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

There was a farmer who   36   corn(玉米)all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the   37   and won the first prize.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer   38   his seed(做种子的) 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   39   with you each year."

"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The   40   picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow   41   corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "
