Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example.

There was a farmer who 　1 corn（玉米）all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the 　2 and won the first prize.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer 　3 his seed（做种子的) corn to his neighbors.

"How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the 　4 with you each year."

"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The 　5 picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow 　6 corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "
