Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a wonderful old man who loved everything：animals, spiders, insects．．．
One day while walking through the woods, the nice old man found a cocoon（茧）of a butterfly．He took it home．A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole．Then it seemed to stop making any progress．It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther．Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon．
The butterfly then appeared easily．
But it had a swollen body and small, fragile wings．The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would be smaller in time．Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling （慢慢爬行）around with a swollen body and fragile wings．
It never was able to fly．
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the limited cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid （液体）from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon．
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life．If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles and difficulties, it would disable us．We would not be as strong as what we could have been．And we could never fly．
【小题】The butterfly could never fly because ________．
A．it was too fat and strong．
B．it loved crawling around．
C．it got out of the cocoon easily．
D．it didn’t get through the cocoon ．
【小题】The text is most likely to be found in a book about__________．
A．popular science B．humorous stories．
C．successful people D．philosophy events ．
【小题】What is the implied meaning of the passage?
A．Life without any obstacles and difficulties is perfect．
B．Obstacles and difficulties contribute to success．
C．Never help a butterfly to get out of the cocoon．
D．A butterfly can never fly without going through the cocoon．

Once upon a time, a man was walking on a mountain when he found an incredible cave with all kinds of treasure inside it. So he gave up his job, his home, and his friends, and spent all his time guarding the cave.
He was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.
He crawled into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror, that it was empty except for a small emerald (绿宝石). The man took it and gave it to the first person to come by, a woman.
Then an old man came by. “What bad luck!” the man said. “Just a moment ago I gave a woman the last of the treasure I was guarding.”
“Are you sure there is nothing left?” the old man asked.
The man took him into the cave, where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold. The man was shocked, and the old man explained to him, “At last! At last! At last someone has broken the spell of this cave. This is the Cave of Treasure, and you’re the first to have passed its great test. Many have dedicated their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there was nothing here …”
“And why does this happen?” the man asked.
“This magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts become empty, as does the cave. The only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving the woman that last jewel.”
From that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep. Thanks to the cave and the old man, he became noble and generous.
1.Why did the man give up his job, home and friends?
A. Because he possessed a variety of treasure.
B. Because he devoted himself to a great test.
C. Because he had to guard the treasure cave.
D. Because he wanted to find the treasure cave.
2. What did the man find when he showed his cave to the old man?
A. All kinds of treasure. B. A chest with jewels and gold.
C. A small emerald. D. A handful of jewels.
3.What do we learn about the people who dedicated their lives to the cave before?
A. They all found the cave empty at last.
B. The old man freed them from its spell.
C. They all filled the cave with the treasure they had.
D. They thought it was better to share than to enjoy the treasure alone.
4.What can we learn from the text?
A. Different people have different views.
B. Treasure only belongs to those who possess it.
C. Some people never learn what is really valuable.
D. Purely material things cannot make us truly wealthy.
