Joe was a farmer. His farmland was so poor that he hadn’t good harvest for years. “If God let me control the _______, then everything will get better,” he complained, “I know better than God does because I am a clever farmer.”

God heard his words. “Well, I will give you one year,” God replied. “You will be in charge of the weather. Let’s see what your crops grow like.”

On hearing this, Joe was so _______ that he couldn’t believe what he heard. But he still wanted to have a try. He shouted, “Sunny!” Suddenly the clouds went away.

“Unbelievable!” He thought to himself and tried again, “rain!” The sky became cloudy right away and heavy rain poured down.

In the following year, he changed the weather between sunny and _______. Watching his crops growing bigger and bigger, he felt satisfied.

When the harvest season came, he went to the field, looking forward to a big harvest. But his heart sank to the bottom when he found his strong crops had not grown any grain（谷粒）at all. Puzzled and _______, he started crying. Once again, God ________ him.

“Don’t you have your wish to control the weather?” God asked again. “Yes, but I just can’t understand it. I have given them what they _______. How could it be?” Joe _______. “That’s because you _______ asked for wind, rainstorm, snow or anything that could make the roots stronger. Without strong roots, of course they won’t grow any fruit.” After he realized this, Joe asked God to _______ the power.

It turned out that only through life’s challenges, we would succeed in harvest the _______ of life. It takes both ups and downs to get satisfactory results.

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：牛津譯林版九年級(jí)下英語(yǔ)第二次模擬考試專題練習(xí)-閱讀表達(dá) 題型：多任務(wù)混合問(wèn)題

We cannot remember clearly since when we have started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto microblog or WeChat, “waiting to be liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal to see whether we get “l(fā)iked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.

Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?

A recent study shows what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less satisfying. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. (Some people, before, were, take, asked, could, to, photos, enjoy food, they). It proved that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?

Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will involuntarily (不自覺(jué)地) check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.

So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me. It will be a wonderful time.

1.What happens a lot at the dinner table nowadays?

2.What does the recent study tell us about taking photos of food?

For people living far from city centers，getting to work by bicycle alone may take a long time.　3.
