　 The boy acted with 　23 but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. 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. If the butterfly never has to squeeze(挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really　 16 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could　 17　 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was 　18　 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my　 19　 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.

After my family moved back to Singapore, I 　 20　 going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 21　 with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we　 22　 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going　 23　 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a 　 24　 shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 　 25　 sign.

We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe,　 26　 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write　 27　 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.

Three weeks later, I arrived home and　 28　 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.

That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had　 29 the post office all these years. Today I　 30　 send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.
