【正确答案】
1、正确答案:Lappet Butterfly At the foot of Emei Mountain, nearby Crouching Tiger Temple, there lives a kind of butterfly. Being one of the Emei Mountain"s most precious specialities, it is probably even more beautiful than the most beautiful butterflies in the world. When its two wings are closed, it looks like a withered leaf on the tree branch. No one will notice its existence, nor will have a look at it. Having got away from the flower clumps and stopped flying, with its markings and patterns folded, its powder and color hidden, it turns into a die-away, dried, withered yellow, rather than turning-yellow leaf, like dying embers. It camouflages in this way to protect itself. However, it still can not escape the fate of being captured, not merely because of its beauty but more because of its wilt and haggardness which are used to conceal its beauty. It takes this disguise as a protection for itself, without knowing that by doing this it makes people more likely to search and catch it. There is another creature—human being, who is smarter than this butterfly and specially adept at pretending and forging, thus no masquerading whatsoever can slide by under his nose. People catch them and make them into specimens that are sold as products priced higher and higher. Hardly have any lappet butterflies been found in the end, and the species is on the edge of extinction. Only by this time, the nation gives orders to forbid capturing lappet butterflies. But, it"s too late. The forbiddance even more boosts its price. Lappet butterflies are actually doomed to be extinct owing to this forbiddance. Now that we have a pair of beautiful and truthful wings, we will never be willing to close them. Having turned into a lappet butterfly, why should we camouflage and be sold out eventually? We are not as fortune as other butterflies flying all around with flashing and colorful wings who are captured but never run out of vitality. I"d like both sides of my wings to shine brightly. I wish everything in nature showed their truth.
