PERSEVERANCE 毅力／坚忍

只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作终是(never...without)会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。

我们国父孙中山先生是一个最理想的例了.致力国民革命四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。结果，他赢了。中华民国诞生了。

There were two lazy men who 　21　 　did any work at all. They used to spend the whole day sitting in the sun sleeping 　22 　　talking about what they would do when they were rich. Many years went by in this way and the two men remained poor. One summer day as they were sitting 　　23　 　on a bench in the sunshine, one of the men jumped 　24　 　his feet without warning and exclaimed(大声喊), “We can’t go on　 25　 this. We’ve got to do something to make some money.”

“　 26　 for example?” asked his friend in a tiresome voice.

“We’ll go to the mountains and 　27　 　snails,” said the first man.

The second man didn’t want to go out at first. But in the end his friend 　28　 　him. They each took a bucket and set 　29　 for the mountains. They walked very slowly. When they reached the hill, they looked as if it might have a lot of snails on it. The first man said, “Let’s work　 　30　 . I’ll go up this side with my bucket, and you go up the other side with yours, we’ll meet at the top.”

They worked all day and in the evening they met on top of the hill. “How many did you get?” asked the first man. “Two,” said the second man. “I already got three, but one got away.”
