How did we help to save our earth this week? Let me tell you.
First, my family tried to save electrcity (电). We never left the lights  36  when leaving the room. We  37  the TV when nobody was watching it. Mum only used cold water in the washing machine.
Second, we started recycling (回收) this week. We tried to write on  38  of our paper, no just on one side. We also divided our rubbish into  39  bags for bottles, paper and food. Mum kept the plastic shopping bags from the supermarket to use them again as rubbish bags.
Third, my family started to save  40 .We stopped  41  long baths and had short showers (淋浴)  42 . We washed toilet with used water. Mum and dad used less water to do the washing. My sister and I didn’t leave the tap (龙头) running when we brushed our teeth.
At last, mum and dad began to save gas (汽油). Mum used to  43  us to school, but now my sister and I started riding our bikes to school. It’s hard work  44  good exercise!                                                       
This week dad and a few of the people in his company also started to go to work in one car and share the  45 .  
These are great ways to help protect our environment.

One day, a boy found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small   36  in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make   37  body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped. So the boy   38  to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be   39 .He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole   40  .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it   41 a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin   42  .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   43  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   44  out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be   45  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.
  46   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  47   we could have been and we would never fly.
In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even  48   growth, without it , there’s no way of life. We can’t avoid   49  or problems. So, next time you are   50 a problem or difficulty, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little—then fly!
