In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.He got into a life boat, but his supplies were 21 .His chances of surviving were small. 22 when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much 23 than he was when he started, but alive.
His 24 of how he survived is fascinating.His cleverness —how he 25 to catch fish, how he evaporated(蒸發(fā)) sea water to 26 fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that 27 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no 28 in continuing the struggle.He was starved and 29 worn-out.Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people 30 these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going.Many people in 31 desperate circumstances 32 in or go mad.Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 33 difficulties.
"I tell myself I can 34 it," wrote Callahan in his book.-Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate.I tell myself these things over and over, 35 up courage..."
I wrote that down after 1 read it.It 36 me as something important.And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 37 off or when my problems seemed too terrible.And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my 38 .
The truth is,our circumstances are only bad 39 to something better.But others have been though the much worse,that is,in comparison with what others have been through,you’re fortunate.Tell this to yourself over sad over again,and it will help you 40 though the rough situations with a little more courage.

I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once 1 and did not know the 2 very well. I was on the 3 after I had made some enquires.
At Ashville, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut. The short cut was to 4 several hills and was dangerous. I hesitated for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be 5 .
Something strange happened after I drove a long 6 and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to 7 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the 8 that I had made the 9 mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it 10 , I decided to go on. “If 11 people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I 12 myself.
The short cut, to my surprise, was not that 13 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road, 14 up and down two low 15 . There was 16 traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and 17 with cows and horses. My fear was 18 with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立體聲), I drove on and 19 the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me 20 . It was just in this light-heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.

I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.
When life gets you 24 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never 25 , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be 26 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas 27 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them 28 you’ll start to feel whole again.
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to 29 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, 30 will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?
