Question

四、 完形填空

One day,a boy found the cocoon (s) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few day^s later,the boy saw a small 1 in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make its body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.

So the boy decided to help the butterfly,thinking the butterfly might be grateful. He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole 2 . The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it 3 a little different. It had a weak body and small,thin 4 . The butterfly didn^ 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 5 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 getting out of the cocoon makes the fluid (液体) from the butterfly's body into its wing、It helps the butterfly be 6 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.

Sometimes 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 7 we could have been and we would never fly.

In our lives,pain and suffering is the key to all windows,and sometimes even 8 growth. Without it,there's no way of life. We can't avoid 9 or problems. So,next time you 10 a problem or difficulty,remember the butterfly. Struggle a little——then fly!
