　　No living thing can live 3 . Every living thing depends(依靠) on 4 things in its environment. When something 5 , it affects(影响) something else. If a non-living thing like water becomes 6 to find, plants will be affected. If all plants 7 , the animals that eat plants will be affected.

　　Weather, such as(例如) temperature, wind and rain, can change an environment. 8 can change an environment, too. Some things that people do cause(引起) 9 change or only a small change in the environment. For example, people can 10 the forest and just travel around. They can cut down only a few trees and 11 change the environment very much. On the other hand(另一方面), some things that people do cause 12 change. Sometimes they can change 13 environment by cutting down a forest.

　　 14 changes are bad. If we cut down a forest to build houses or plant crops(庄稼), this may not be 15 . But what would happen if we cut down all trees in all forests 16 these things or if we didn't 17 some and plant something else?

Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to   1  with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to   2   food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a   3   farm.

When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper   4   what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper   5   his dream of having a horse farm one day. He   6   drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.

The next day he handed   7   in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.”   8   the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not   9   for a young boy like you.   10   a horse farm needs a lot of money.

After school he thought about it   12  . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making   13   changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   14  .”

Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.

There once was a master who went to India. In those times, we didn't have airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India 1  . And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is 2 because they can't grow much 3  the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.
So he 4 and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees."(印度货币) Two rupees in India is 5 ; it's like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His 6  watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became 7 . As he coughed terribly , he 8  up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies（辣椒）! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People use them 9  a condiment（作料）, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them by the handful like that; they're not 10 !" So the silly master said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, 11  now I'll eat them. It's my 12 !"
And you think that master was silly, right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. we still continue just because we've 13  money, time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.
So 14  you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to 15  .
