One's attitude is always important. If you are lazy and weak, you will never taste any success. But if you are  16  , success and happiness will be more likely to come to you.

I love eating persimmons(柿子). But you can't get them until autumn. If you try them before the right time, they probably  17  bad.

In Grade Six, because of my poor grades, my parents were  18  that I wouldn't be able to get into an excellent middle school. They  19  me to study harder, but I didn't really understand why they were so anxious.

Summer came, and I studied hard. The hot weather made me   20   and I couldn't focus on my textbooks. But every time I wanted to stop  21  , Mom would shout, "Hey, you! Think about your  22  . If you don't work hard, you'll regret (后悔) it!" I had to sit back down again and return to my textbooks. But all I  23  was playing with my friends and eating persimmons.

My mom would say to me, with a serious look on  24  face, "If a persimmon tree doesn't grow in summer, it can't bear( 结出 ) fruit in autumn ! Only by hard work,   25  you get the good result of your work. "

Although I didn't understand it at that time, I  26  came to see the truth of her words. A few months later, I succeeded in getting into the key middle school. It was  27  . Walking in my new school, I could see quite a few persimmon trees. The fruit was so red that it looked as if it was on fire. Suddenly, I  28   that working hard may be bitter but its fruit is sweet.

My mom was right: If a persimmon tree doesn't grow  29  summer, it can't bear fruit in autumn. I smiled.

I had grown through the summer  30  now it was autumn.

I tasted my success and enjoyed the fruits of my labors!
