I. This November a hundred million butterflies will drop from the sky over Mexico, like autumn leaves. But for how long? Genetically modified maize could mean extinction for this beautiful butterfly. Rafael Ruiz reports.
II. In November, millions of Monarchs fall like bright, golden rain onto the forests in the mountains of central Mexico. In the silence of these mountains you can hear a strange flapping of wings, as the Monarchs arrive at their destinations. 1)
III. Before reaching their journey’s end they have faced strong winds, rain and snowstorms and they do not all manage to reach their destination. When the winters are really bad, perhaps 70 per cent of them will not survive. Their long journey to Mexico is thought to be one of the most amazing events in the whole of the American continent. When they get there they will stay until the beginning of April, when their internal calendar tells them that it is time to go back. 2).
IV. These delicate creatures now face danger of another kind – from scientific progress.
3) . Laboratory experiments have shown that half of the butterflies which feed on the leaves of genetically modified maize die within 48 hours. Not all experts agree that this variety of maize is responsible for the threat to the Monarchs. In spite of these doubts, the European Union has refused to approve new crops of genetically modified maize until further investigations have been carried out.

A. In the US, millions of farms grow genetically modified maize which is pure poison for the butterfly.
B. In the mountains, which reach a height of 3,000 metres, the butterflies are safe.
C. According to the investigations of the European Union, the Monarch butterfly may disappear in several decades.
D. The long journey, with all its dangers, begins again. [3]

The main reason for visiting Russia is its unique culture and architecture;they are simply too great to miss seeing!  You are sure to find lots of entertainments and learn a different way of life. Russian cuisine is very diverse and delicious. However, you should remember that Moscow the capital of Russia is not cheap. Food, transport and services are more expensive there than anywhere else in the country.Russia is of course a lovely place to go to. It has so much to offer as far as world-famous museums, theatres and galleries are concerned. Tourists are usually impressed by numerous churches and cathedrals. There are good tourist factilities in Moscow, St Petesburg and some other large cities. And the metro in Moscow is efficient and rather cheap.However, Russia is not attractive to many tourists for a variety of reasons. Firstly, English is not spoken or understood except in the major cities. Without knowing the Russian language it is difficult to travel in Russia. Then, hotels and train accommodations are below European standards. And in Moscow and many other cities the traffic is heavy and you may stuck in a massive traffic jam.Russian winters are rather severe and if you can't stand cold you'd better not go there in winter time.To conclude Russia is deffinitely worth visiting, because it is one of the most important and influenrial countries in the world. Besides, Moscow is a wonderful city. All foreigners are greatly impressed with the city and its sights. And what is more,where else will you find such beautiful landscapes? The country lies in four climatic zones. There are many national parks in the country, mighty rivers, the deepest in the world lake Baikal and lots of other attractive places where you can relax and have a good time, meet hospitable people and be happy.
