【分析】
本题是英语完形填空，解题思路为：先通读短文把握核心内容（守株待兔的寓言故事），再结合上下文语境、词汇词义辨析、固定搭配、逻辑关系逐个分析选项，选出最符合文意的答案。
【解析】
21. 句意：当他在田里工作时，看到一只兔子。农民的工作地点是田地，factory（工厂）、restaurant（餐厅）不符合，选C。
22. 句意：兔子撞上树桩后死了。die（死亡）符合故事逻辑，dance（跳舞）、laugh（笑）不符合，选A。
23. 句意：农民停止工作。他原本在劳作，停下的是工作，选B。
24. 句意：他把兔子带回家，做了一顿美味晚餐。cook dinner（做晚餐）是固定搭配，order（订购）、find（找到）不符合，选B。
25. 句意：为他自己做晚餐。主语是he，对应反身代词himself，选B。
26. 句意：他开心地自言自语，“多好的一天！”因意外得到兔子，情绪是开心的，选B。
27. 句意：今天不用努力工作，却得到兔子。前后为转折关系，用but，选C。
28. 句意：所以我不需要这么努力工作。don't need to do（不需要做）符合语法，should、could后直接加动词原形，选B。
29. 句意：等着兔子来撞树桩。呼应前文兔子撞树的情节，选C。
30. 句意：他每天来到树桩处。守株待兔的行为是每天去，every day（每天）符合，选A。
31. 句意：他花很多时间在树桩周围。time是不可数名词，much修饰不可数，few、many修饰可数，选B。
32. 句意：再也没看到兔子撞进树桩。run into（撞上）是固定搭配，选C。
33. 句意：收获时田里长满了草。因放弃种地，田地荒芜长草，选A。
34. 句意：不该把一切交给运气。everything（一切）符合文意，选B。
35. 句意：如果想要好结果，就要去争取。if引导条件状语从句，选C。
