The Monarch Butterfly

This amazing butterfly is easily seen by its orange and black colors. Unfortunately, one of the last areas of the
monarch butterfly may soon be gone. The place is in Pacific Grove, California. That town calls itself Butterfly
U.S.A.
In this town, there is a woman who has a wild garden where the butterflies like to live. She wants to sell it to
a building company that is interested in building homes, but the city doesn’t want her to do this, because the
butterflies will not have a home. Instead, people from the town would like to make it a place just for butterflies,
but they cannot do this because they don’t have money to pay for it.
Millions of butterflies have followed the same paths for thousands of years. They start their trip in Mexico and
return to California to leave their eggs in the trees. They go to Pacific Grove to find the right temperature and
stay warm.
The monarch butterfly is the symbol of Pacific Grove. Many people come to the city each year to see them. The money these visitors bring
is very important for the town. Some people say that more butterflies used to come; not as many come now, so they think all o f the new
buildings will make the monarch butterflies disappear from this area.

TELEVISION
Life is short! Who has time to waste? Not I. If you are really honest with yourself you’ll notice that
you may be spending too much time on television and there are better things you could be doing.
Whether you watch television or not is your decision. But consider this first.
Some people say TV is educational, but it is an ineffective medium for learning. Though there is
a great variety of programs and sometimes they are interesting, many TV shows offer information
that is not accurate. If you really want to learn something, you should read it for yourself.
TV can help you keep informed and it is necessary to know what is happening with people and places around you. However, if you
watch the average news program, you have to waste a long time on useless information. If you really want to be up-to-date, read
the newspaper; it is more detailed and you can choose which stories you read.
The average adult spends about 2 hours a day watching TV. Let’s say you lived to age 60; you would have spent 5 years of your
life in front of the television. Not only could you be catching up with your family during that time, since watching TV with them it is
not real interaction, but you are also preventing yourself from having new experiences. Do you know what you could do with those
extra years? Here’s some advice: create some art, talk to people, exercise, learn a foreign language or how to play an instrument.
Using those two hours a day for something you “don’t have time for,” will make you have time for a lot more.
