题目内容
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.
