Question

One morning, my son, Chilly, found a carpenterworm(毛毛虫) unexpectedly and put it in a jar. Each day he couldn’t   36   to visit the little guest. Few weeks later we discovered it   37   in a cocoon (茧).

Chilly surely knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be   38  . He was   39   to know what gift nature was about to give him. Gradually we found it half transparent and we could   40   the wings of the unborn. Soon, a moth broke free, and then   41   eggs, completing its life cycle.

The next day, I   42   Chilly it was time to set it free. He took it   43   and opened the jar. It circled the yard twice, came back, and   44   on Chilly’s arm. He picked it up and threw it in the air. The moth repeated its    45   pattern. He tried over and over, but each time it would   46   to his arm so that Chilly had to give up.

 The next day he attempted to set it free again, and after a few repetitions the moth finally  47   into the grass.

Like a   48  , I believe the moth was afraid to   49   what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something    50  , scared to move on and experience something unknown.

I was once that little moth. My cocoon was my mother’s   51  , in which I was comfortable, and hated to fly too far away from it. I was   52   when my first job required me to move to a new city. Humans are creatures of   53  . We resist change. However, if I hadn’t moved, I would not have experienced many   54   and wonderful things or met many of my friends. So each move gave me the   55   to learn and experience, but best of all, I met friends.
