Carver studied peanuts.He knew that the south couldn't grow just cotton. Planting cotton year after year wore out the soil and made it useless.Carver learned that if farmers planted cotton one year and peanuts the next,the soil{#blank#}1{#/blank#}healthy.

    To encourage this practice,Carver thought of new uses for the peanut.Would you like to try peanut and raisin ice cream? How about using peanuts as a kind of{#blank#}2{#/blank#} to make shampoo? Perhaps you would prefer to make paint from peanuts,or maybe you would like to bake with peanut flour.Glue? Paper? Rubber? The list goes on and on.He also thought of{#blank#}3{#/blank#}uses for pecans (山核桃）and other nuts.

    Carver{#blank#}4{#/blank#}little from most of his inventions.He didn't feel that it was right to sell his ideas. He gave them freely to help farmers and fellow scientists.Carver's life is one that we could all use as an example.

    No matter what you want to do in your life, you'll need an education first. You make your own {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . If you want to be a doctor, a teacher, or a police officer? You need a good education. And what you're learning in school today will {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your careers in the future. You will meet with many {#blank#}3{#/blank#} on the way to success.

    The truth is that being successful is hard. Some of the most successful people in the world are the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} who have had the most failures. For example, the first book of J.K. Rowling, the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of Harry Potter, was refused 12 times before it was  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} published. Michael

Jordan was once kicked off his high school basketball team. He {#blank#}7{#/blank#}hundreds of games and thousands of shots during his career. But he said, "I have failed over and over again in my life. But that's why I{#blank#}8{#/blank#}."

    So if you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} .you need to spend more time studying.

    I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. So don't let us down. More importantly, don't let{#blank#}10{#/blank#} down.
