A man found a cocoon of a moth. He took it home so that he could 31 the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small 32 appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to 33 the body through that little hole.

Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had 34 as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the 35 bit of the cocoon. The 36 then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven（无用的） wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and 37 to be able to support the 38, which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life 39 around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It was 40 able to fly.

What the man in his kindness 41 was that the small cocoon and the 42 of the moth to get through the 43 opening was a way to push fluid(液体)44 the body of moth45 its wings so that it would be ready to fly 46 it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and 47 would come only after the struggle. By taking the moth of a struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to 48 our lives without any difficulties, we would be disabled. We would not be as 49 as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for 50.

The Peppered Moth, a kind of insect, is found in England. It is light brown in color and likes to settle on trees which are also light brown. This makes the moth difficult to be seen and birds are less likely to notice and eat it.

But with the development of industry, smoke from factories began to reach the trees where the moth settled. It made the trees blacker. Then something very strange took place: in industrial areas, the Peppered Moth began to change color. It became darker as well. Although the change took several years, some scientists soon noticed that newly-born moths were a little darker than usual.

A scientist called Kettle Well decided to make a careful study of this. He marked some of the light moths and some of the darker ones, and set them free in the woods near Birmingham, an industrial city. Later he retarget as many the marked moths as possible ( The result was given in the chart ).

Kettle Well’s research was done in the early 1950s. Soon afterwards Britain introduced new laws to reduce smoke and factory pollution.

D. more dark moths were killed in industrial areas
