One morning, my son, Chilly, found a carpenterworm(毛毛虫) unexpectedly and put it in a jar. Each day he couldn’t   36   to visit the little guest. Few weeks later we discovered it   37   in a cocoon (茧).

Chilly surely knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be   38  . He was   39   to know what gift nature was about to give him. Gradually we found it half transparent and we could   40   the wings of the unborn. Soon, a moth broke free, and then   41   eggs, completing its life cycle.

The next day, I   42   Chilly it was time to set it free. He took it   43   and opened the jar. It circled the yard twice, came back, and   44   on Chilly’s arm. He picked it up and threw it in the air. The moth repeated its    45   pattern. He tried over and over, but each time it would   46   to his arm so that Chilly had to give up.

 The next day he attempted to set it free again, and after a few repetitions the moth finally  47   into the grass.

Like a   48  , I believe the moth was afraid to   49   what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something    50  , scared to move on and experience something unknown.

I was once that little moth. My cocoon was my mother’s   51  , in which I was comfortable, and hated to fly too far away from it. I was   52   when my first job required me to move to a new city. Humans are creatures of   53  . We resist change. However, if I hadn’t moved, I would not have experienced many   54   and wonderful things or met many of my friends. So each move gave me the   55   to learn and experience, but best of all, I met friends.

Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had ___36____ from just the two of us in a ___37____ into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just ___38___ our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you ___39___? Well, as Apple grew we ___40___ someone who I thought was very talented to ___41___ the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge (分歧) and ___42___ we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors ___43___with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. ___44___ had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating（毁灭性的）.
I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to ___45___ for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to ___46___ on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been ___47___, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn’t see it then, but it ___48___ that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the ___49___ of being a ___50____ again, less sure about everything. It freed me to ___51___ one of the most creative periods of my life.
I’m pretty sure __52___ of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was ___53___ tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Don’t lose ___54___. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t ___55___. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it.

I went to see film after supper. On my way to the cinema, I met an old English woman, she had lost her way. I gave up the chance to see the film, walking towards her and took her to her hotel. While go there, I told her great change had taken place in the past few years and she told me anything about Britain and her family. Though I missed the film, however I felt very happy, for I not only helped the old lady out from trouble but also practise my spoken English. If I hadn’t worked hard at English, I would have been able to help her.
