Many years ago, when I was working as a volunteer at a hospital, l got to know a little girl named Lisa. The poor little girl had a very serious disease and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion(输血) from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗体) to fight the illness.

The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(迟疑) for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I'll do it if it can save Lisa."

As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He looked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the colour returned to his sister's face, his smile disappeared(消失) and he looked a little afraid. He looked up at the doctor and asked, "Will I start to die now?"

What is life's greatest gift? It is choice. Choice is the ability to choose some actions from a set of things to achieve a goal. 1. The reason is that it turns us from dumb animals into artists. Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesn't come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility.2. It is enjoyment.

Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices. 3. We often need to check where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what action will I take now to make myself realize my goals?

4.And our life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which store to shop at and which bus station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions, the more pleasure we will get.

Life is like a chess game.5. All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy the game. Make the best moves you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life.

A.Why is choice so great?

B.The pleasure is in the playing.

C.In fact, we have to make choices every day.

D.But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.

F.Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.

G.Do you enjoy making choices?

Many of us know that a beautiful and colourful butterfly comes from an ugly worm! Here is the story of a butterfly that was never able to live its life as a normal butterfly.

One day, a man saw a cocoon(蚕茧). He loved butterflies and had a craze for its wonderful colours. In fact, he spent a lot of time around butterflies. He knew how a butterfly would struggle(挣扎,奋斗) to turn into a beautiful one from an ugly caterpillar.

He saw the cocoon with a tiny opening. It meant that the butterfly was trying to make its way out to enjoy the world. He decided to watch how the butterfly would come out of the cocoon. He was watching the butterfly struggling to break the shell for several hours. He spent almost more than 10 hours with the cocoon and the butterfly. The butterfly had been struggling very hard for hours to come out through the tiny opening. Unfortunately, even after it continuously tried for several hours, there was no progress. It seemed that the butterfly had tried its best and could not give any more try.

The man, who had a passion and love for butterflies, decided to help the butterfly. He got a pair of scissors and tweaked the cocoon to make larger opening for the butterfly and removed the remaining cocoon. The butterfly came out without any struggle!

Unfortunately, the butterfly looked no longer beautiful and had a swollen body with small and withered(凋谢的) wings.

The man was happy that he had made the butterfly come out of the cocoon without any more struggles. He continued to watch the butterfly and was quite eager to see it fly with its beautiful wings. He thought that at any time, the butterfly might spread its wings, shrink(收缩) the body and the wings could support the body. Unfortunately, _____________ 91_______________

Instead, the butterfly just crawled around with withered wings and a huge body. It was never able to fly. Although the man did it with a good intention(意图), he did not know that only by going through struggles the butterfly can come out to be beautiful, with strong wings.

The continuous effort from the butterfly to come out of its cocoon would let the liquid stored in the body be turned into wings. Thus, the body would become lighter and smaller, and the wings would be beautiful and large.

If we don’t want to undergo any struggle, we won’t be able to fly! Life is difficult, but struggles make us shine!

1.Why was the man crazy about the butterflies?

2.The butterfly didn’t come out of the cocoon successfully by itself, did it?

______, ______________________________________________

3.How did the man help the butterfly?
