A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the was that he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the __ of the rescue.
It is almost that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 1 , “First of all I checked up my conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from . In this way I dozed off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men to explore a mountain cave and got lost. to find a way out in the dark cave，they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of __ . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to themselves, they would probably sense a faint light shining not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with itself? When you meet with obstacles in life and work, you are lost in darkness. you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle . It seems to be a negative attitude, a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.

I was 14 when Mr. Ingram hired me as a farmhand. It was the first time I was actually for work. One day Mr. Ingram found an old truck that was in the soft,sandy soil of our field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to from our farm before his truck got caught in the mud.
Mr. Ingram explained that the truck’s owner would be soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasn’t long a local guy with a terrible reputation for fighting and stealing showed up with his two fully-grown sons. They looked really .
Calmly Mr. Ingram said, “Well, I see you want to some watermelons from us.”
There was a long before the man answered, “Yeah, I guess so. What are you for them?”
“Twenty-five cents each.”
“Well, I suppose that would be enough if you help me get my truck out of here,” the man said.
It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an awful, perhaps violent incident had been . After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me, “Son, if you don’t forgive your , you’re going to run out of friends.”

Having a son as a woman who has only really been around women can be a strange experience. I sometimes tell my husband that raising our 3-year-old boy someone dropped me off on another planet where I didn’t know the _ and had no map.
My son makes me laugh like no other, but his desires and interests sometimes do feel as _ to me as another galaxy(银河系). He has taught me so much about the bigger man in my life (my husband) and even more about _ in general.
When I get mad at my husband now, I look at our son and _ . He was once as sweet and precious as my son, even if he is so _ now.
My mother-in-law’s attitude used to be confusing to me, but now I kind of _ it. I love my son violently. If some woman ever _ him, she’d be punished for that.
_ my daughter can’t find something, she searches. But my son is _ calling, “Mommy! Daddy! Where is my toy?” It’s so much like my husband. He will also spend 0.1 seconds _ before calling out to me and _ where the butter, cheese, or coat is. My son has taught me it’s a male thing. _ , that doesn’t mean I won’t break of it. I _ will. Isn’t that what all moms say?
My husband showers every day on most _ days. But on the weekends or on vacation? Forget it. Now I understand that. My son hates bath time and _ the whole time. I have to fight with him and reward him to get _ .
Nothing is sweeter for a mom than her baby boy. My son and daughter are equally _ to me, but in a different way. He tells me he loves me and how _ I am. I wish I could bottle that sweetness and _ it for the teen years.
