had no choice but to have both his arms removed because of a severe accident
after drinking a lot of alcohol. From then on, he has had to __36__ on his
younger brother, who became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years.
Except for writing with his toes, he was totally unable to do __37__ else. As
the two brothers grew up together, they had their own problems and would often
__38__. Finally, his younger brother went away and lived __39__, leaving him
heartbroken and at a loss what to do.
__40__,
a misfortune befell(降临)a girl. One night she was preparing dinner when the kerosene light
on the stove was overturned, __41__ in a fire which took her hands away. Having
decidedly __42__ her sister’s willingness to help her, she
determined to be thoroughly __43__. At school, she always studied hard.Most of all she learned to be self-reliant. “I am lucky. Though my __44__ are broken, my heart can still
fly.” she wrote in her blog.
One
day, the young man and the girl were both invited to a(n)__45__
programme. The boy told the television hostess about his __46__ future, whereas
the girl was full of __47__ for her life. They were both asked to write
something on a piece of paper with their __48__. The boy: My younger brother’s arms are my arms. The girl: Broken wings, flying heart.
Both
of them had the same ordeal(痛苦经历), but their different __49__ determined the
nature of their lives. As seems the case, __50__ disasters can strike our life
at any time. How you handle the __51__ when faced with it is the true __52__
of your character. If you choose to __53__ or escape from the ordeal, it will
follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the __54__ will
turn out to be a fortune on which new __55__will arise.
