“Sixteen,” I said. I have forgotten the math question my second-grade teacher, Joyce Cooper asked that day, but I will never forget my _1_ . As soon as the number left my mouth, the whole class started _2_ . I felt like the silliest person in the world.
Mrs. Cooper fixed them with a firm (嚴格的) look. Then she said: “We’re all here to _3_ .”
Another time, Mrs. Cooper asked us to write a _4_ about what we hoped to do with our lives. I wrote: “I want to be a _5_ like Mrs. Cooper.”
She wrote on my report, “You would make an outstanding(杰出的) teacher _6_ you are determined(堅定的) and you try hard.” I was to carry those _7_ in my heart for the next 27 years.
After I graduated from high school, I got married and had children.
We needed every penny just to get by. College – and teaching – was out of the question.
Then one day I thought of my _8_ of how I wanted to help children. I talked it over with my family and _9_ to attend college classes in the mornings before work. And when I got home from work, I would _10_ . Finally after seven years, my dream had been realized and I became a teacher.
Not long after I started _11_ , something happened that brought the _12_ rushing back to me. I had written a sentence with grammatical(語法的) mistakes on the blackboard. Then I asked students to come and _13_ the mistakes.
One girl got halfway through, became confused(迷亂的) and stopped. As the other children laughed, _14_ rolled down her face. I gave her a hug and told her to get a drink of water. Then, remembering Mrs. Cooper, I fixed _15_ of the class with a firm look. “We’re all here to learn,” I said.

I asked many classmates and friends, “What do you think you will be when you grow up?”   1 of them told me what they would like to be in the future,    2   others said, “I don’t know.” I’m    3   to hear that because I think it’s bad. I think having dreams or hopes about the future will help us do better at school.
As middle school students, it’s time for us to    4   what we want to be in the future. If we know it better, we will know    5   to do it better at school. For example, if you are outgoing and like to meet people, you can be a   6   in the future. Then you should practice   7  more articles. If you’re happy with children and like    8  , you can teach English as a job in the future. And then you are supposed to work harder at English. If you want to    9   many interesting places, you can be a tour guide.
Of course, all the    10   that we are learning at school will be useful in the future, so we should work hard at all of them.

One day, a boy found the cocoon(繭) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small ___31___ in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make ___32___ body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.

It had a weak body and small, thin ___37___  .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 boy acted with___38___  but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of ___39___  out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液體) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be___40___ to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze(擠壓) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.___41___ struggles are what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be ___42___ as we could have been and we would never fly.
In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even ___43___ growth, without it , there’s no way of life. We can’t avoid ___44___  or problems. So, next time you are ___45___ a problem or difficulty, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little----then fly!
