21、s of Mexico.It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach Mexico. When it is warm, they start to back north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole trip.

22、ney all the way back up to Canada, says Sarina Jepsen, who directs the endangered species program for the Xerces Society.The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same trees in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before.However, the number
23、of these colorful butterflies has dropped in recent years.

According to ancient Chinese astronomy (天文学), the ziwei star was surrounded by 28 other stars, meaning it was
28、 the heart of the sky. People believed that the palace of the God Emperor, which is called ziweigong, or ziwei palace, was located on this star.

29、Thats how the Forbidden City got its name.In Chinese culture, many people believe that the color purple stands for good luck. This belief began with Laozi, the ancient philosopher(哲学家) and founder of Taoism(道教) who lived around 2,500 years ago. One day, when Laozi was traveling through the Hangu Pas
