  One weekend on match day, we arrived   2   because of the bad traffic.We quickly found our seats and settled in.As I looked around, I   3   we were sitting with a couple who had a(n)  4   child-with only one leg.We could hear the   5   in his voice when he shouted,“Mom, look!The goalie is going to get the   6   now!”Shamelessly, I listened to him and the excitement and joy in his voice as he praised the   7   time and time again.

  During the   8  , we went and told our son what was truly   9   in the bleachers(露天看台), and he went up into the bleachers,   10   himself to the parents and sat next to that little kid.He   11   talking to him and before long the boy was   12   our son's gloves and helmet.When the   13   was about to start again, my son told him to   14   the game as he went back out on the ice.The small child was so excited that he kept telling his parents,“The goalie is my friend.He is so   15  !”

    16   the game, I saw my son talking to the coaches before leaving the ice.He then   17   over towards us and motioned(打手势)to the boy's dad to come   18  .He then asked him to give the game ball to the little boy.Everyone sitting in that section of the bleachers had   19   in their eyes and the biggest smiles on their faces.Needless to say we are very   20   hockey parents and our son is our new hero!

  Fifty years ago, the stereotypical(老套的)father was a distant, strict figure whose value lay squarely in the size of his pay packet.

  But a new survey published yesterday Father's Day reveals 21st-Century Dad wants a closer relationship with his children, and is even prepared to put his career on hold so he can play with his kids.

  “As soon as my first child was born, I moved jobs to one that offered flexi-time(弹性上班)rather than a high salary or great promotion prospects,” said Stephen Derrick, a community development worker in Leeds, northern England.

  “My father walked away from his role as a caring father and I'm having to create that role for myself,” he added.“It's harder than I thought but I'm determined to give my children a different experience of fatherhood to my one.”

  A study of 12,000 new fathers and 9,200 new mothers by the UK's Equal Opportunities Commission found eight out of 10 fathers would take three months' leave from work after the birth of their child, if it was possible.

  Despite enormous shifts in attitude, however, new fathers admitted barriers(障碍)still stop them escaping work to spend time with their children.

  “The dilemma(进退两难)of the modern father is how to square up the pressure of work and the quality of the time they spend with their children,” said Derrick.

  “Even with the career sacrifices I've made, I'm still struggling to achieve that balance.”

  Whatever the situation of 21st-Century Dad, however, the overwhelming message is that today's fathers are more closely involved in their children's lives than ever before, with 87 per cent saying they felt as confident when caring for their baby as their partner.

  “My role is very much the same as my wife's.It's sharing the childcare and ensuring our son is brought up in a safe and loving environment,” said Jon Bernstein, a multimedia editor for a large city firm in London.

Our tolerating ability is indeed way beyond our imagination. But not until the very critical moment will we     21    our potential tolerating ability.
There was a woman in the countryside who got married at the age of 18 and had to escape with her two daughters and a son wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s invasion. Many people in the village at that time could not     22   the suffering of being a fugitive(亡命者) and wanted to commit suicide. After she knew about it, she would come to those    23     ,saying, “Don’t do that     24     thing. There are no such setbacks(挫折) that we could not overcome!”
Finally she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out of China.   25   , her son died of disease without sufficient     26      and nutrition in those days of hardships. Her husband, after knowing the death of his son, lay in bed for two days without eating and drinking anything. She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough destiny, but however tough our lives will be, we should also     27   . Though our son has passed away, we can have another. ”
After giving birth to the second    28    , her husband died of edema(水肿病), which almost    29  her away. But eventually, she    30     and held the three young children in her arms, saying, “My sweet hearts, don’t feel scared. You still have me, your dear mum!”
It took her pain efforts to     31    her children up and the life of her family was getting better and better. Two daughters were married and so was his son finally. She said to everyone she met, “Look! What I said is     32    right. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!” She was      33    gradually and could not do the farm work anymore. So she stayed at home and did some sewing work.
Nevertheless, the Heaven seemed to show no affection to her who had undergone a   34   life. She got her leg broken      35     when she was nursing her grandson. Due to her old age that posed a great risk to her operation, she did not receive operation and had to lie in bed all day long. Her children all cried heavily, while she merely said, “Why do you cry? I am still living.”
     36     she could not rise from bed, she did not complain about anything and anybody. Instead, she sat on the bed and did some sewing work. She had learnt scarves-weaving, crafts-making, etc. All her neighbors spoke      37     of her skills and came to learn from her.
She lived until 86. Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, “You all should live to your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”
We will only get to realize our own iron will and strong tolerating ability after getting   38    heavily. Therefore, no matter what you are suffering from now, do not merely complain about the   39     of our destiny and maintain low-spirited all the time. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. Only those who have no confidence and courage to overcome setbacks will be    40     at last!
