My family suffered a lot three years ago when my father died in a car accident. It      my mother, two younger brothers and me alone.
At that time, I was in a senior high school. As the eldest son, I had no choice but to       of school and work in a factory. Life went on without any wonder. I dared not ask for more and just thought about       my two brothers. However, it wasn’t easy, for I couldn’t      their tuition (学费) even if I worked from day to nigh t without rest. I also had to look after my sick mother. I wanted to go back to school, but it seemed to be an impractical idea, since I needed to work to support my family.
A thread of          appeared during those gloomy (阴暗的)days. It was a rainy dusk when I went outside into the rain and walked in the street. Suddenly the rain stopped! I raised my head, and found that “the sky” was in fact a dark blue umbrella. Then I heard a deep voice say, “Why not       without an umbrella?” It was a one-legged man, “If you run, you won’t get so wet.” His words       me deeply. Without my father’s protection, was I only a slave to fate﹙命运﹚?
While walking with him in the rain, I knew that his dream was once        by an accident. He was glad that he didn’t lose      and still “ran” on the road of life. Facing this guy, I had no pity, but admiration.
Inspired by his       , I went to a city in the south and became an insurance representative. After two years’ “running”, I got somewhere and my family situation became better        . I went back to school and eventually succeeded in being admitted to a university.
Everything is so simple: to run without an umbrella! When you run out of the       season of your life, there will be a bright sky ahead of you.
