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.

    My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents' situation, I was looking forward to 1. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on. I was really 2 because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “3.”

    “For what?” I asked.

    “To hold a private meeting, just you and I,” he said, “To hold a private meeting about what we're going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves 4we're in the situation we are in.”

    “But we can't do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.

    And that's how the most unbelievable 5 in this family started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could6talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.

    Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”

    An old friend from the US whom I was looking forward to staying with, telephoned from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was still at the 1 at that time, but I had got everything ready for his arrival. After letting him know where my house was, I told him that I had the 2 under the door-mat (门垫). 3 I was possible to be home rather late, I told him to go into the 4 and help himself to food and drink.

    Two hours later my friend 5 me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having just had a truly wonderful 6. He had found a cooker and 7 two eggs and had helped himself to some cold chicken from the ice box. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice and he hoped I would 8 him. When I asked him if he had reached the house without difficulty, he answered, "I was not able to find the key, but 9 the living room windows just by the apple tree were left open and you know what I could do."

    I listened to all this in 10. In front of my living room there was no apple tree at all.
