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!

   When we talk about stars, especially women stars, it seems that they are always young, pretty and own charming body shapes. But recently a Britain's Got Talent（英国达人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely.
   Simon Cowell , one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle's voice. “This lady camp up, and I'm thinking, "This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea". That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserable. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face widway through –it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said.
   The performance was posted on line and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.
Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. “I mean, that's hardly a makeover," she added. Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents, “I was kind of slow at school, so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence.”

“Which meal do we all need most, breakfast, lunch or dinner?” Miss Baker asks. Boys and girls wave their hands in the air. They know the answer.“What do you think, Jim?” Miss Baker asks.“Dinner,” Jim answers.“Dinner is the big meal of the day,” says Miss Baker. “But I don't think we need it most.”Tom puts up his hands. “ Do we need lunch most?”“No,” says Miss Baker. “We need breakfast most.”“Why is this so?”“From night to morning is a long time to go without food,” says Ann.“That's right,” says Miss Baker. “We need food every morning. What may happen to us if we have no breakfast?”The students have many answers to give.“We may feel hungry.”“We may not feel like working.”“We may feel sick.”“Yes, you are right,” says Miss Baker. “Now let's talk about what makes a good breakfast. Give me your answers. I will write them on the blackboard.”
