"How can you       your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked in surprise.  "You know they are taking part in the competition with you each year."

But the farmer said            , "Didn't you know? The wind         pollen {花粉)from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. It will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "

As a great man says, "We make a living by what we  get; we make a life by what we give." We can't   live        food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get,   but   by           we can give others.

Giving,      taking, makes us   different   from other animals.  So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find   happiness in their lives.
