A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apple trees he grew.
One day, his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but he did not know where to plant it.
He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit. Finally he planted the tree in his wood. But without sunlight and good soil(土壤), the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily and then told what he had thought.
“Yes,” said the friend, “but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have robbed everyone of the fruit, but also you have destroyed (毁掉) a good apple tree! ”

BEIJING---Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has visited the“left-behind” children whose parents are working in cities before Children’s Day.

The premier held Yang in his arms and looked through his exercise books and praised him for his hard work. (83) Wen talked with many children and asked them many questions about their schooling and life.“ You are so pretty,” Wen said to Liu Mengqi, a seven-year-old girl living with her grandmother. Liu’s parents were also working in the city.
“Have you been to school yet?” Wen asked two other girls.
“ We are going to the pre-school class,” said one.
“ Mon and dad at home?” Wen asked. The children shook their heads.
“ Children cannot see their parents very often, which is a new problem in the countryside. We should give them more care and love,” said the premier.
(84) “ With fast economic（经济）development, more people in the country chose to work in cities and left their children with grandparents or relatives back home”，said Wen. The premier asked local governments to do something to protect and care for such children at home and free their parents in cities from worries about their children.

根据短文内容,完成下列表格,每空一词。
Some people succeed, while others may not. This is because some people have certain qualities, which others do not.
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must be optimistic（乐观）. If you do not expect to win, you will not try as hard as people who do expect to win. You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation（动机） is a key to getting success. If you do not have an aim, then you won’t work hard and put your performance under the microscope（显微镜） to make sure that every detail is right.
Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity---thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.
Reading is another to success, as it will help you learn about how other people have got success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang, who have got amazing success in their areas of business.
Practicing is equally important if you want to be successful because practice makes perfect. Practise every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you as well. Your workmates will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more responsibility（责任）. Finally if you are a successful person, you will be able to look people in the eye and smile confidently.
Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!
