题目内容
When I was seven years old,my family made me an ant farm (蚂蚁窝), First,we put clean sand in a thin glass box.Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm,they started to make tunnels (地道).I was amazed that each one knew well what to do.Each had its own job.
On the fifth day something terrible happened.I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over.All the tunnels fell down.Although (虽然) the ants kept alive after their earthquake,one by one they began to die.I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness.They simply could not stand (忍受) that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed,I still think of that ant farm.Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world,but it taught me much more.
Over the years,I came to realize the importance of teamwork.Working together,the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves.I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.
But there was an even larger 1esson that I did not realize until recently:Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life and must be accepted.Unlike the ants,we cannot give up when we are sad.We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone,we must build another.
Giving up is not a good choice.
