维B1

Katharine Mehta's mother likes to joke that the first sentence her daughter said was “I love dogs.” It's not the fact，but it's certainly true in spirit.

“When I was young，my grandmother told me about how she sometimes found stray dogs and cats，and kept them on her farm as pets，” says Katharine.“That made me wonder what would happen when animals didn't have a home.I felt horrible thinking that they might be hungry or could get hit by a car.”

But what could a little girl do? The answer came during a trip to a park in her New York City neighborhood two years ago，where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts，a local no?kill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，” she says.

Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog，she decided to start a summer dog?walking service.She chose two friends and，with their parents' permission，the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out，” she says.“By the end of that summer，we'd collected $45.” That fall Katharine and her mother，Loma，came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling fresh?baked shortbread to their neighbors.

The 11?year?old，who starts sixth grade this fall，has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog，she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”

Katharine's passion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group that can find new homes for them，” Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.”

Notes：

stray adj.流浪的　②shortbread n.黄油甜酥饼

A.to be supplied with a comfortable place for sleeping

B.to be given drugs so that they can die without pain

We're fortunate to live along a monarch butterfly migration path.Every fall，thousands of them fly through our backyard，headed south for the winter.We always thought that a butterfly with a broken wing was a sad sight，but one we could do nothing about.We were wrong! Jeannette Brandt was bike riding near Hadley，in the southern Adirondacks of New York，a few weeks ago when she spotted an injured monarch butterfly and took it home in an empty water bottle.Brandt and her partner，Mike Parwana，fed the butterfly rotting pears and water sweetened with honey.The butterfly survived，and fattened up.But what to do about the broken wing?

The couple found an online video demonstrating butterfly wing repair which was posted by the nonprofit Live Monarch Foundation of Boca Raton，Florida.Tiny cardboard splints and contact cement did the trick.In another week，the butterfly was flying at the couple's home.But by then，it was too cold in upstate New York to release the monarch into the wild.Monarchs are known for their 3,000 miles migration from Canada to Mexico.But this migration is usually finished by the end of October，and it was mid?November.

About a week ago，the couple put the monarch in a shoebox and went to Scotty's，a truck stop north of Albany，NY.Eventually，a good?natured trucker from Alabama，who was headed to Florida，volunteered to transport the monarch to the Sunshine State.Last Tuesday，the trucker called.The butterfly with the mended wing had been released in Florida，now free to join millions of other monarch butterflies migrating south to the mountains of central Mexico.
