I should have no problem crossing the desert, she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can't reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.
    At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze （微风） can cross the desert, so can a stream.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That's because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”
    “That's because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate （蒸发） into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor （蒸汽） across the desert and let it leave as rain. The min will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you're a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
    The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.

A. Because she didn’t believe the desert.
B. Because she didn’t like the breeze.
C. Because she wasn’t able to fly.
D. Because she didn’t want to give up her shape.

A. By evaporating into the breeze.                      B. By forming a river.
C. By disappearing into the sand.                        D. By changing her nature.
（4）What can we learn from the story?
