One day a man found a cocoon（茧）of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and  the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling（爬）around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.

The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid（流体）from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.

A．to take the butterfly home           B．to help the butterfly come out easily

C．to kill the butterfly                D．to stop the butterfly growing bigger

33．What do you think of the man?

A．patient but cruel   B．careful and wise   C．kind but unwise   D．brave and funny

34．What does the last paragraph（段落）tell us?

A．Struggles are sometimes necessary in our life

B．Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it

C．Every good deed will come back with a good result

D．The greatest happiness in the world is to help others

35．What is the best title for the story?

C．The lesson of the cocoon      D．The expectation for the butterfly

School is out for the summer in some areas, and for many children, that means weeks of sleeping in late, trips to the swimming pool or hours spent in front of the TV. These months of inactivity--- away from the daily tiring things of school--- are something that young people look forward to, but it can have a detrimental（不利的）influence on the knowledge they have.

Studies have shown that children lose a lot in math skills during the summer months. Children who spend little time learning experience a much greater amount of learning loss than those who often take part in summer programs.

So when school starts again in the fall, teachers often have to spend several weeks reteaching children material that they have forgotten.

Experts（专家）suggest that parents make sure the summer months are a time of continued learning. For example, they suggest that lunch time is good time to improve a child’s spoken skills, simply through conversation. A trip to the supermarket can be an opportunity to improve a child’s math skills by having him or her add up the cost of food. And there is no better way to prevent learning loss than by having a child read every day.

Fortunately, there are many programs that can help parents. The best place to start is at your local library. Most libraries have summer reading programs that are filled with fun activities. A. strong musical education also improves learning. Find out summer music camps in your area.

We think that children should have fun during the summer break, but it should not be a vacation from learning. We strongly suggest parents should take advantage of the many educational opportunities available for their children during the coming weeks.
