二、短文填词
(改编自2016届湖北宜昌第一中学高三上12月月考) Over the years I've been teaching children about a simple 1 powerful concept—the ant philosophy (哲学).I think everybody should study ants.
They have an 2 (amaze)four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they'll look for 3 way. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They never quit looking for a way to get where they 4 (suppose) to go.
Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important viewpoint. You can't be so naive(天真的)as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and make 5 (prepare)for the long cold winter. You’ve got to think storms when it’s fine. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.
The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind 6 , "This won't last long. We'll soon be out of here." And on the first warm day, the ants are out. 7 it turns cold again, they'll dive back down, but then they come out on the first warm day. They can't wait to get out.
And here's the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will 8 ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he 9 (possible)can. What an incredible philosophy! 10 you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
