Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then  31   ? Here is an example.

    There was a farmer who   32   corn （玉米） all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market to take part in a competition. Then each time his corn was chosen as the   33   and won the first prize.

    One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something   34   about how he grew it. The farmer   35 his seed corn to his neighbors.

    "How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked.  "You know they are taking part in the   36   with you each year. "

    "Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The   37   picks up pollen （花粉)from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow   38   corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality(质量) of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must   39   my neighbors to grow good corn. "

    The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve   40   his neighbor's corn improves.

     As a great man says, "We make a living by what we   41  ; we make a life by what we give." We can't   42   without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaning of life is not decided by how much we can  get,    43   by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us   44    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   45   in their life.

  Hotlines have become common in China．Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows．

  That’s a good idea．Yet，the fact is that some people do nothing but break the whole program．

  Some people know little about the topic under discussion．Sometimes they do not even know what the host(主持人)is talking about．So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about．Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知)．Then the host has to answer and explain-how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time．

  It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun．They just want to let the listeners hear them．They don’t care what the topic is，whether they themselves are interested in it or how silly they appear to be．

  I'm totally bored by those people．It’s necessary for the stations to improve the hotline programs. In my opinion，if a caller doesn’t know what is going on，the operator(接线员) should not let the caller take part in it．

1．The host has to answer and explain，        ．

  A．for the host works hard

  B．because the caller doesn’t know what the show is about

  C．for the host likes talking to the callers

  D．because it’s a talk show

 2.The passage doesn’t tell us the idea that some listeners        ．

  A．phone the hotlines for fun

  B．just want to be heard by others

  C. who don’t care what the topic is must realize that they appear silly

  D．can take part in the hotline programs

3．The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to       ．

  A．the host       B．the listener

C．the station    D．the hotline program
