He was a statesman(政治家) and worked out many reforms(改革)for the state, like paying more attention to farming and giving rewards(报酬)to soldiers who were successful when at war. But these reforms were not easily carried out(执行)at first. Most people didn’t trust Shang Yang. In order to solve this problem, Shang Yang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin capital. Many people came to see him and the pole. Then, in front of the crowd, Shang Yang said loudly, “The man who takes this pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces.” It was a simple job and the reward was so large. However, some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought Shang Yang was making a joke. Hearing no answer, Shang Yang stepped forward and said, “The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces.” This reward was unbelievably large. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang Yang gave the man 50 gold pieces. After that, the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang Yang did about the pole. They believed he was a man of his word.

The emperor surprisingly found how hard the artist had practiced during the past months. Till this moment, he finally realized that no matter what people did, the process(过程)was more important than the result.  Perhaps this is the secret of life. As a parent, there is never any activity that is too small or too unimportant. I know a man who took his two children on a trip to Europe last year.　4　The reason was that they were so young that they wouldn’t remember anything about the trip. His answer was that even if they couldn’t remember what they did on the trip, the benefits(益处)of the experiences would help them in the future and stay with them for the rest of their lives.  　5　Making the best of every moment must truly be the secret of a happy and successful life.  　　根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。 A.Some friends said he had made a bad decision.
