A Lesson

Joe was a farmer. His farmland was so poor that he hadn't had good harvests for years.

"If God lets me control the weather, then everything will get better," he complained. "I'm a farmer. I know what's the best for crops to grow than God does."

God told him that he would control all kinds of weather. "Let's see what your crops will grow like." God said.

On hearing this, Joe was excited and immediately shouted, "Sunny!" Suddenly the clouds went away.

He was pleased and shouted again, "Rainy!" The sky was covered with dark clouds right away, then after a while, heavy rain poured down.

Watching the seeds growing bigger and bigger and becoming crops, Joe felt much satisfied. Then, the harvest season came.

He went to the field to get his crops. But his heart suddenly sank(下沉)when he found the strong crops even hadn't grown a grain. He was quite confused and started to cry. Once again, God heard him.

"Do you want to know why you still don't get the good harvest you want?" God asked. "That's because you never asked for wind, rainstorm, snow and ice, or anything that could make the air fresher and the roots stronger. Without strong roots, of course the crops won't grow any fruit. "

After he realized this, Joe asked God to take back the power. It turned out that only through life's challenges would we reap(收获)the fruit of life.

One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad.

On the tube(the underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop's name cheerfully, praising her mother's long nails, trying to ______ her mother's attention. Her mother just nodded and mumbled (含糊地说)"Mm, hm" with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to ______ her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned _____ , and was in low spirits. It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.

It broke my heart and got me wondering what kind of ______ would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?

The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has ____! The parents have become "technology slaves", that is to say, they can't ______ themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold their smart phones and play the simple games every day. I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.
