阅读理解 A man named Joe and his wife moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were settling into the new community when a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the dirt of his new land. Joe took that statement as that there was actual gold in the land. He thought to himself, "I have three strong sons, I'll tell them about it." Needless to say, his sons actually began digging in one corner with a certain width and kept going until they got to the end. Once they finished they would start another piece and go back the other direction. They began to realize that digging for gold was fun! Seeing that, Joe thought he would plant some crops where the dirt had been turned thoroughly. He planted corn, tomatoes, and potatoes. His sons continued to dig through the soil, determined to find gold. As each different crop became ready to be harvested, Joe started to realize that there was more than he and his family could ever eat. One of Joe's neighbors suggested that he set up a vegetable stand（摊）. Joe and his wife did that very thing. This process went on for three years and Joe and his wife became quite rich from it. They were even able to send their sons off to college. Remember at the beginning of the story Joe was told by his new neighbor that there was gold in the land? Well, the truth is, Joe's understanding of the English language was less than perfect. His new neighbor friend actually told him that his land had rich soil. Go out and pretend that there is gold in all your challenges so that you can be inspired to motivate（激励）yourself to allow the fate（命运）to provide all that you need.
