Long ago, in a small village of Wakefield lived two farmers, Harry and Peter. Harry was very hard–working while Peter was _1_. Every day Harry got up early and came home late, but Peter walked around for fun.
One summer there was no _2_ and the crops(庄稼)were dying. Harry thought,“I must do something to save these crops, or they will die.”With this _3_ in mind, he went out to find a river so that he could dig a canal(沟渠)to his field. He walked on and on, feeling tired and thirsty. After a _4_ search, he found a river full of blue water. He was happy. He started digging a canal to his field. _5_ it was noon his wife sent their daughter to bring Harry home _6_ lunch. But Harry did not go. He did not want to leave his work unfinished. He completed his work _7_ at night. He was very satisfied. He went home, had a good meal and _8_ into a sound sleep. Peter did the same. But he was not at all determined(有决心的). He also _9_ digging a canal to his field but didn’t have his work completed. His field did not get _10_ water and all his crops died.
Harry’s field would be watered when needed. He had a good harvest because of his hard work..

It completely changed my life. On that day I had a 1 with my friends and it was a difficult time with my studies. I was unhappy. Then I noticed the gift. I 2 it and saw a DVD inside. Its name was “THE SECRET”, however , I was no mood(心情) to watch it. I sat down to study, but the 3 in my life---the fight, the sleepless nights and my poor heath……Everything came to my mind. I wanted an answer but I wondered 4 there was any. Just then, I saw the DVD again. Maybe it would be helpful. I 5 my DVD player.
