问题     It’s true that "A small change can make a big difference" in our life. A better technical term that can well【C1】________this idea is the "Butterfly Effect". A butterfly’s【C2】________wings can make changes in the path of a tornado; it may【C3】________create or prevent a tornado at a certain location.
    The concept referred to as the butterfly effect has been【C4】________by popular culture,【C5】________the term is often used to emphasize the outsize significance of minute occurrences, as in the 1990 movie Havana, in which Robert Redford, playing the role of Jack Weil, a gambler with a knack for math, proclaims to his costar, Lena Olin, that "a butterfly can【C6】________       its wings over a flower in China and cause a hurricane in the Caribbean".
    The "Butterfly Effect" plays a role in our【C7】________to a great extent. Small【C8】________could make a huge difference in our relationships. Most of the time we take things for【C9】________in our close relations. We don’t even think of saying "Thank You" to our parents as we believe they【C10】________things for us. Understanding some of the subtle feelings of our loved ones and【C11】________them the way they need would【C12】________change the relationship into a stronger one. I’ve come across people who feel【C13】________in their relationships as they failed to【C14】________these small needs.
    The "Butterfly Effect" also plays a role in our work. Looking carefully into the smallest details while starting a project is【C15】________. A subtle mistake while taking care of our customer’s 【C16】________could end up creating big trouble at the end of the process. This would mean a huge expense to【C17】________at the final delivery stage.
    Every morning, the time it takes me to drive to my office【C18】________what time I start from my home. It usually takes 30 minutes if I start at 7:20 a.m. It takes more than an hour if I start at 7:30 a.m. At first I was【C19】________how just a 10-minute difference【C20】________could add more than 30 minutes to the journey. In fact, the number of vehicles that come out on the road increases more than twice due to that 10-minute delay and it looks like butterflies crowding on the road. Yes, this is nothing but the "Butterfly Effect". [br] 【C19】
