They looked the same as they were the day before. The farmer was very worried and asked his neighbor for help. “I am worried about my rice. It seems to have stopped growing! What can I do?” “Don’t be worried. Just work hard and wait. Nature will provide,” said the neighbor. However, the farmer was still worried. “What should I do to help it grow?” he asked his son. “Dad,” answered the son, “I think you need to wait. The rice is growing, but you just don’t notice it! Be patient. We will get lots of rice in the late summer.” The farmer said, “I don’t think so, Son. I must do something to help it!” The next morning, the farmer ran to the rice fields and pulled the rice plants up one by one. He finally finished as the sun was setting. He was tired, but he was happy, because he had helped the rice to grow up. He went home and told his son what he did during the day. His son hurried up to the fields and found all the rice plants had died. All their hard work had gone to waste, and there was no plant left to be saved. So it is important to be patient. Because of the farmer’s impatience, he lost the rice instead of helping it. 31. Why was the farmer worried about his rice? A. Because the rice was growing too fast. B. Because his son didn’t help him plant the rice. C. Because his neighbor’s rice was growing better than his. D Because the rice seemed to have stopped growing for several days. 32.

Be patient. We will get lots of rice in the late summer.” The farmer said, “I don’t think so, Son. I must do something to help it!” The next morning, the farmer ran to the rice fields and pulled the rice plants up one by one. He finally finished as the sun was setting.
