三、阅读理解
Ade was a farmer. His farmland was so poor that he hadn’t had good harvests (收获)for years.
“ If God lets me control the weather, then everything will get better, ” he said angrily.
“I’m a farmer. I know what’s the best for crops (庄稼) to grow more than God does.”
God heard him.“ Well, I give you one year,” God said, “You will control all kinds of weather. Let’s see what
your crops will grow like.”
After hearing this, Ade was excited and shouted at once, “Sunny! ” Suddenly the clouds went away.
He was pleased and shouted again, “Rain! ” The sky was covered with dark clouds right away, and then after a
while, heavy rain poured down.
Watching the crops growing better and better, Ade felt pretty satisfied. Then, the harvest season come.
He went to the field to get his crops. But his heart suddenly went down when he found he couldn’t get even a
grain （谷粒）. He couldn’t understand it and started to cry. Once again, God heard him.“ Do you want to know why you still don’t get the good harvest? ”God asked.“ That’s because you never asked
for wind, rainstorm, snow and ice, or anything that could make the air fresher and the roots (根系) stronger. With no
strong roots, the crops won’t grow any fruit.”
After he realized this, Ade asked God to take back the power. It showed that only through life’s challenges we
would get the fruit of life.
