Passage 14(2014 訕尾,B)

       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 (洞穴) .1 was very surprised that each had its own job.

       On the fifth day a tragedy (悲劇) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down,and the ants began to die one by one.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 could not understand why their tunnels were gone.

       Although much time has passed,I still think of that ant farm which taught me much.

       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 (欽佩) for their hard work.

       Recently I also knew:Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life,and must be accepted.Unlike the ants,we cannot give up when we are sad.If a tunnel is gone,we can build another.Giving up,I say,is not a good choice.
