Ⅳ. Read and complete the tasks. 阅读并完成任务。
Here is a story. In a village, an old farmer plants a field of rice. Every day he goes to the field to watch the seedlings（秧苗）grow. He sees the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day. But still, he thinks they are growing too slowly. He is quite worried. “How can the plants grow faster?” he wonders. He can’t sleep and thinks about it all night. Suddenly, he has an idea. He jumps out of bed and rushes to the field. By the moonlight, he begins working on the rice seedlings in the mud. One by one, he pulls up the young plants by half an inch.
When he finishes pulling each one, it is already morning. He says to himself, “What a wonderful idea! Look, I have helped them grow. See how much they have grown in one night!” Happily, he goes back home. He tells his family about this. His wife and his son are shocked. When the sun rises, the family go to the field and are heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.
This is a famous Chinese fable（寓言故事）, which means “to pull up the seedlings to help them grow” in English. The moral（寓意）of the story is that we should follow the rules about the way crops grow.
