四、(2025·广州)阅读理解。〔人与社会——文学作品〕
It was going to be a long afternoon. Aunt Jen and Uncle Pete were visiting，which meant I had to play with Amy.
I was mixing salt with mud(泥)in the garden. Amy was dancing around like a butterfly. Maybe she could help prepare food for the butterflies.
“Okay，Amy，”I said. “You can help spread this salt on the mud. ”
She took the salt shaker. “Are you growing butterflies like plants，Simon?”
“Questions again!”I shook my head. This little girl had a lot to learn—just like me at her age，when my family started planting this butterfly garden. “Some butterflies need salt to stay healthy，”I explained. “Once，a butterfly sat right here on my arm，tasting my salty sweat. ”
“I want a butterfly to sit on me!”cried Amy. “I want to wear it like a flower!”
“Butterflies don't grow like flowers，”I said. “They fly wherever they like. ”
“Aww... make them come to me，”Amy said.
“They will. They love our garden's plants，with nice leaves and juice，and this...”I said，pointing to the salty mud.
“I don't like mud，”Amy said. “See，my new pink shoes are muddy—and pink's my favourite colour!”
I tried to distract her attention. “Do you know butterflies have favourite colours too?”
“Pink?”Amy asked，starting to smile again.
“They like purple better，and orange，”I explained，pointing to the nearby butterfly weed with dark orange flowers. “Look，a butterfly is drinking the juice of the flowers. ”
We stayed in the garden until sunset. Then I smelt bread and suggested，“Let's rest in the hammock(吊床).”
As we lay together，Amy noticed a butterfly leaving a flower and cried，“Simon，it's like a flying flower!”
