?I don’t know what that word means,at least as far as prisons and corrections go.I think it’s a politician’s word.It may have some other meaning,and it may be that 1 will have a chance to find out,but that is the future...
I was young,good—looking,and from the poor side of town.I met a pretty,headstrong girl who lived in one of the fine old houses on Carbine Street.She got pregnant later.Her father was agreeable to the marriage if 1 would take a job in the company he owned and ‘work my way up’.I found out that what he really had in mind was keeping me in his house and under his thumb,like a disagreeable pet that has not quite been housebroken and which may bite.Enough hate eventually piled up to cause me to do what I did.
?? Given a second chance 1 would not do it again,but I'm not sure that means I am transformed.

Monarch Butterfly (金斑蝶) Profile
![]()
Monarch butterflies are known for the unbelievable mass movement that brings millions of them to California and Mexico each winter. North American monarchs are the only butterflies that make such a massive journey-up to 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers). The butterflies must begin this journey each fall ahead of cold weather, which will kill them if they delay too long.
Monarch butterflies begin life as eggs and hatch as little worms that eat their eggshells and finally, eat the milky plants on which they were placed. When fat worms become juicy, colorful and hairy, they create a hard protective case around themselves as they enter the cocoon stage. They come out as beautifully colored, black-orange-and-white adults. The colorful pattern makes monarchs easy to identify, and the unique pattern warns their enemies that the insects are terribly tasting and poisonous.
Butterflies that come out from cocoon in late summer and early fall are different from those that do so during the longer days and warmer weather of summer. These monarchs are born to fly, and know that they must prepare for their long journey because of the changing Weather. However, only monarchs born in late summer or early fall make the move, and they make only one found trip. By the time next year's winter moving begins, several summer generations wilt have stayed and died. It will be last year's settlers' great grand children that make the trip. Yet somehow these new generations know the way, and follow the same routes their ancestors took-sometimes even returning to the same tree.
Many scientists are concerned about the eastern population of monarchs, which spend the summer east of the Rocky Mountains. This group is occurring in ever smaller numbers, and its survival now is threatened by a series of natural disasters in the Mexican winter grounds and by reduced milkweed plants in their summer home.
1.What will happen to the monarch butterflies if they don't leave in fall?
A.They can't survive the very low temperature, in winter
B.They can't keep their pattern colour in changeable weather
C.They will be blown down by the strong wind in winter
D.They will be separated from each other by the cold weather
2.Form the passage we can learn that Monarchs ____________.
A.feed on their own eggs instead of milky plants
B.experience three life stages before they can fly
C.are difficult to be picked out from other insects
D.are very delicious, though they are poisonous
3.Which of the following about Monarchs is TRUE?
A.Monarchs seem to know their ancestor's hometown
B.Only last year's settlers' grandchildren make the trip
C.All the summer generations will have stayed and died
D.Only monarchs born in early autumn make the move
4.The writer seems about the present survival situation of Monarchs.
A.confident B.worried C.disappointed D.hopeful
