The significantwords found on an old key —"If I rest, I will rust"—would be an excellent motto for those who are tired of their slightest bit of idleness
(懒散).
Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their abilities polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gates that guard the entrance to the professions, to science, art, literature, or agriculture —- every department of human efforts.
Industry(勤奋)　keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement.
If Hugh Miller, after working hard all day in a mine, had devoted his evenings to rest and relaxation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The outstanding mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to the science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness. Had the little Scottish boy, Ferguson, allowed his busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the positions of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.

“But,” said the child:” Leave me here in Heaven. I don’t want anything else   26 sing and smile. That’s what I need to be happy!” God said: “Your angel will sing and smile for you. And you will feel your   27’ s love and be happy.” How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don’t know the language that   28   talk?” “That’s easy”, said God: “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet   29   you will ever hear, and  30  much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to   31  .”

The child looked up at God   32  : “And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?” God smiled: “Your angel will place your   33   together and will teach you how to pray.” The child said: “I’ve heard on earth there are 34   men. Who will protect me?” God put his arm around the child, saying: “Your angel will defend you－  35   it means risking life!” “But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.” God   36 the child: “Your angel will always talk about me and will teach you the way to   37    to me, even though I will always be   38   you.”

    At that moment there was much peace in Heaven. But voices from earth could already be heard. The child, in a hurry, asked softly: “Oh God, if I   39   leave now, Please tell my Angel’s name!” God replied: “Your angel’s name is of no importance…you will  40 call her MOMMY!”
