A man found the cocoon(繭) of a butterfly, One day a small          appeared , He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it        to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any         . It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go         further.
So the man decided to        the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly came out      .  But it then had a swollen(腫脹的)body and small, shriveled (褶皺的)         .
The man          to watch the butterfly because he’d expected that , at any moment, the wings would enlarge to be able to          the body , which would contract (縮小) in time . So he waited patiently.
        happened! In fact, the butterfly         _the rest of its life crawling (爬行)around with a swollen body and shriveled wings , It was never able to         .What a shame!
The man, in his kindness and fast action, made a         . He did not understand that the suffering and the struggle         for the butterfly to get through the tiny hole were nature’s way of          fluid (體液) from the body of the butterfly into its wings          it would be ready for flight once it achieved its          from the cocoon.
  Sometimes struggles are         what we need in our lives. If nature allowed us to go through our lives          any difficulties , it would weaken or even disable us. We would not be as          as what we could have been . We could never fly !

In 1972, I returned to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama class. Afterward I asked the drama teacher       any of my English teachers are still there. Irene Roberts, he tells me, is in the class        down the hall.
  I was no one special in Miss Roberts’ class — just another student who did okay work. I don’t recall any one special bit of wisdom she passed on. Yet I cannot forget her        for language, for ideas and for her students. I        now, many years later, that she is the perfect example of a        teacher. I’d like to say something to her, I say, but I don’t want to        her from a class. Nonsense, he says, she’ll be        to see you.
  The drama teacher       Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18. “I’m Mark Medoff,” I tell her. “You were my 12th-grade English teacher in 1958.” She       her head to one side and looks at me, as if this angle might remember me in her       . And then, though armed with a message I want to        in many words, I can’t think up anything more memorable than this: “I want you to know,” I say, “you were        to me.”
  And there in the hallway, this lovely woman, now nearing        age, this teacher who doesn’t remember me, begins to weep; and she encircles me in her arms.
          this moment, I begin to sense that everything I will ever know, everything I will ever pass to my students, is an inseparable part of a legacy(遺產(chǎn)) of our ancestors.
  Irene Roberts holds me        in her arms and through her tears whispers        my cheek, “Thank you.” And then, with the briefest of looks into my forgotten face, she         back into her classroom,        to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my       .
On reflection, maybe those were,       , just the right words to say to Irene Roberts. Maybe they are the very words I would like to speak to all those teachers through my life, the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student: “I want you to know you were important to me.”

Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly that you would rather die than go?

“It’s a waste of time”, I said when my mom told I had to join Madcaps, and then when she said I had to      at a homeless shelter I thought this just could not be      .
We got there late, of course, and the security guard led us to the kitchen   we ran into 48 other fellow Madcaps members. Since I’m    so socially awkward(糟糕的) I had met only one person at a pool party, earlier this year. I looked around for her but she was not there. Damn, I was    ! When the man in charge came out and asked for 3 mothers to work outside the      to clean up the plates, my mom just happened to volunteer leaving me to      food with others.
Soon the    families started to walk in and a little girl walked up and pointed to the food I was    I gave her the cold sandwich, she nodded in a form of saying      , and then walked to join her family at the large table.
As she walked away I thought of how much I       I get to go the top schools. I have a great house and I have a warm meal every night. It    that little girl to make me realize how lucky I am. After that moment I had a change of    . Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting, I have       being socially awkward and now have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do      the required 20 hours of philanthropies.
I believe that if you have an    mind about things you can accomplish more and become a better rounded person. I believe sometimes you can make a difference just    doing one thing you don’t want to do .
