Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then 1? Here is an example.

    There was a farmer who 2 corn（玉米) all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the 3 and won the first prize.

    One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something 4 about how he grew it. The farmer  5 his seed (做种子的) corn to his neighbours.

    "How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbours?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the 6 with you each year. "

    "Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The 7 picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbours grow 8 corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must   9 my neighbours to grow good corn. "

    The farmer knows much about the connection of life.  His corn cannot improve 10 his neighbours' corn improves.

    As a great man says, "We make a living by what we 11; we make a life by what we give." We can't  12 without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, 13  by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us 14 from other animals.  So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find 15 in their life.

    In some cities, it is a festival for the 12. Children 13 red and yellow strings (线). With these, they think they will get away from the ghosts(鬼). Parents buy sweets and other delicious food 14 their children. They usually get together to 15 a big dinner on that day.

    Yesterday was Father's Day. Something that happened between my father and I is still on my mind. It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood(情绪). 1friends of mine had gone to the movies the night before and neither had invited me. I was in my room 2how to make them sorry when my father came in. "Want to go for a ride today, Beck? It's a beautiful day. "

    "No! Leave me alone!" Those were the 3 words I said to him that morning.

    A few hours later, my friends called me to go to the mall with them. I forgot to be4 with them and went with them. When I came home, I found a(n) 5 from my mother that said," Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at the Park Hospital. "

    When I reached the hospital, my mother told me a car hit my father and he was seriously wounded. "Your father told the driver to leave6 alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy."

    My mother may have said more, but I didn't hear anything 7 those terrible words: Leave me alone. How much had I hurt him when I shouted at him earlier that day?

    It was several days later that he was 8 able to talk. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

    "Daddy...I am so sorry..."

    "It's okay, sweetheart. I'll be okay. "

    "No," I said. "I mean 9 I said to you that day. You know, that morning. "

    He looked at me and said with a weak smile," Sweetheart, I remember nothing about that day. "

    My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal (治愈). And we all have the power to10 what to say. I am going to do that very carefully from now on.

    A fox is1food. He is very hungry. Now he stands near a wall. He sees2fine grapes on the wall. He smiles and says, "3 nice they are! I want to eat them. The fox is jumping. He jumps and jumps, 4 the wall is too high. He5 get the grapes. The fox says "I must go now. I don't like those grapes. They are green. They are not good to eat.”

    A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband. For many months she had liked a beautiful ring, and knowing her husband could1it, she told him that was all she wanted. On the morning of the birthday, her husband told her how2he was to have such a good wife, and how much he loved her. He gave her a beautiful gift package. She opened it and 3 a Bible(《圣经》).Angrily, she raised her voice and said to her husband, "With all your money, you give me a Bible？”She was so 4 that she left him.

    Many years passed and the lady was very5in business. She owned two large companies. She 6her husband was very old, and thought perhaps she could go to 7him. But before she could, she received a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his possessions(财产)to her. She needed to come back and take care of things.

    When she arrived at his house, sadness filled her heart. She saw the 8 new Bible, just as she had left it years before. With tears in her eyes, she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring9from the Biole to the floor and a card could be seen. She picked it up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days. And on the card was the date of her birth, and the words" LOVE YOU ALWAYS".

    10your gift is not packed in the way you want it, it's because it is better packaged in the way it is！Always appreciate little things; they usually lead you to bigger things! The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched for they must be felt with the heart.
