　　Last summer, I traveled to Meixian County with my friends．It is a small county at the foot of Taibai Mountain in Shanxi Province．We stayed there for one week and I 　　1　　 my vacation because of the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain．?

　　I will 　　2　　 forget the day when we climbed the main peak(山顶)．The 　　3　　 in that area changes very quickly：it was sunny in the early morning when we set out, 　　4　　 it began to rain heavily when we were only half way up．Soon, we were all 　　5　　 and some of us wanted to go home．They said：“There is nothing 　　6　　 here．We came to see the scenery, 　　7　　 the pouring rain!” However, the guide 　　8　　：“Since we have got wet already, why not just go on with our journey?”?

　　So we carried on up the mountain and, 　　9　　 we even noticed, the rain stopped and the sun was smiling again．When we reached the top of the peak, the view was unique．The sky was 　　10　　 and the air fresh．The gentle wind made us feel cool．All the clouds were just like waves in the ocean, 　　11　　 and falling under our feet．We could only see the peaks of mountains, as if they were 　　12　　 floating sparsely(稀疏的)in the ocean．It was a really magical experience．

　　You will never see the sun 　　15　　 you don’t try your best to climb to the top of the mountain．If we had stopped and gone home when the rain was very heavy, we would never have seen the beautiful scenery 　　16　　 the clouds．I think this is also true in 　　17　　．

　　As the song says：“You won’t see the rainbow unless you have gone through the thunder and storm．” I think in the 　　18　　, whenever I have any difficulties in my life, I will remember the 　　19　　 from the top of Taibai Mountain and the 　　20　　 which touched my heart deeply：there is no rain above the clouds．
