A farmer and his crops
Once upon a time, there was a farmer, who was always worried about the growth of his crops. Everyday he went to see them. But the crops grew much slower than he expected. He was so anxious after three days’ watch in his fields. Then he said to himself: I must find a better way to help them grow faster. At last, a good idea came up to his mind. Then he rushed towards the fields. For the whole day, he was there to pull each crop upward. He worked hard till the sunset. Then he came home, exhausted. He couldn’t wait to tell his family the great thing he had done in the daytime. But he was so tired that he was out of breath. “I am exhausted, but you know, my efforts were not in vain, I helped all the little crops grow faster. It’s worth it.” the farmer said joyfully and he even couldn’t help laughing loudly.
However, his son found something wrong. He ran to the fields in a hurry, but it was too late when he find that all the crops died back.
This story tells us things would be worse if we make them happen speedily without following the developing rules of them.
从前，有一个农夫，他总是担心自己的庄稼长得不好，每天都要去地里看一看他们长了多少。但是庄稼并没有如他所愿地长得飞快。他绞尽脑汁想到一个“好”办法。于是他就飞奔到田里，把那些小庄稼苗一棵棵地向上拔。忙活了一整天，虽然很累，但他却无比高兴。他还兴冲冲地回到家里把这个成果告诉了自己的家人。但是他的儿子听了之后察觉到了哪里不对劲，于是急忙跑到地里，但是为时已晚，那些庄稼全都枯死了。
这个故事告诉我们，一味地追求快速而不遵循事物发展的规律，只会适得其反。

tips：小朋友们在听第一遍音频的时候最好先不要看文本，采用盲听的方式，看看自己能听懂多少。然后对照原文听第二遍，注意老师每个单词的发音。第三遍继续盲听，再对照，以此反复，精听至少6遍，直到自己能够听清每个单词及老师的发音技巧。这个方法能够帮助你提升英语的语感和听力。如果小朋友们在听第一遍的时候已经能够听清80%的单词，证明你的英语水平真的很了不起哦。
