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

There was a farmer who   36   corn（玉米）all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the   37   and won the first prize.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer   38   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   39   with you each year."

"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The   40   picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow   41   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. "

The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn improves.

As a great man says, "We make a living by what we grow; we make a life by what we give." We can't   42   without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get,   43   by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us    44    from other animals.

So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find   45   in their life.

During the day, you spend a lot of time running, jumping, laughing, eating, and talking. You use up a lot of energy(能量) , and by the end of the day you're tired. Sleep gives your body a chance to rest.

But your brain (大脑)and body are not completely at rest during sleep. While you sleep, your mind may think of the things that happened during the day. It keeps the important things in mind as memories(记忆). It also thinks about things you were worrying about, and you may wake up with answers to some of your problems.

You also grow while you sleep. The thing called "human growth hormone (荷尔蒙)" in the body helps you grow during sleep. This growth hormone also helps the body to repair itself.

Sleep helps your body to conserve energy too. You use up a lot of energy during your daily activities. But when you sleep, your body temperature falls, and your "metabolism" (新陈代谢) slows down. You are still using some energy, but much less than when you are awake and active.

Have you ever stayed up past your bedtime? Did you have difficulty getting up the next morning? Maybe you had problems seeing clearly or you cannot think clearly. That was your body's way of saying, "I need sleep！" A lack ( 缺乏) of sleep can stop your body and mind from working correctly.
