Question

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle t miles to my company, but unfortunately there is a big hill on my way. He replied, “You are 1.” He explained that I should be thankful for the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to2as I approached it, but now I think that this hill will exercise my heart and lungs and it will3me to lose weight and get fit. This hill is my friend. I even feel sorry for those who4to go to a gym and sit on exercise bicycles5I can get the same value for free.
We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university6. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed 7. Only through experiences of trial and 8can the soul be strengthened, ambition 9and success achieved.”
One of the main factors of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境).10we face hardships, problems and difficulties. We cannot11the adversity, but we can choose our attitude towards it. Douglas Bader was twenty-one when he had both legs cut off following a flying12. He was determined to fly again and became one of the leading 13in Britain. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone 14tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Make up your mind, and you’11 succeed.”
Great people rise from adversity. Their common quality is that they did not become 15in face of adversity. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge and they won.
