    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（地道）. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy（悲�。﹉appened. 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 their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that 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（欽佩）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.
【小題1】 What did the writer’s family do for him when he was seven?

A young man was going to finish school. For a long time he was looking forward to getting a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well afford it, so he told him all he wanted.
Then on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box. To his surprise, the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣經(jīng)）with his name on it. Angrily, he said to his father “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. He thought he should go to see his father. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements（安排）, he received a phone telling him his father had passed away. He had to come home immediately and take care of the things that his father left him.
When he began to search through his father's important papers, he saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（標(biāo)牌） dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”. Sadness and regret filled his heart.
