阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

In a small town surrounded by green mountains, there lived a boy named Ethan. He went to an ordinary primary school, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t do well in his studies. He couldn’t understand the lessons, and he kept making mistakes on his homework. His classmates laughed at him, and as time went by, he began to doubt himself — maybe he really was stupid.

One afternoon after school, only Mr. Harris, the philosophy teacher, was left in the classroom. Ethan gathered his courage, walked over, and whispered, “Sir, no matter how hard I study, I just can’t learn anything. I can’t remember things, and I can’t calm down.”

The teacher asked him to sit down and said, “Don’t worry. There is hope. I’ll teach you five little secrets. The first lesson is to calm the mind.” Taking out a bottle of muddy water, the teacher told Ethan to wait before looking again. When the mud sank and the water cleared, he said, “Your brain is the same — full of pressure, you can’t see clearly. Breathe deeply to let your mind settle before studying.”

The second lesson was to focus on the present moment. The teacher lit a candle and told Ethan to stare at the flame. At first, his mind kept jumping to exams and to his classmates’ laughter. The teacher said, “The past is gone, the future not yet here. Only this moment is yours. Bring your attention back when it wanders.”

The third lesson was to understand instead of memorizing. The teacher took out a rock and a sponge (海绵), poured water over them, and explained: those who only memorize are like the rock, while those who understand are like the sponge that absorbs knowledge. “Whenever you learn a lesson, try to explain it in your own words,” he advised.

The fourth lesson was to break big problems into small parts. The teacher gave Ethan a big piece of wood that he couldn’t break, and then sawed (锯) it into small pieces that Ethan broke easily. “Studying is the same,” the teacher said. “Break a chapter into sections. Conquer a small piece each day, and you won’t be frightened by its difficulty.”

注意：（1）词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The fifth lesson was to practice a little every day.

【参考范文】

The fifth lesson was to practice a little every day. The teacher took out a small jar and a handful of beans, putting one bean into the jar each time. “Little by little, it adds up,” he said gently. Ethan followed the advice: he spent 15 minutes reviewing lessons after school daily, solved one small exercise at a time, and never skipped a day. Slowly, he found he could remember knowledge better and understand lessons more easily, and his homework mistakes became fewer.

Over the years, Ethan grew into a confident young man. He no longer doubted himself and even became an excellent student in middle and high school. He always kept Mr. Harris’ five secrets in mind, which not only helped him with his studies but also guided him in life. Whenever he met difficulties, he would calm down, focus on the present, break problems into small parts, understand deeply and practice persistently. He knew that his progress was not due to being smart, but to the little secrets and his own perseverance.
