A farmer once owned an old mule（騾子）. One day, the mule fell into a nearby well, and he began to 　36 and made a lot of loud noise. After carefully assessing the 　37 , the farmer felt sympathy for the mule, but 　38 that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving, then he called his 　39 together and told them what had happened and 　40 them to help shovel（鏟）some dirt to bury the old mule in the 　41 and put him out of his suffering.

Hearing many people coming to help, the old mule initially was 　42 …But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, a thought suddenly 　43 him. He was 　44 that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his 　45 , he should shake it off and step up! So he did, blow after blow.

As you might have guessed, it was not long 48 the old mule finally, stepped over the wall of the well, painful and tired. What would otherwise 49 him, actually blessed him because of the manner in which he 　50 his adversity（逆境）.

51 is life! As long as we face our problems and respond to them 52 , and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity, the adversities that come along to bury us 53 have the potential to 　54 and bless us! Forgiveness, tolerance, hope and perseverance are 　55 in shaking it off and stepping up out of the wells in which we find ourselves.

The website FarmersOnly.com calls itself an online dating and friendship finder. The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.
As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning.
So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. “You don’t have to be a farmer to be on FarmersOnly.com, but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s Heartland.” 
You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.
Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website, singlesinag.org, says there are more than 1,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.
【小題1】Jerry Miller started singlesinag.org in order to     .

A．help farmersB．support traditions
C．understand farmersD．represent farmers
【小題2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?
A．She dislikes city lifestyle.
B．She prefers late night coffee
C．Country life isn’t well understood.
D．It’s tiring to get up early.
【小題3】Which of the following is true of singlesinag.org?
A．Its services are free.
B．It provides dating services.
C．Only farmers can become its members.
D．Farmers in France can’t benefit from it.
【小題4】The author of the text intends to     .
A．a(chǎn)dvertise for the two websites
B．introduce two websites
C．encourage social activities
D．urge readers to help farmers
【小題5】 It can be inferred from the text that     .
