One day a man found a cocoon(繭) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.

The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(流體) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.

1.What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story ?

A.It was trying to make a cocoon for itself.

B.It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.

C.It was flying among the trees in the forest.

D.It was crawling around quietly on the ground.

2.The man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon

A.to take the butterfly home

B.to help the butterfly come out easily

C.to kill the butterfly

D.to stop the butterfly growing bigger

3.What do you think of the man?

A.Patient but cruel.

B.Careful and wise.

C.Kind but unwise.

D.Brave and funny.

4.What does the last paragraph(段落) tell us?

A.Struggles are sometimes necessary in our life.

B.Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it.

C.Every good deed will come back with good result.

D.The greatest happiness in the world is to help others.

5.What is the best title for the story?

A.The Love for the Cocoon.

B.The Joy of Helping Each Other.

C.The Lesson of the Cocoon.

D.The Expectation for the Butterfly.

Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Here is a story to tell you why.

One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch.  "What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors. "I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!" the boy answered excitedly.  The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.

The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass jar patiently.  Humming a song, he went on digging. The jar was full soon. Then he talked to himself calmly and proudly, "Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process of digging !"

The boy's goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working!

Not every goal will be achieved.  Not every job will end up with a success.  Not every dream will come true.  But when you can't achieve your goal, maybe you can say, "yes, but look what I've found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!" It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.

3.When did the boy find the stones?

A.Before he met the older boys.

B.When he wanted to give up digging.

C.After the older boys laughed at him.

D.As soon as he began to dig the hole.

4.What does the underlined sentence "It is in the digging that life is lived." mean according to the article?

A.Life is to make a big success.

In a school some trouble was caused by the students. They are very naughty and didn’t obey the school rules.They often fought with each other and they didn’t forgive each other. One day a new teacher came to this school. When he heard that, he came up with a good idea.

He told each of his students to bring a clear plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn’t want to forgive in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person’s name on it, and put it in the plastic bag.

Some of their bags were very heavy. They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus, and next to their desk at school. Days of carrying the bags around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. And they had to pay attention to it all the time so they didn’t forget it or leave it in embarrassing (令人難堪的) places. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt nasty.

Too often we think of tolerance as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred (仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives. After that, the students got on well with each other and didn’t fight anymore.
