高中英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法填空:短文題型基礎(chǔ)練習(xí) Test 40

Don't worry if you have problems!

Which is easy to say until you are in the midst of a really big one, I know.

But the only people I am aware 　61　 who don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. Most communities have at 　62　 (little) one. We call them cemeteries（墓地）.

If you're breathing, you have difficulties. It's the way of life. And believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain.

Maybe you have seen the Great Barrier Reef, 　63　 (stretch) some 1,800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an 　64　 (interest) question. “I notice that the lagoon（環(huán)礁湖） side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, 　65　 the ocean side is vibrant and colorful,” a traveler observed. “Why is this?”

The guide gave an interesting answer: “The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly 　66　 (test) by wind, waves, storms — surges of power. It has to fight for survival every day of its life. 　67　 it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces.” Then he added this telling note: “That's the way it is with every 　68　 (live) organism.”

That's 　69　 it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency. Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness. 　70　 , you have problems — no problem! Just tell yourself, “Here I grow again”
