About three days later，the insects began to fly.One little boy，who had been watching carefully each day，saw this and announced in a（n）（14） 　 　voice，"They are flying!"

A young boy had many bad habits.His father was so（1） 　 　.He asked an old teacher for help.The teacher took the boy for a walk in the woods.While walking，he suddenly stopped and told the boy to pull out a small plant.

The boy held the plant and pulled it out （2） 　 　.The old man then asked him to pull out a little bigger one.The boy （3） 　 　hard and the plant came out，roots（根） and all. "Now pull that one out. "said the old man，looking at a small tree.The boy had to use all his strength（力） to pull the （4） 　 　out. "Now pull this one out. "said the old man， （5） 　 　a big tree.The boy held the trunk（树干）and tried to pull it out.But it didn't move at all. "It's （6） 　 　. "said the boy，out of breath.

"So they （7） 　 　bad habits， "said the teacher， "When they are small，it is easy （8） 　 　them out；but when they grow bigger，they cannot be pulled out. "The old man's words made a great difference to the boy's life.
