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 that 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 38__ in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 39 of 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 condition 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 fell lightly asleep. ”
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 ) far away.
Don't you think that you can compare it with 52 itself ? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are 53 in darkness. Mind 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 great courage in the first place.
