One day, a boy found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small   41  in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make   42  body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.

So the boy   43  to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be   44 .He took a pair of scissors(剪刀) and cut the hole   45 .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it  46 

a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin   47 .The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.

The boy acted with   48  but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of  49  out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be  50  to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze(挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.

  51  struggles are what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be  52  we could have been and we would never fly.

In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even   53  growth, without it , there’s no way of life. We can’t avoid   54   or problems. So, next time you are   55 a problem or difficulty, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little—then fly!

I want to tell you a story about myself at the airport. I wanted to fly to France with my family on vacation. Before we took the plane, we had to go through the metal detector (金属探测仪) at the airport. When I walked through it, the alarm rang.

“Come here, young man.” said the guard at the airport. “Take everything out of your pockets. ” So I took my wallet out and put it on the table. Then I walked through the metal detector again. This time, the alarm didn’t ring. My mother said that maybe there was something made of metal in my wallet, but I didn’t think so. Anyway, we got on the plane successfully and flew to France. The trip was great and I had a good time there.

When we went to the airport in France to fly home, I got into trouble again. When I went through the metal detector, the alarm rang again. I was surprised, so I asked the guard about it. “Let me see what’s in your wallet,” said the guard. So I took out everything out of my wallet. “This one is made of metal,” said the guard, pointing at the pen I bought last week.
