When I was seven years old, my family created an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive. After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.

On the fifth day a tragedy(悲劇) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their "earthquake", one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up their tunnel building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.

My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone. Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.

Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.

Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.

You can't play, walk, skate or ride a bike on the railroad(鐵路). There are many places where the railroad tracks cross roads or streets. Many of these railroad crossings are marked(標(biāo)注) with one of the signs in the table(表) below.

1.

This sign means you are coming to a railroad crossing. Always look both sides and listen carefully to be sure a train is not coming from either direction before crossing the tracks.

2.

Many railroad crossings have a gate with flashing lights that close when a train is coming.

● NEVER go around a closed railroad gate.
