    I caught a cold． It was really a bad cold． Actually， the doctor later told me that I had the flu （流感）．

    My head was pounding． My throat was hurting． My body was aching．My voice became hoarse and I could hardly speak．I never experienced anything like this before．Worst of all， my sore throat was so serious that I couldn't even swallow（吞咽）!

    I knew I should drink more fluids﹣water， soup or juice ﹣ and maybe take some medicine． But I couldn't． Each time I tried to swallow， it hurt so much． So my dad took me to the hospital．

    A doctor came in．He checked my throat．He then checked my lungs．After his examination，he said，"Nothing to worry about． You have the flu．"

    "Why is it so serious？" I asked．"Can you give me some medicine so that I don't suffer as much？"

    "No，" the doctor said．"No medicine can cure （治愈） your flu． Don't be sad． Your body is an amazing thing． It will cure itself without any help．""What？ My body will fix things on its own？"I cried in disbelief．

    Yes， your body's immune system （免疫系统） will fight the virus （病毒） for you． No doctor or medicine will cure you．" repeated the doctor．

    My tears rushed out．I had not realized this in the past．Everything had always seemed so natural．I've had my meals every day for thirteen years． I drink water like taking a breath﹣without thinking about it at all．

    Now， I understand that even a simple thing like swallowing is like a miracle （奇迹）． The parts of my body do their jobs amazingly well一and yet quietly， without me even noticing．

    I don't remember how many days it took me to be well again， but I do remember what my father told me． He said that we should all appreciate our bodies and the miracle of how they are built．

    （2）　　．She said， "So， you failed a test． But do you know about another test that is even more important？"

    "What is it？" I looked at my mother， puzzled．

    "It is whether or not you can learn from your mistake，" my mom continued． "（3）　　．To me， that is more important than what you scored on a test．"

    （4）　　．

Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects （昆虫） and you will discover many unbelievable things． Consider butterflies， for example． They have beautiful， colorful wings，and strong，steady flying skills． On summer days， we see them flying gracefully over flower gardens and wild fields．

    But， do you know that butterflies live three separate lives before they become the flying insects we all know？ They begin their lives as one thing， change into another， and then another．

Finally， they change into beautiful flying insects． It's true． And it's one of the wonders of nature．

    In the beginning， there is an egg， it's usually small and colorful． A female butterfly lays an egg on a leaf of a plant． When you look at this tiny egg， it's hard to believe that in a few days， it will become something completely different．

    In time， it changes into a new life． No longer the small egg becomes a walking insect． This insect is called a caterpillar． It now has legs， eyes， a mouth and a large body． A new life has begun．

The caterpillar eats， and eats， and eats． It can walk． It can see．But it is still not a butterfly．Soon，after growing big， the caterpillar makes a cover for itself． It wraps （包裹） itself in this nice protective blanket and goes to sleep． This stage （阶段） of a butterfly's life is known as the "pupa" stage．

    What happens next is truly amazing!

    After a period of time， the blanket breaks and a wet， weak butterfly appears．It now has six legs，a mouth， eyes and wings． Soon， the wings fill with blood，and the beautiful，colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away．

    After a few weeks pass， this adult butterfly lays her eggs， and the cycle begins all over again．

    This is just one example of the wonders of nature． Look around the natural world， and you will learn many truly amazing things．
