The boy decided to the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be thankful. He took out a knife and cut the hole to make it . The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it looked a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin . The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was able to fly.

How often do you exercise? A new study found that one third of the kids from 12 to 15 weren’t getting enough physical activity. The results were about 800 kids.
Doctors suggested an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the , only 1 in 4 of the US kids exercised enough.
Few in the survey met the doctors’ ideas about physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes people become . However, most of those kids said they did less than an hour of exercise the week before. Overall, about 25% they got an hour of that kind of hard exercise every day. Kids reported they usually did most of the activities outside of school gym class---- for boys and running for girls.

The study also said that the obesity rate for children aged 2 to19 17%, or about 12.5 million kids.
