One day a poor student walked in a town. He didn’t have anything to eat for several days and he was very hungry. But when he saw a man selling steamed bread (馒头 ), he let out a scream (大叫一声 ) and fell (倒 ) to the ground. When the man asked the student what was the matter, the student answered, “I don’t like steamed bread. Whenever (无论何时) Ｉsee them , I feel ill and can’t eat .”
The man then wanted to play a joke on the student. He put ten steamed bread in a room and then put the student in it. After a short time, the man opened the door of the room. H e was surprised to find that the student ate all the steamed bread. The student explained, “For some strange reason, I suddenly find that I like steamed bread.” 
The man was angry that the student had fooled ( ) him. He asked what other things he did not like to eat. “Oh, I like everything,” answered the student. “But at the moment I don’t like to drink two cups of good strong tea!”
【小题1】The student was very hungry because ___________.

One day, a man found the cocoon (茧) 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(液体) 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!
