A long time ago, there was an emperor(皇帝). One day he told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and 26 as much land area as he liked, he would give him the area of land he had covered. 27 enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and 28 as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He 29 riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. Even when he was 30 or tired, he did not stop 31 he wanted to cover as much area as possible. When he at last covered a large amount of land, he was exhausted and was 32 . Then he asked himself, “Why did I33 myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only 34 a very small area to 35 myself.”
The above story is 36 to the journey of our 37 . We push ourselves very hard every day to make more 38 , to gain power or recognition. We neglect(疏忽,忘记) our 39 , time with our family and to appreciate(欣赏) the surrounding 40 and the things we love to do. One day 41 we look back, we will 42 that we don’t really need that much, 43 then we cannot turn back time for what we have 44 .
Life is not about making money. Life is definitely(肯定地) not about work! Work is only 45 to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.
