Butterflies

Collecting butterflies is a hobby. Where can you see butterflies? Butterflies are living

insects. There are about 17.000 kinds of buerflies. They live in most parts of the world, even

as far north as the Arctic Circle.

Butterflies have many colours and sizes. One of the smallest, the dwarf blue of South Africahas a wing span of only 14 mm. The largest, the Queen Alexandria bird wing, has a wing span

of 28 cm.

All butterflies begin their lives as caterpillars which hatch from eggs. The caterpillars spend

their lives eating the plant they were hatched on. They change their skin several times as they

grow. When a caterpillar is fully grown it changes into chrysalis ( cocoon ) with a hard skin.

Inside this the chrysalis changes into an adult butterfly. When it is ready, the butterfly breaks

out and flies away to find a mate and lay eggs of its own.

Some butterflies migrate. They fly from one part of the world to another at certain times

of the year. One of the most famous migrating butterflies is the Monarch butterfly in North

America. In the summer it lives all over the United States, Canada and Alaska. In the autumn,

the butterflies gather together in groups. They fly south to Mexico, Florida and southern

California for the winter.

A) Answer the following questions:

1) How many kinds of living buerflies are there?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

2) How do buerflies begin their lives?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

3) What does a caterpillar do?

The Marathon is a very hard long - distance race of 42 – 19 km ( 26 miles 385 yards ). It

has been run in the Olympic Games since 1896. It was named aer a Greek soldier who ran

from the town of Marathon to Athens in 490 BC to bring news of a Greek Victory over the

Persians.

In 1908 there was a famous finish to the Olympic Marathon. At the end of the race a small

Italian, Dorando Pietri, staggered into the stadium in the lead. He collapsed twice in the last

100 meters and had to be helped over the finishing line. He was disqualified because of this,

but everyone remembers this as Dorando's Marathon.

The official distance for the Marathon is 26 miles 385 yards. The reason for this strange

distance is that Brish Olympic commiee decided in 1908 to start the race from the royalcastle of Windsor and finish in front of the royal box in the stadium in London. This was

measured 26 miles 385 yards, a distance that has remained standard ever since. The world

record me for men over the distance is 2 hours 4 minutes and 55 seconds set in the Berlin

Marathon by Paul Tergat on 28th September, 2003. The world record for women was set by

Paula Radcliff in London Marathon on 13th April, 2003 in 2 hours 15 minutes and 25 seconds.
