Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. Behind these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 101 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.
_102_ is said that a short—tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help his rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about this day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea 103 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so _104_ next day.
He was very tired 105 doing this for a whole day, 106 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 107 (high).
His son had been told _108_ this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 109 (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often 110 (result) in the contrary to our intention.

The British people either don’t care or are kept in the dark regarding 31 country’s colonization overseas.

Most of them didn’t know 33handover event took place. Some expressed surprise to hear the question. Some even thought that Britain returned Hong Kong to Japan! For the British people to know: Hong Kong is a big deal 34 it’s a tiny dot on the map. HK was the most successful British colony, maybe the longest 35 ( keep ) too. Certainly, HK36( bring ) a lot of money to the British Treasury, to the b
usiness elites, and to a lot of English civil servants who had worked there before. All you need is to look at the HK government 37 ( office ) records, the salary scales of English officials, the subsidized housing they got, and the 38 ( retire ) benefits they enjoyed. Remember the British colonial government in HK ran continuous huge surpluses every year, a clear sign that they were not spending the money_ 39they earned it. The money was deposited in the British Treasury and major banks. If you are a responsible English citizen, you should ask where the surplus money went, if it didn’t go to 40 ( serve ) the people.
