Face adversity(逆境 )with a smile
I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.He 36 , "You mean fortunately." He explained that I should be glad of the 37 exercise that the hill provided.
My 38 to the hill has now changed.I used to 39 as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to 40 and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend. 41 , I have a smile of 42 as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and 43 .We cannot achieve anything with a/an 44 life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to 45 an University degree.She wrote, "Character cannot be 46 in ease and quiet.Only through 47 of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved."
One of the main 48 of success in life is our attitude towards adversity.At times we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. 49 we cannot choose the adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs amputated(截肢)following a flying accident.He was 50 to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces.He was a/an 51 to others during the war.He said, "Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that.That's nonsense. 52 your mind, you'll never 53 crutches(拐杖)or a stick, then have a go at everything.Go to school, join in all the games you can.Go 54 you want to.But never, never let them 55 you that things are too difficult or impossible."
