完形填空阅读下面的短文,掌握其大意,然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。

One day, a small business owner decided to ______ because he'd had enough of the endless work, enough of the lack of payback, enough of the uncomfortable loneliness.

He went into the forest to have one last talk to the wise man he met before. "Wise man," he said. "Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't give up?"

The answer surprised him. "Look   ______  you," the wise man said. "Do you see the fern(蕨类植物) and the bamboo?"

"Yes," the man said.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo, I took very good care of them. So both of them got enough food and water. They enjoyed    ______  in spring and were protected from the storms in autumn. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its large long leaves soon ______  the forest floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed (种子).  ______ I did not give up on the bamboo. In the second year, the fern grew even better than before but nothing came from the bamboo seed. In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not give up. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. Still I would not give up and I waited. "

"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout(芽) came out from the earth. Compared to the fern, it was   ______  . But day by day the sprout grew bigger. Within six months, the sprout had reached a height of 100 feet. It had spent the five years growing roots(根). Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to stay alive."

"Do you know, young man, that all this time you have been struggling, you have been growing? Grow the roots that you need to produce your ______  ."

"Don't compare yourself to others. The bamboo has a different purpose from the fern, but they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come. You will rise high."

The small business owner thought this was good advice. He left the forest to practise what the wise man had told him.

When it seems like nothing is happening in your life, even with all the work that you're doing, remember that you're probably growing roots, not fruit. Being hard-working and ______   , one day not long from now, you will have a great harvest.
