福建省南安一中10-11学年高二上学期期中考试

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it　 36　　 several obstacles(障碍) in its path. And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (绕道).　 37　 one point, the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide. After some　 38　　 thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked　 39　 it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was　 40　 by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in　 41　 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.　 42　　 this ant, like the other two-legged creatures　 43　 on the earth, also shares human failings.

After some time the ant　 44　 reached its destination --- a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its　 45　 home. It was there that the ant met its　 46　 . How could that large feather possibly　 47　 such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this　 48　 and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the　 49　 and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through　 50　 it began its journey and in the end the feather was　 51　 more than a burden. Isn’t our　 52　 like that?

We worry about our families; we worry about the　 53　 of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens --- the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to　 54　 that at the destination they are　 55　 and we can’t take them with us.
