When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin          box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels. I was _        _ that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had _        own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧)happened. I put face to close to the glass farm. When 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 tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of         _ . They simply couldn’t stand that their tunnels were gone, although much time has passed. I still _        _ that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about natural world, but it  _        me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of _        . Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired（钦佩） 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          . Unlike the ants, we can’t give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone. We must build _        .
Giving up. I say it is not a good choice.
