【正文】 specially true for electronics, such as puters, TVs, and video games. To me, however, there39。s something even more important about Mondays. Each Monday stands for a new beginning. For example, last week I got behind on my homework and had to spend the weekend catching up. But as soon as Monday arrived, I had a clean slate. Another week I forgot to do some of my chores, so I had to give up going to a movie with my friends on the weekend. I also love Mondays because we frequently start new lessons at school at the beginning of the week. While last week39。s topics may have been boring, Monday can bring a new book to read, more experiments to conduct, or math problems to work out. I realize that I am probably not going to persuade everyone that Monday is the best day of the week, but hopefully I can encourage a few people to change their attitude The next time a Monday s, think about all the good things that could happen and look forward to the day instead of fearing it. There39。s no way to avoid Mondays, so join me in making the best of them. Who knows? You might even start liking the first day of the workweek.（1）Why does the writer mention the song Monday, Monday. in Paragraph 1?

The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis（蛹）. Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly es out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn39。t struggle（掙扎；奮斗） to leave the chrysalis, it can39。t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly. When people are young, meeting and overing challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father39。s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives. Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rockclimbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overe challenges. The young people of today will bee the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to bee successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overe them.（1）From the story we know that the butterfly can39。t fly because ________.
