Here is a poem titled “Sympathy on the Farmers” by Li Shen who is popular with Chinese readers.

It goes like this：Hot as it is outside at this summer noon time, the farmers are still weeding in the fields. They are wet all over with their sweat frequently falling into the soil, where the crops grow. But who knows exactly all our foods, the delicious dishes on our table, come from the hard work of the farmers?

Li Shen wrote this poem in order to remind people of the importance of the farmers' hard work. I think it's of great importance that the young generation today should understand the poem and treasure every grain.

Ⅱ. 读后续写

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。

Having held the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was the shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.

Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited. I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practising for the contest.

A week before the contest, my teacher Ms Sara asked, “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse (排练) for the contest？” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was. “Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience，” she added.

“I'm sorry, Ms Sara，” I replied. “I have a bit of a sore throat.”

This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practise in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Ms Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practise my script. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too vain to practise and expected everything to be fine.

The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed. My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.

Soon, it was my turn to talk.                                                                        

Finally, the results were announced after the contest.

Soon, it was my turn to talk. Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright. I spoke in an expressionless voice and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story. My legs trembled and so did my voice. On seeing my terrible performance, the judges shook their heads. The supporters from my school looked at me in disappointment. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. In the end, I walked off the stage, my eyes filled with tears.

Finally, the results were announced after the contest. I didn't win any prizes — not even a consolation one. It was not surprising at all. I felt ashamed when I faced my classmates and of course, Ms Sara. I regretted underestimating my opponents and overestimating myself. My vanity had cost me the championship. I now regretted being so arrogant. I had learned my lesson well and finally understood the meaning of the two sayings, “Pride goes before a fall.” and “Practice makes perfect.”
