Long ago, in a small village of Wakefield lived two farmers, Harry and Peter. Harry was very
hard–working while Peter was _1_. Every day Harry got up early and came home late, but Peter
walked around for fun.
One summer there was no _2_ and the crops(庄稼)were dying. Harry thought,“I must do
something to save these crops, or they will die.”With this _3_ in mind, he went out to find a river
so that he could dig a canal(沟渠)to his field. He walked on and on, feeling tired and thirsty. After
a _4_ search, he found a river full of blue water. He was happy. He started digging a canal to his
field. _5_ it was noon his wife sent their daughter to bring Harry home _6_ lunch. But Harry did
not go. He did not want to leave his work unfinished. He completed his work _7_ at night. He
was very satisfied. He went home, had a good meal and _8_ into a sound sleep. Peter did the same.
But he was not at all determined(有决心的). He also _9_ digging a canal to his field but didn’t
have his work completed. His field did not get _10_ water and all his crops died.
Harry’s field would be watered when needed. He had a good harvest because of his hard
work..

It was yearbook day and we were given an hour to sigh each other’s yearbooks in the
cafeteria. I was president of the class and I played sports. When I sat down at a table, people
started to come over to get their yearbooks signed and to sign 1 . Among them, a weak boy
with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking. I had seen them around, and I knew he was always
laughed at. He seemed 2 of himself, and was so pale that it 3 us to look at him. He came
up and asked me nervously ,”Can you sign this ?” I took his yearbook but I don’t know 4 to
write. I saw that was the name “Ricky Sanders” written on the front of it. So I wrote:
“Ricky,
I think you’re a really nice kind kid, and I hope you have lots of fun in your summer
vacation.
Signature :Will”
I put down the yearbook and turned around to get some signatures from some of my
friends when I 5 my yearbook was gone. I saw that Ricky had sat down with my yearbook.”
What are you doing?” I asked him. He looked up calmly(平静地)and 6 said , “Sign!”
My friends broke into a loud laugh, and I saw that he was carefully trying to put a
signature in my yearbook. He hadn’t even finished the “R” yet. I thought for a while and 7 to
let him sign. It took him nearly five minutes to sign and when I got my yearbook back, there was a

him.

everyone at my table wanted his signature. He was asked politely to write in their yearbooks and
the signature 10 of his yearbook were filled up. He was smiling so big that it lit up the
whole room. I changed school the next year, and I never saw Ricky again. However, I will never
