A man found a cocoon of a moth. He took it home so that he could    31   the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small    32   appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to    33   the body through that little hole.
Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had    34  as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the    35   bit of the cocoon. The    36   then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven(无用的) wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and    37   to be able to support the    38  , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life    39   around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It was    40   able to fly.
What the man in his kindness    41    was that the small cocoon and the    42   of the moth to get through the    43   opening was a way to push fluid(液体)   44   the body of moth  45   its wings so that it would be ready to fly    46   it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and  47   would come only after the struggle. By taking the moth of a struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to    48   our lives without any difficulties, we would be disabled. We would not be as    49   as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for    50  .

One morning, my son, Chilly, found a carpenterworm(毛毛虫) unexpectedly and put it in a jar. Each day he couldn’t   36   to visit the little guest. Few weeks later we discovered it   37   in a cocoon (茧).

Chilly surely knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be   38  . He was   39   to know what gift nature was about to give him. Gradually we found it half transparent and we could   40   the wings of the unborn. Soon, a moth broke free, and then   41   eggs, completing its life cycle.

The next day, I   42   Chilly it was time to set it free. He took it   43   and opened the jar. It circled the yard twice, came back, and   44   on Chilly’s arm. He picked it up and threw it in the air. The moth repeated its    45   pattern. He tried over and over, but each time it would   46   to his arm so that Chilly had to give up.

 The next day he attempted to set it free again, and after a few repetitions the moth finally  47   into the grass.

Like a   48  , I believe the moth was afraid to   49   what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something    50  , scared to move on and experience something unknown.

I was once that little moth. My cocoon was my mother’s   51  , in which I was comfortable, and hated to fly too far away from it. I was   52   when my first job required me to move to a new city. Humans are creatures of   53  . We resist change. However, if I hadn’t moved, I would not have experienced many   54   and wonderful things or met many of my friends. So each move gave me the   55   to learn and experience, but best of all, I met friends.
