For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 32 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.It is said that a short—tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help 33 rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about 34 day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.One day, he came up with an idea 35 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.He was very tired 36 doing this for a whole day, 37 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow”38 (high).His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves ofthe crop began to wither.This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 39 (nature) course.

31. behind/In 指“在中国的这些成语故事的背后”，表示“在……之后”，用介词behind；也可理解为“在这些成语故事里”，所以也可以用介词In。
32. to help 作目的状语，用动词不定式。
33. his由上文中的a crop和下文中的his crop, the crop等可知，此处填限定词；这个急性子人当然是急于使他自己的禾苗长得快，故填his。
34. it/this/that代替前文中的(how) to help his crop grow up quickly。
35. that引导同位语从句，说明idea的具体同内容，名词性从句意义完整且不缺任何句子成分时，用that引导。
36. after /from他感到很累应是在他做了一整天事之后，表示“在……之后”，动名词前面用介词after；另外，be tired from doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“因做某事而累”。
37. but 因very happy与前面的very tired显然是转折关系，而这两句之间是逗号且没有连词，故填连词but。
38. higher指比他pluck up a few inches之前“长”得更高了，是省略了than before 的隐性的比较级。
39. natural在名词course前作定语，要用形容词。
40. results此句Being too anxious to help an event develop是动名词短语作主语，result应是谓语动词，应当考虑的是它的时态；“急于求成，往往会事与愿违”是客观真理，应当用一般现在时；动名词作主语，谓语用第三人称单数形式。
