One day, a man found the cocoon (繭) of a butterfly and he brought it home.
A few days later, the man saw a small hole in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it stopped.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a knife and cut a bigger hole in the cocoon. The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it had a weak body and small, thin wings. 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 man acted with kindness but he didn’t understand that he had done something wrong. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of getting out of the cocoon forces the fluid(液體) from the butterfly’s body into wings. It helps the butterfly be ready to fly. If the butterfly never has to force itself out of the cocoon, its wings never get the fluid and it can never fly.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly.
So, the next time you are faced with a challenge or a problem, remember the butterfly.
Struggle a little – then fly!
小題1:Why did the man cut a bigger hole in the cocoon?
A．To catch the butterfly easily.
B．To play with the butterfly.
C．To help the butterfly come out.
D．To make the butterfly stronger.
小題2:What happened after the butterfly got out of the cocoon?
A．It died soon.
B．It had a strong body and wings.
C．It could fly after a few days.
D．It couldn’t fly during the rest of its life.
小題3:Why couldn’t the butterfly fly?  Because ___________ .
A．it got out of its cocoon without struggle
B．nobody had taught it to fly
C．a(chǎn)ll newborn butterflies could not fly
D．the man broke its wings
小題4:What does the writer want to tell us?
A．Kindness in our lives can help us grow.
B．Try to be ready to help others.
C．Without other’s help we can still succeed.
D．Hard work leads to success.
小題5:Which is the best title for the passage?
A．The Old Man and the ButterflyB．Life Struggle

Choose the best answer (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢?
You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn’t turn it up too high.
Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.
It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
小題1:The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph Two probably means “_______”
A．the type of musicB．the amount of a sound
C．the length of a songD．the color of an MP3 player
小題2:No one wants to listen to _____________ from others’ MP3 players.
A．a(chǎn) loud soundB．sad storiesC．a(chǎn) long movieD．the words of a song
小題3:We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music ________.
A．is not enjoyableB．makes us tired
C．is bad for MP3 playersD．hurts our ears
小題4:If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, ______________________.
A．the theatre won’t allow it
