When I was young, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.

When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest.

Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories(理论) about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots（根） in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper（卷起的报纸）. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.

Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They’re very strong now.

I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.

The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could. 逆境和磨难似乎让他们受益,这种益处是舒适和安逸永远无法比

Scientists say cutting down trees is threatening one of Mexico’s most famous insects. Satellite (卫星) pictures show large wooded areas have been cleared from central Mexico. The forests are the winter home for millions of monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶). The butterflies travel there each year to reproduce (繁殖).

Each year, more than two hundred thousand people travel to Mexico to see the butterflies. From November to March, millions of butterflies can be seen in the trees and the sky. Mexican officials hope that by protecting the forests, they can increase (增加)the number of visitors.

These satellite pictures show the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve(黑脉金斑蝶生态保护区). About four hundred forty-five hectares (公顷) have been cleared illegally (非法地) since 2004. Scientists say that, if the clearing continues, monarch butterflies will not use the reserve as their winter home.

For thousands of years, the butterflies have been flying to the same forests. Their trip goes along Canada and the northeastern United States. It is about four thousand eight hundred kilometers. The insects fly about eighty kilometers a day. They reach central Mexico after about sixty days.

No one is sure why the brightly-colored orange and black butterflies choose these forests. However, some scientists believe the area might offer the right wetness（湿润） and cool weather to keep the insects alive through the winter.
