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(悲剧) 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.

I learned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family created one. First, we put

clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive. Shortly after the chilly ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to

do. After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs.

With my mom ' s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants. One day an incident struck

the ant farm. The pages of the diary, still wrinkled(皱巴巴) where tear drops fell, indicate the great loss.

'I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally knocked it over and all the tunnels caved in.

Although the ants survived(幸存) their earthquake, one by one they began to die.

I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm.

My mother reported that the ants were dying of "frustration." They simply could not stand the reality that their

tunnels had been destroyed.

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 ants were a study in the benefits

of teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that

they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each labored at their task.

The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key ingredients to success. But there

was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment. Unlike the ants, we have to

realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build another. Giving up, I say, is not a choice.
