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 exactly what to do. Each had its own job. On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared 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 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 for their hard work.But there was an even larger lesson 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, I say, is not a good choice.来源:51.

A Good Lesson from AntsBJimmy is an automotive mechanic(技工), but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job. One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre（轮胎) of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. Its the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed. Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewers office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmys heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmys surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know youd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job. 56. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A.

Gloria was in one of 36 small wooden rowing boats that set off on 7 October, 2007 from Tenerife Island on the Atlantic Rowing Challenge Race. Each boat was exactly the same design and each one had food for the journey.

When she finally arrived in Barbados, Gloria was not willing to leave her boat although her husband and family were there to greet her. She sat so long in the boat that she could hardly stand, her husband had to carry her off the boat. After that, the first thing she did was to drink a toast to her small boat, the very special lady.

However, experts say the influence is not immediate, and can take up some time to take effect. Dr. Kelly Baron said: If you have insomnia（失眠），you wont exercise yourself into sleep right away. Its a long-term job. You have to keep at it and not get discouraged. Dr. Baron decided to carry out her own research after hearing her patients with insomnia complain that the exercise didnt help them right away. She said: Theyd say, I exercised so hard yesterday and didnt sleep at all. Its thought that exercise improves sleep, but I thought it probably wasnt that simple for people with insomnia. Most previous studies have been carried out on healthy sleepers. Dr. Barons research is the first one. She looked at the data from older women with insomnia over a 16-week
