One day an old man went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) to eat in America for the first time. He sat down at an empty table and waited for 43 to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria 44 .
“Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and 45 what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”
“I soon learned that’s how everything works in the US,” the old man later told a friend. “ 46 is a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want 47 you are willing(自愿的) to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to 48 it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”
49 , life everywhere is like a cafeteria. Don’t wait for things to happen to you. Success lies in your own 50 .

Many years ago, when I was working as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Lisa. The poor little girl had a very serious disease(疾病)and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion(输血)from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗体)to fight the illness.
The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would like to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(迟疑) for a moment. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I’ll do it if it can save Lisa."
As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He looked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the color returned to his sister’s face, his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid. He looked up at the doctor and asked, "Will I start to die now?"
He was too young to understand the doctor. He thought he would have to give all his blood to his sister, but he agreed.

One day, a boy found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small ___16___in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make ___17___body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.
So the boy ___18___to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be ___19___. He took a pair of scissors(剪刀) and cut the hole ___20___.

The hard work of ___24___out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be ___25___to fly.
