12、his face would break into a smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming backthanks to him. But years ago if youd told him this was what hed be doing someday, he would have laughed,

13、“Youre crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police for stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.“I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “So I told myself I would not put my mom through

14、 that pain again.”One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat(栖息地) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.“I saw the sign Butterfly Habitat and asked, How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?” Bonner recalls. “Dr. Mattoni laughed and

15、 handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜), Look at the leaves. I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, Without the plant, there are no butterflies.”Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how

16、 he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then hes been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.The butterflys population,

17、 once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison.

21、de of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death?

22、e an answer.Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point.The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of-1.88°C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin

23、 to freeze until its temperature was lowered to-2.05°C. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really st

24、range thing made up of a protein never before seen in the blood of a fish. When itwas removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small

25、sugar molecules(分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.25. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?A. The seawater has a temper
