Computers can help many workers. They can also help thieves.
There was one thief who worked in a bank of the United States. He paid for everything he needed by check (支票). Then he told the computer not to take any money from his account for the checks he wrote. The bank’s computer did what he said. And it did not take any money from his bank account. One day the computer broke down. People had to do the computer’s work. They soon found out what was happening.
Another thief, who worked for a bank saw people filling in deposit forms (存款单). Many of these people did not know their account numbers, so they wrote only their names on the forms. They left empty places for their account numbers. The thief wrote his own account number in this place. When the computer read these forms it looked only at the account numbers. It did not look at the customers’ names. It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief’s account .                           
Then there was the bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents off every customer’s account each month and put it into his own account.

Once, a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around, looking for its   41   piece. But because it was not complete, it could only roll (滚) very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine   42   the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but   43   of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on   44   for the lost piece. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit   45  . The circle put the piece into   46   . It could be whole with nothing lost. It was so happy and began to roll. As it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad   47   it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled very slowly.

         Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something. A man who   48   everything is poor in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something   49  . He will never know someone loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.

         We couldn’t be perfect. But we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share   50   with others and clever enough to know there is enough love  around us and then we can always have a wonderful time in our life.

One day, a boy found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small   31   in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make   32   body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.

    So the boy   33   to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be   34  .He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole   35  .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it   36  a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin   37  .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   38   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   39   out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be   40   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.
