My parents ran a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job, when I was six years old, was 36 the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young, so he taught me 37 to do it well, telling me to 38 to shine the shoes again if the customer wasn’t 39 .
I was proud of working in the restaurant 40 I was also working for the good of the family. But my father 41 said that I had to meet certain standards(标准) to be part of the team. I 42 to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the 43 . I was 44 paid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of suggesting to Dad that he 45 give me $10 a week. He said, “OK. How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And for the times you bring in your friends 46 free soft drinks?” He 47 the amount of money I owed him, about $40 a week.
I remember returning to Seattle after being 48 in the US Army for about two years. I had just been promoted(升职) to Captain at that time. And full of pride, I walked into my parents’ restaurant, but the 49 thing Dad said was, “How about your 50 up tonight?” I couldn’t 51 my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But 52 didn’t matter. As far as Dad was concerned, I was just 53 member of the team. I reached for the mop(拖把).Working for Dad has taught me that the devotion(奉献) to a 54 is above all. It has nothing to do with 55 that team is for a family restaurant or the US Army.

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would 16 the peace and quiet, watch the water rush 17 and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of 18 in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees 19 under pressure from the wind and watch them 20 gracefully to their original position after the wind had 21 .
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind. When used in 22 to a person this word means the ability to readily 23 from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's 24 .
Have you ever felt like you are at your 25 point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the 26 you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, 27 exhausted and you most likely stood 28 physical symptoms.
Life is a 29 of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy 30 that take you close to your breaking point, bend, 31 don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A 32 of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal (考验). With 33 for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to 34 if the final result is worth having.
If life gets 35 and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!
