　　阅读材料

　　James Bender， in his book How to Talk Well tells the story of a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he won a blue ribbon. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.

　　The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. "How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year？" the reporter asked. "Why，" said the farmer， "didn't you know？ The wind picks up pollen（花粉） from the ripening corn and carries it from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn， cross-pollination（异花受粉） will slowly reduce the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn， I must help my neighbors grow good corn."

　　He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors' corn also improves. The lesson for each of us is this： If we are to grow good corn， we must help our neighbors grow good corn.

　　参考范文

　　To everyone's surprise， a farmer's corn always won a blue ribbon in the state fair every year. This remained a secret for a long time until a reporter learned the truth while he interviewed the farmer. He shared his seed corn with his neighbors， for he knew very well that if he wanted to grow good corn， he must help others grow good corn as well， or the quality of his corn would be affected.

　　So it is in our life. Those who choose to live well should help the poor to live well， for the value of a life is measured by what the life brings to others. In fact， we're all members of a big family. Obviously， no one can live normally by himself without keeping in touch with others. Therefore， we should help each other and improve our lives. Only in this way can we get our dreams realized.
令人惊讶的是，一个农民的玉米在国家博览会上每年都能赢得一条蓝丝带。这一直是一个秘密很长一段时间，直到记者了解到真相，而他采访了农民。他和他的邻居分享他的种子，因为他知道如果他想要种植好的玉米，他必须帮助其他人种植好的玉米，或者他的玉米的质量会受到影响。

所以这是我们的生活。那些选择生活得好的人应该帮助穷人生活得好，因为生命的价值是衡量生活给别人带来的。事实上，我们都是一个大家庭的所有成员。很显然，没有人能够正常生活，没有与别人保持联系。因此，我们应该互相帮助，改善我们的生活。只有这样，我们才能实现我们的梦想。
