One day，I saw some children trying to catch butterflies.This made me think of my own childhood.

When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina，we lived near a forest，and every evening mockingbirds(知更鳥) would come to the trees and sing.I was so interested in watching birds.I planned to catch a bird and keep her in a cage so that I could hear her sing at any time.

I finally caught one.On the second day，the bird's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth.The baby ate everything her mother brought her.I was glad to see this.The following morning when I went to see my mockingbird，I was surprised to find she was dead in the cage！How sad I was!

When Arthur Wayne，a famous ornithologist(鳥類學(xué)家)，visited my father，he heard my crying and told me，“If a mother mockingbird finds her young baby in a cage，she will bring poisonous(有毒的) food to the baby.She thinks that it is better for her child to die than to live in a cage.”

Since then，I never caught any animals and put them in a cage.All living animals have a right(權(quán)利) to live free.

The spring season brings warm weather, flowers and other changes for people to enjoy.For some restaurant cooks, the most exciting spring arrival is ramps.

Ramps are a wild plant in the eastern mountains of North America. They are one of the first plants that grow in the spring, usually between April and May. They are recognized(認(rèn)出) by their red stem(莖), and two long and wide green leaves. They are also famous for their strong taste, similar to onions(洋蔥).

Ramps are not as well-known as other vegetables, but they have a long history in the United States. In the Appalachian Mountains, ramps have been an important food for a longtime. During spring, it is common for small towns in the Appalachian area to hold large ramp dinners for the community.

However, over the last 30 years, ramps popularity has grown quickly. They are now a highly-desired vegetable for many nice restaurants in cities like New York and Washington D.C.

One reason the plant is popular is that it grows in the wild. It is difficult to grow them on farms. Most restaurants get them from foragers, who collect ramps by searching forests for some small pieces of land where they grow. Ramps have a short season. Within a few weeks of full growth, the plant is done for the year. This shot life is some reason for their popularity.

And that popularity could lead to their disappearance from Earth. In 1995, the local

Government in Quebee, Canada, stopped people selling the plant to businesses in order to protect the plant against being over-dug.

The season is short, but it has not ended yet. If you are in the right place, you still have time to try a taste of ramps yourself.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。
