I love eating persimmons(柿子). But you can't get them until autumn. If you try them before the right time, they probably 17 bad.
In Grade Six, because of my poor grades, my parents were 18 that I wouldn't be able to get into an excellent middle school. They 19 me to study harder, but I didn't really understand why they were so anxious.
Summer came, and I studied hard. The hot weather made me 20 and I couldn't focus on my textbooks. But every time I wanted to stop 21 , Mom would shout, "Hey, you! Think about your 22 . If you don't work hard, you'll regret (后悔) it!" I had to sit back down again and return to my textbooks. But all I 23 was playing with my friends and eating persimmons.
My mom would say to me, with a serious look on 24 face, "If a persimmon tree doesn't grow in summer, it can't bear( 结出 ) fruit in autumn ! Only by hard work, 25 you get the good result of your work. "
Although I didn't understand it at that time, I 26 came to see the truth of her words. A few months later, I succeeded in getting into the key middle school. It was 27 . Walking in my new school, I could see quite a few persimmon trees. The fruit was so red that it looked as if it was on fire. Suddenly, I 28 that working hard may be bitter but its fruit is sweet.
My mom was right: If a persimmon tree doesn't grow 29 summer, it can't bear fruit in autumn. I smiled.
I had grown through the summer 30 now it was autumn.
I tasted my success and enjoyed the fruits of my labors!
