Rota is a very small town in Spain. It is famous for its fruits and vegetables. In particular,it is famous for its tomatoes and pumpkins.

One would think that the soil of this region must be very good. It must be very rich in

order to grow 1        excellent tomatoes and pumpkins. 2       the soil is not good. It is poor. It is only sand and rock―nothing 3       (many) . The winds of the ocean blow hard. They have carried 4        the good soil. They have left only sand in its place. There is also little water. The soil is dry and hard.

The farmers of this region have to work very hard. They work from morning till night. They dig wells 5       (where) there is water. They carry water 6        hand to their gardens. They use anything and everything to make the soil a little 7 (rich) around each plant. They cover the young plants with leaves. In this way they protect them from the sun and wind. They watch each plant 8       (care) . They watch the plants 9        are not strong. They give these plants more water and more attention. They show the plants the same 10       (affect) they show for their wives or children.

There is a proverb about Rota farmers;The farmer of Rota touches each tomato plant at least forty times a day.

There was once a lonely girl. She longed so much with love. One day while she was walking in the wood she found two starving songbirds. She took up them home and put them in a cage. She cared them with love and the birds grew strongly.

One day the girl opened the cage. The larger and the stronger of the two birds flew the cage. The girl was so frightened which he would fly away. As he flew close,she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad with her success in capturing him. Suddenly she felt the bird went limp. She opened her hands and stared in horror at the death bird. Her desperate love had killed him.

If you're feeling disheartened,what strategies can make you feel better? It's pretty clear that repeating "I'm the greatest！" is not a good way to build healthy selfesteem. 1       When you're feeling lousy (讨厌的) about yourself,what can you do to feel better?

Here's the secret. To build your selfrespect,do something worthy of your respect. To like yourself better,do something that makes you likable. Here are some strategies to try:

1. Do a good deed. This is as selfish as it is selfless. 2       I had a friend who went through a period of tremendous rejection：She was fired from her job;she did not get into the graduate program to which she'd applied;her boyfriend broke up with her. Everything worked out fine in the end,and I asked her how she got through such a tough time. She said, "I was practically addicted to doing good deeds for other people. It was the only way I could make myself feel like I wasn't a total loser."

2. 3       Bring your old magazines to the gym so other people can read them. Offer directions to someone who looks lost. Sign up to be an organ donor. My current favorite： picking up trash that other people have left on the subway.

3. Become an expert. There's great satisfaction in mastery. Pick a subject that interests you,and dig in deep: the American Revolution,Photoshop,knife techniques. 4       But if you push through,you'll give yourself a huge boost. Be sure to pick something that honestly attracts you. Become an expert on The Sopranos,if that sounds interesting,but don't decide to learn about wine just because you think other people will be impressed. You're much less likely to stick with it,so you won't benefit as much.

4. Maintain your energy. Studies show that when you're feeling energetic,you're much more likely to feel good about yourself. Most important：get enough sleep.5      

   A. Strike a balance between work and play.

   B. Make small gestures of good citizenship.

   C. You'll benefit as much as the person you're helping.

   D. At the same time,it's a rare person who is not sometimes troubled with painful selfdoubt.

   E. If you need an emergency energy fix,take a quick tenminute walk,or listen to some great music.

   F. This can be hard,because learning something new can also make you feel frustrated and stupid.

   G. This strategy does not work for me,but I know that many people feel great after being encouraged by their friends.

How Can I Fight Laziness?

Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

1       Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2       Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3       Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.

Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. . Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 4       Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.

5       Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

   A. To fight family laziness,set an example.

   B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

   C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

   D. Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

   E. With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.

   F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.

   G. Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child.

            The danger of success

    A new climber prepared to climb the Alps across the Swiss border. He invited two 41 (experience) guides to keep him company.

    They took a very dangerous mountain road. But 42 (protect) by the two excellent guides,he did not feel any danger. They climbed the long road,and 43 (final) arrived at the peak (顶峰) . The climber wanted to enjoy the feeling of standing on the peak first,so 44 guides moved aside and let him walk ahead.

    On the peak the young climber was so 45 (excite) that he forgot the strong wind 46 could blow at any time. He jumped up,47 (cheer) for his victory. Just at this moment,one guide caught up 48 him and pulled him down to the ground.

    “Kneel(跪) on the ground quickly!” he shouted. “You’ 11 not be safe 49 you kneel on the ground now!”

    There are too many times we want to stand tall and enjoy our success. But it is at these moments that we most easily 50 (appear) in the strong wind.
