第二节 完形填空 (共20小题, 每小题1分, 满分20分)

Nearly thirty years ago, I went rock climbing for the first time with a group in New Mexico. It sounded exciting and  31  ! Anyone who has ever climbed knows that you can easily  32  where there is no place to go, or so. It seems you’re stuck. But   33  is not an option. You cannot just stand there and feel  34  for yourself. You cannot go back down, so you are  35  to become solution minded.

I held on for dear life that day, on my first climb,  36  about three quarters of the way to the top. It seemed that there was no place to go, and  37  to put my hands or feet so that I could  38  upward. But after a few minutes had passed I realized that I had to do  39  . I began to look again for a(n)  40  . I then noticed a  41  sticking out, which I might be able to grab with my hands and  42  myself up to where I could have a small foothold. I called to the instructor at the top and asked him if that rock would hold my  43  if I pulled myself up. I can  44  remember his answer, “I don’t know. Why don’t you try it and see?”

In life we many times feel “stuck”. We wonder how we got into the  45  that we are presently in. It is in those times that we need to be careful about how we define(定义)it. Have we failed,  46  is it just a setback?

Setbacks, adversity(逆境), or being stuck is never an indication that you are a  47  unless you decide that those things define your life as a failure. For people looking for a(n)  48  to be a failure, there are always plenty to choose from. But if you want your life to be successful, setbacks, adversity and being stuck are  49  stepping-stones to your success. Success minded people  50  those kinds of things for what they really are. They know that for them, they are only temporary.
