So the boy decided to help the butterfly.He took a pair of scissors(剪刀) and cut the hole bigger.The butterfly came out 38 , but it looked a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin 39 . The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, it has to spend 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 40 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 getting out of the cocoon 41 the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be 42 to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze(挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never 43 the fluid and it can never fly.

We students enjoy our school life. But sometimes we feel unhappy. It’s every student’s bad dream: 1time. During the last three days of every term, we six exams.
Last week I finished my end-of-year exam. The exam to me was Maths. All of its questions were from earlier exams. So I finished it soon. The biology exam was hard. At first, I thought I would it. It asked about lots of things we never studied in class, though we could textbooks. And there wasn’t enough time to check every question. I guess at many of them. But my teacher said I did well in it.
In the Computer exam, we had a lot to do. I I needed more time, but some of my classmates didn’t think so. They just wrote down the answers and then played games. I didn’t think I could get a good score in the English exam. We had to an article about the books we had read in class.But I didn’t study English hard enough.
At our school, we can “test out（免修）”of some .That means students can study by themselves and then take the exam. If they pass, they don’t have to that class. I tested out of both Art and Health classes.
Studying for those exams was hard. Those classes would last for six months, but I had to review(复习） everything in three weeks. I’m so glad it’s all over. Now it’s the summer holiday and I can enjoy it.
