One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, “Look！There's a horseshoe. Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said, “It isn't worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but he picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries(櫻桃)．

The father and the son went on. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasn't a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time, his father dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while, his father dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost no time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.

And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, “My dear son, if you had bent(彎腰) down early to pick up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries. Always remember that he who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things.”

閱讀短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填人一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。

We dislike too hot days. Luckily, we have air conditioners and fridges. How did Chinese people stay cool in the hot season before they have air conditioners and fridges?

The most common way Chinese people in the past kept cool was to use fans. Many fans had poems or drawings on them.

 Beginning in the Sui dynasty(朝代), Chinese people started to use porcelain pillows(瓷枕). These pillows felt cool, so people could sleep well on them.

People in old times didn't have fridges to make ice. Instead, they collected ice in winter and kept it underground, sometimes in wells(井). When summer came, they got the ice out and put it in their living rooms to cool them down.

Rich people and members of the king family had more expensive ways to keep cool. As early as the Han dynasty, some people used a tool(工具) like modern electrical fans. It was made of a wheel(輪子) and some fan blades(葉片). A person would pull a rope to make the wheel spin(轉(zhuǎn)) and then the blades would spin around fast.

In the Tang dynasty, people found a way to make their whole house cool. They built their houses next to the water, used some machines to carry water to the top of the house, and made it flow down from the eaves(屋檐). This man-made waterfall brought cool air into the house.
