A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the __36__ was he found himself unable to ask for help-his mobile phone went out of __37__ as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to __38__ in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the __39__ of the rescue.
It is almost __40__ that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his __41__: “First of all I checked up my __42__ conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no __43__ to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from __44__.  In this way I dozed (打盹) off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the __45__ of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men __46__ to explore a mountain cave and got lost. __47__ to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of __48__. Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the __49__ people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the __50__ of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to __51__ themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with __52__ itself? When you meet with obstacles in life and work, you are lost in darkness. __53__ you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle __54__. It seems to be a negative attitude, __55__ a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.
