日得一悟 14 Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.

按要求填入適當(dāng)?shù)脑~以完成故事：

Don't worry if you have problems! Which is easy to say until you are in the midst of a really big ___1__, I know. But the only people I am aware__2___ __3___ don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. Most communities have__4___ least one. We call them cemeteries. If you're breathing, you have difficulties. It's the way of life. And ___5__(belief) it or not, most of your problems may actually be good___6__ you! Let me explain.

如果你遇到了難題，請不要焦慮,！我知道,，這只是說起來容易做起來難。我想只有那些進(jìn)了墳?zāi)沟牟艜]有難題了吧,。只要活著,，就會有困難。這是生活的方式,。而且無論你相信與否,，你遇到的大部分困難都會對你有益。我來解釋一下吧,。

Maybe you have seen the Great Barrier Reef, __7___(stretch) some 1,800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef. ___8__ one tour, the guide was asked an interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, __9___ the ocean side is vibrant and __10___(color)," a traveler observed. "Why is this?"

也許你已經(jīng)參觀過“大堡礁”,，從幾內(nèi)亞到澳大利亞綿延1，800英里,。導(dǎo)游會定期帶游客參觀該珊瑚礁,。有一次，一名游客向?qū)в翁崃艘粋€有意思的問題：“我注意到,，瀉湖一邊的珊瑚礁看起來很蒼白,，沒有生氣。而海洋一邊的珊瑚礁則是艷麗奪目的,。這是為什么呢,？”

The guide gave an interesting answer: "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, ___11__ no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly ___12__ tested by wind, waves, storms —— surges of power. It has to fight for survival every day of its life. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts. It grows __13___(health). It grows strong. And it reproduces."

導(dǎo)游的答案也很有意思：“瀉湖一邊的珊瑚礁依然在水里，它們不必為了生存而斗爭,。所以,，它們早早的就失去了生命。而海洋一邊的珊瑚礁則要不斷接受風(fēng),、海浪,、暴風(fēng)雨等力量的考驗。每天，它們都要為了生存而做斗爭,。在挑戰(zhàn)和考驗中,，它們發(fā)生了變化，適應(yīng)了新的環(huán)境,。它們變得健康而且強壯,。接著，它們有了再生的能力,?！?/p>

Then he added this telling note: "That's the way it is__14___ every living organism."That's __15___ it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come __16___(live)! Like coral __17___(pound) by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Being mentally and emotionally ___18__(stress) can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency. ___19__(spirit) testing can produce strength of character and __20___(faith). So, you have problems —— no problem! Just tell yourself, "Here I grow again. "

然后，他又補充了一句：“這是每一個生命有機體存活的方式,?！痹摲▌t同樣適用于人類。挑戰(zhàn)和考驗讓我們生機勃勃,！我們成長著,，如同被大海撞擊的珊瑚礁。身體的需要能夠讓我們變得強壯,。思想和情感的壓力能夠讓我們變得意志堅強,、有韌性。精神的考驗?zāi)軌蚣訌妭€性的和忠實度,。所以,，只要告訴你自己“我又成長了”，你的困難就不再是困難,！
