He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it stopped.So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a knife and cut a bigger hole in the cocoon. The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it had a weak body and small, thin wings. The butterfly didnt start to fly.In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.The man acted with kindness but he didnt understand that he had done something wrong. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of getting out of the cocoon forces the fluid(液体) from the butterflys body into wings. It helps the butterfly be ready to fly. If the butterfly never has to force itself out of the cocoon, its wings never get the fluid and it can never fly.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly.So, the next time you are faced with a challenge or a problem, remember the butterfly.Struggle a little then fly!（1）Why did the man cut a bigger hole in the cocoon?A .

You dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control your behavior, but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, youre a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You dont like to displease people. So you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy and you arent quite sure of yourself.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and youre always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment, but you dont raise your hopes too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up（蜷缩）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so youre often defensive. Youre shy and you dont normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. Youre easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a wellbalanced（平衡的） personality.
