     When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass
box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
     After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels. I was very surprised 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 the earthquake, one by one they
began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry bodies to a corner
of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not understand why 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.

1. What did the writer's family do for him when he was seven?

　　President (总统) George W Bush is visiting an elementary school today and visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion(讨论) of words and their meanings.

　　The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word“tragedy”. So the President asks the class for an example of a“tragedy”.

　　One little boy stands up and says,“If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“No,”says Bush,“that would be an accident.”

　　A little girl puts up her hand,“If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff(悬崖), killing everyone in the bus, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“I am afraid not,”explains the President.“That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS(损失).”

　　The room goes quiet. No other children answer. President Bush looks around the mom.“Is not there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

　　At last, in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny puts up his hand. In a quiet voice he says,“If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs Bush, was hit by a missile(导弹) and blown up to pieces, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“Right,”exclaims(大叫)Bush,“that is right, and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”

　　“Well,”little Johnny says,“because, as you just told us, it would not be an accident, and it sure as well would not be a great loss.”
