COMPREHENSION PASSAGE

Read the following passage and answer,the questions give below.

Butterflies are some of the most interesting insects on the planet Earth. There are more
than 17,000 different kinds of butterflies!
Butterflies go through four main stages of life. The first stage is the egg stage, followed
by the larva stage. As a larva, or caterpillar, the future butterfly eats as much as
possible. As it grows, it sheds its outer skin, or exoskeleton. This may happen four to
five times. After a few weeks, the caterpillar enters the next stage of its life, the cocoon
stage. ln the cocoon stage, the caterpillar will liquefy into a soup of living cells. Then, it
will reorganize into a butterfly, and the transition called metamorphosis is complete. ln
later parts of the cocoon stage, you can see the forming butterfly through the cocoon.
When the butterfly emerges from the cocoon, it pumps its wings to send blood through
them so that it can fly. Most butterflies only live a couple of weeks-just enough time
to drink flower nectar and to mate. Some,' like the monarch butterfly, however, may live
many months.
