The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly.
Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in the nice protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the "pupa (蛹)" stage.
After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.
After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again.

The Right Way to Breathe during Exercise
Exercising is great for your health- everyone knows this. However, simply exercising isn't enough. It needs to be done properly.
While exercising, making sure your breathing is correct is very important. Naturally, we breathe through our nose. Not really.
Breathing through your nose has its advantages. Your nose hair acts like an air filter (过滤器). Breathing through your nose also warms and moistens (….湿润) the air.
However, when you exercise, you should always make sure that you are taking in enough oxygen (氧气). You can breathe through your nose while doing lighter exercise like yoga. During more heavy exercise, such as running, it is better to breathe through your mouth.
However, most people usually take quicker breaths while doing any heavy exercise. Quicker breathing is not a proper way of breathing. This can cause dizziness (头晕) and other health problems.
In fact, while doing exercise like running, one should breathe in a 3:2 ratio (比率). This means that for the first three steps, the person should be in baling (吸气) deeply. In this way you can take in the largest amount of oxygen.
While we often breathe through our nose, breathing through our mouth is a good choice as well. Sometimes people use both their nose and mouth to breathe. While doing any exercise, your breaths should be deep, rather than quick. This will help you to burn more fat and keep you fitter.
