完形填空。 Years ago, a farmer owned some lan

     Years ago, a farmer owned some land along the Atlantic coast. He often advertised for assistants, but he
got no reply as most people feared the terrible storms across the Atlantic coast.
     Finally, a short, thin man came to the farmer. "Well, I can sleep when the wind     1   ," said the little man.
     Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, badly in need of help, hired him. The little man worked
well around the farm and the farmer felt    2    with the man's work.
     Then one night the wind blew loudly in from the shore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer caught a
lantern (提灯) and    3    next door to the little man. He shook the little man and shouted, "Get up! A storm
is coming! Tie things down    4    they are blown away!"
     The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No, Sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows."
The farmer was very    5    and hurried outside to prepare for the storm himself.    6   , he discovered
everything was tied down.
     The farmer then    7    what his hired man had said. When you're prepared, you have    8    to fear.
Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life?
