Horror gripped(紧握)the heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. Caught in a 　36　 　with continuous gunfire whizzing(飕飕地移动) 　37　 　his head, the soldier asked his lieutenant(中尉), if he might 　38　 　into the “No Man’s Land” between the trenches to bring his 　39　 　comrade back.

“You 　40　 　go”,　　　 said the Lieutenant. “but I don’t think it will be 　41　 　it. Your friend is 　42　 　dead and you may 　43　 　your own life away.” The Lieutenant’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway.

Miraculously (不可思议地) he 　44　 　to reach his friend, hoisted (扯起) him onto his　 45　 　, and　 46　 　him back to their company’s trench. As the two of them 　47　 　in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer cheeked the 　48　 　soldier, and then looked 　49　 　at his friend．“I told you it wouldn’t be worthy of doing it,” he said．“Your friend is 　50　 　, and you are mortally wounded.”

“It was worthy of doing it, though, sir,” the soldier said．

“How do you mean ‘worthy of doing it’?” responded the Lieutenant. “Your friend has already died!”

“Yes sir,” the private answered．“But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive, and I had the 　51　 　of hearing him say, ‘Jim, I 　52　 you’d come.’”

　53　 　in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it.

Take up all your 　54　 　and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not

　55　 not doing it later in life.
