　Trees are useful to 　1　 in three very important 　2 　: They provide him with wood and other 　3 　; they give him shade; they help to prevent drought and 　4　 .Unfortunately, in many 　5 　of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is 　6 　important.

　Two thousand years 　7 　a rich and powerful country cut down its trees 　8 　warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, 　9 　its trees, its soil became hard and 　10 　. When the empire fell 　11 　, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation.

　Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for 　12 　to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food 　13 　; and he can earn money 　14 　making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look 　15 　new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can 　16 　the people, the forests will slowly disappear.

　This does not only 　17 　that the villagers' sons and grandsons have 　18 　trees.The results are even more 　19 　: for where 　20 　are trees, their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in—and also bind (結(jié)合)the soil, thus preventing its 　21 　washed away easily, but where there are no 　22 　, the rain falls 　23 　hard ground and carrying 　24 　with it the rich top soil, in which crops 　25 　so well. When all the top soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.

Since my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one.

　 I had seen an agency (中介機(jī)構(gòu)) advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the 61 in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as 62 as if I were going on the stage. Finding the 63 quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”

　 The simple atmosphere of the office 64 me. The woman looked carefully at me 65 through her glasses, and then 66 me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden I started to feel rather 67 . She wondered why I was looking for this sort of 68 . I felt even more helpless when she told me that it would be 69 to get a job without 70 . I wondered whether I ought to leave, 71 the telephone on her desk rang. I heard her say: “ 72 , I’ve got someone in the 73 at this very moment who might 74 .” She wrote down a 75 , and held it out to me, saying: “ Ring up this lady. She wants a 76 immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”

　 “ Oh yes,” said I — 77 having cooked for more than four in my life. I 78 her again and again, and rushed out to the 79 telephone box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep breath, and rang the number. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for. I spent the next few hours 80 cook books.

My First Job

　　I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula, Okia. 1 the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I 2 out of old boards. I got my first 3 job, at JM’s Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities（職責(zé)）were 4 tables and washing dishes, 5 sometimes I helped cook.

　　Every day after school I would 6 to JM’s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I 7 from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and 8 my friends run off to swim or play. I didn’t necessarily like work, but I loved what working 9 me to have. Because of my 10 I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Tastee Freez. This made me 11 .

　　Word that I was trustworthy and hardworking 12 around town. A local clothing store offered me credit（賒賬） 13 I was only in seventh grade. I immediately 14 a ＄ 68 sports coat and a ＄ 22 pair of shoes. I was 15 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the storekeeper ＄ 90! So I learned 16 the danger of easy credit. I paid it 17 as soon as I could.

　　My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a 18 of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father, 19 worked three jobs, once told me,“If you 20 sacrifice（奉獻(xiàn)）and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can’t have.”How right he was.
