In 1982,Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He got in?to a lifeboat,but his supplies were 28 . His chances of surviving were small. 29 when three fishermen found him 76 days later,he was alive―much 30 than he was when he started. But his 31 of how he survived was fascinating. His cleverness―how he 32 to catch fish,how he evaporated (蒸发) sea water to 33 fresh water―was very interesting.
But the thing that 34 my eye was how he man?aged to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost,and there seemed no 35 in continuing the struggle. He was starved and 36 worn out. Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people 37 these kinds of circumstances? they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in 38 desperate circumstances 39 in or go mad. Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 40 difficulties.
"I tell myself I can 41 it," wrote Callahan in his book. Compared to what others have been through,I'm fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over,42 up courage. I wrote that down after I read it. It 43 me as something important. And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 44 off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I've said it,I have always come back to my 45 . The truth is,our circumstances are only bad 46 to something better. But others have been through the much worse,that is,in comparison with what others have been through,you're fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again,and it will help you 47 through the rough situations with a little more courage.

Yu Pengnian is an 88-year-old real estate Chinese businessman. He amassed (积聚) a fortune of$1. 3 billion during his career but in?stead of keeping the money and living like an emperor,he decided to give it all away. All of his fortune will be spent in helping poor Chi?nese students get a better education.
And Yu isn't the only superrich person in China who has this spirit of giving. Chen Guangbiao,a Jiangsu recycling tycoon,has given millions of dollars to charity (慈善) and promises to give all of his money to charity when he dies.
Yu and Chen are among the many businessmen who have become prosperous during China's economic rise. An American business magazine,Forbes,estimates that there are 117 billionaires in China and hundreds of thousands of millionaires. What sets Yu and Chen apart from the rest,though,is their tremendous generosity (慷慨，大方) when it comes to donating money to charity.
One day Bill Gates and Warren Buffett came to Beijing. Gates and Buffett,two of the world's richest men,are also the world's biggest philanthropists. They invi?ted fifty of China's richest people to have dinner with them and talk about the spirit of giving. At first,only a few people accepted their invitation. It seemed some of the invited guests were afraid that Buffett and Gates were going to pressure them into giving their wealth to charity.
A lot of people are angry at the billionaires who are not willing to give away their fortunes. They criticize them for not caring about the poor and the less fortu?nate. But I think this criticism is wrong. A gift,any gift,should come from the heart. Instead of criticism,these reluctant billionaires should be encouraged to fol?low the examples of Yu Pengnian and Chen Guangbiao. Encouragement is always a better strategy than criticism. As we say in English, "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar."

A. The author wants to tell us that flies prefer honey to vinegar.
B. The author wants to prove that encouragement is always a better strategy than criticism when it comes to charity.
C. The English saying expresses the main theme of the passage.
D. The author wants to criticize those billionaires who are not willing to give away their fortunes and not caring about the poor and the less fortunate.
