But do you know how butterflies become flying insects? It's one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant.

It's hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It turns into a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see, but it is still not a butterfly.

Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes acover for itself. It covers itself in a protective blanket and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the "pupa (蛹)" stage.

After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.

After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look into the woods and mountains and see what you can find next.

In China, it's common for everyone to share dishes from the same plate. For example, at family dinners, using chopsticks to serve each other expresses warmth and closeness. However, in England, people usually have their own servings. It seems like each person has his or her own space.

The eating tools are also different. In China, chopsticks are mainly used, but in England, knives and forks are common. Seeing Mike having trouble with his chopsticks, Joe patiently taught him how to use them. He also started offering Mike food—a practice not common in England.

During the dinner, Mike rested his elbows (肘部) on the table while eating. But Joe told him it was not proper to do so in China. While in England, it might not be a strict rule and it's often left out. Also, in China, it's important not to eat too fast or too much at once. But in England, the way of eating can be different. Mike ate quite quickly, which made Joe notice the difference.

When they enjoyed their meal, Joe noticed Mike's confusion and explained Chinese table manners to him. In return, Mike shared the usual practices in England. Soon, Mike got used to it. Joe also tried his best to make Mike feel at home.

Before leaving, Mike secretly put an English card with the words "Thank you for your hospitality" into Joe's hand. The card also had a cute pair of chopsticks drawn in the corner. After the dinner, they realized that although there are differences in table manners, the most important thing is to understand each other's customs and cultures better. Mike was very happy about this dinner.

The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eye. He4 them up and put them into a glass jar patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The jar was5 soon. Then he talked to himself calmly and proudly, "Maybe I can't finish digging all the way, but look at what I have6 in the process of digging!"

The boy's goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to7 working! Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with success. Not every dream will8. However, when you can't achieve your goal, you can say, "Yes, but look at what I've found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I9 to do something!" It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected10 on the journey that really has meaning.

Ampan is 80 and lives in an organization called Elephants World. The organization's task is to rescue elephants. There live 35 elephants like Ampan. They were caught to perform before they were rescued. Now Elephants World provides these beautiful animals3 a comfortable sanctuary (庇护所). So for the rest of elephants' lives, they4 live a happy and peaceful life there.

Paul started playing the piano for elephants there from his fiftieth birthday. He wanted to bring a piano into the sanctuary and5 to the manager about it. However, carrying a heavy piano was not as easy as he thought. It took him almost two hours6 the piano deep into the sanctuary in the wild.

"These elephants have worked for humans all their lives. Some are blind or disabled. Seeing these elephants, I wanted to do7 for them" Paul said. "The elephants were so hungry that they were eating all the time. But I noticed a special thing whenever I played the piano—a blind elephant would always stop to listen, while8 in the sanctuary kept eating. And it continued eating only9 I finished playing the piano. I realized10 important thing. This blind elephant, even in a world of darkness, loved music."

Mr Green is a strange(奇怪的) teacher. When he gives a class, he doesn't look at his 1 — he only looks at his book. 

Mark doesn't 2 Mr Green's class because he always calls"Mark" to answer questions in class. 

One day, Mr Green says, "Now I have a 3 . Let's ask Mark to answer it. Mark, please. " He says it with his eyes on the 4 , not looking at Mark. But the question is too 5 . Mark doesn't know how to answer it. 

Mark thinks, "I am sure he doesn't know 6 is Mark. " So he says, "Mark is not here today. ""OK, " Mr Green says, "then let's have 7 give us the answer. "

"8 I am not Mark!" Mark says. "You only ask Mark to answer questions in class. "
