Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或詞語(yǔ)完成短文）

People sometimes look at nature and fail to see its perfection (完美). For example, they look at a plant and think, “How much better this plant would be if only its flowers were more beautiful!” Or they see a summer rain and think, “If I had ______ the world I would have made it never rain when people are on holiday.”

Such a ______ happened long ago when a traveller was resting under an apple tree. As he looked around, he saw a big pumpkin in a nearby garden. He noticed that the vine (藤) on which the big pumpkin grew was quite weak. ______ him, he saw small round apples hanging on strong limbs (樹(shù)枝). “How stupid nature is!” the man thought to himself. “If nature had half a brain, it would have made these big pumpkins grow on this strong tree ______ on the weak vine.”

The traveller was proud that he was smarter than the creator of all things in the natural world. Just then, a small apple fell from the tree, hitting him on the head. He quickly saw the defect (不足之處) in his thinking. He learned how things might have been different if it had been the huge pumpkin that had hit him on the head. “I clearly would have ______ my life in such an accident,” he said.

As he went on his way, he had new admiration (欽佩) for nature.
