Ants are tiny but amazing insects. They have a four-part philosophy (哲学).

First, ants never give up. If they’re heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll look for another way. They’ll climb over, and they’ll climb around. ____1____ What a neat (极好的) philosophy to never give up looking for a way to get where they’re supposed to go!

Second, ants think winter all summer. You can’t be so naive (幼稚的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering (收集) their winter food in summer. An ancient story says, “Don’t build your house on the sand in summer.” There is some reason in what it says. It is important to think ahead. ____2____ You have to think about rocks when you enjoy the sand and sun.

Third, they stay hopeful. During the winter, ants remind themselves, “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be out of here.” ____3____ If it turns cold again, they’ll go back, but then they’ll come out again if it is warm. They never lose hope.

And here is the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? ____4____ What an unbelievable philosophy, the “all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy.
