文章大意:本文讲述了一个人在沙漠了旅行,发现了一所小房子。小房子里有一个水泵和一瓶子水。瓶子上贴着一张黄色的纸条,上面写着:“你必须先把水放进水泵里,然后才能取水!离开前别忘了,再装满水!”这个人想“如果我只考虑自己,只要我喝下瓶子里的水。我可以活着走出这片沙漠!如果我按照纸条上说的那样做,我可能会渴死。我会冒险还是不冒险?” 最后,他决定照纸条上说的去做。果然抽出水来了。这个故事告诉我们“要得到一些东西,首先要学会付出”的道理。

He went to draw water (抽水), but he couldn’t pump water no matter how hard he tried. He sat on the ground _________. Just at that time, he saw a small bottle with a cork (瓶塞). There was a yellow _________ posted on the bottle, which read, “You must put the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don’t _________ before you leave, refill it with water!” He pulled the cork and found the bottle was really filled with water! He could hardly believe his _________.
At this moment, he thought. “If I only think about myself, as long as I drink the water in the bottle, I can be _________ to go out of this desert! If I do as the note told, I might be _________ to death. Will I take the risk or not?”
Finally, he made a _________ to do what the note told him and began to draw water with his shaking hands. Sure enough, the water really _________!
