Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. 1 these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 2 (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 3 rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about 4 day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea 5 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.
He was very tired 6 doing this for a whole day, 7 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 8 (high).
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 9 (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often 10 (result) in the contrary to our intention.Behind

(答案→)Behind
解析：
【小题1】 “behind the story/ the proverbs…” 在故事/预言背后。
【小题2】动词不定式做目的状语。
【小题3】此处有“help sb. do sth.”，所以，不该再填入其他动词，而选用his/the特指“他自己的庄稼”。
【小题4】指代前文所提到的事情：主人公想要庄稼快点长大的愿望。
【小题5】that 引导后面的句子，作同位语从句。
【小题6】after + V-ing” 在做某事之后。
【小题7】连词“but”表转折，对比前句的“tired”和后句的“happy”。
【小题8】表述在主人公揠苗之后，庄稼比以前高了，因此此处该用形容词比较级。
【小题9】在形容词性物主代词“their”和名词“course”之间，用nature 的形容词形式 natural 修饰 “course”，意思为“自然的过程”
【小题10】“result”在此处为动词作谓语，主语是“Being too anxious to…” ,动名词做主语表单数。
