The Special Olympics

The Olympics are some of the most exciting sports events in the world. But there is another Olympics about which you may not have heard. This is the Special Olympics, for people with mental disabilities.

The first Special Olympic Games were held in Chicago in 1968. One thousand people competed in many events. Since then Special Olympic programs have been organized in all 50 states and more than 150 countries. Today more than a million people take part in the Special Olympics.

Mentally disabled persons over the age of eight may take part in the Special Olympics. These people may also have physical disabilities. People have run in races using crutches or walkers. A young girl enter the long jump event with an artificial leg. A blind runner raced around the track with the help of his coach's voice. A deaf basketball team planned their plays using sign language.

Winning is wonderful for people who may never have had much success. But training for and entering the Special Olympics is also important. The participants become more confident. They learn how to concentrate in order to play well. Then they use that concentration in school to improve their schoolwork. Like anyone else they feel great when they prove they can do something well.

Butterflies are some of the most beautiful insects in the world. However, what interests the scientists most is not their fascinating looks, but how they sense nature. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste to find food, lay eggs in good places and avoid hungry enemies.

Butterflies have large compound(复合的) eyes. No matter where the things are, they can see them without turning their heads. 1. They are more possible to notice a sea of flowers than a single plant. Butterflies do not "see” colors. They are color blind.　 2.The light on many flowers guides butterflies to honey.　　　

How do butterflies smell? Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their noses, since they don't have one. Sense organs (器官)are in their feet, and many other parts of the body.3.

Do butterflies use their mouths to taste the food they find? Not really. Butterflies' feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey. They let the butterflies know if there is something delicious. 4.They feed their babies using a long tube(管道)，and they get all their food from this tube as well.　　

Butterflies don't have ears. Instead, they “hear" sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations(震动).Butterflies' body is covered with sensory hairs. 5..For example, the hairs give butterflies information about the wind when they're flying. And where there is rain, the hairs can also tell butterflies.　

The scientists say that butterflies may have senses we don't even know about yet, because their body is very different from ours. Therefore, it is difficult to understand when we use our own human senses to study it.　　

A. Like most insects, butterflies are very nearsighted.　　

B. They can let butterflies feel the environment around.

C. So it is not difficult for butterflies to find flower honey.

D. But they can sense sunlight, which tells them the direction.

E. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey food.

F. Some female butterflies taste the plants carefully to find places to lay eggs.
