Two men each decided to buy a horse. One man found a red horse with a lot of 46 , while the other chose a more docile(温顺的) one. The two men would go 47 together every day. It 48 that on their way around the countryside, they came to a big ditch(沟) about nine feet 49 .
It was 50 that the red horse’s spirit could not be shaken. When coming up to the ditch the horse was 51 to respond and jumped it with no problem. Yet the docile horse wasn’t sure of the 52 . Each time it would walk up to the edge, 53 with doubt. The distance across looked too great, 54 .Then one day, after a long time coming up to the ditch and 55 its companion(同伴) jump the ditch easily, something happened within the docile horse. A 56 was born—it 57 jump the ditch, too. In the end, it successfully jumped over the ditch.
58 is very like what happened with the two horses. When we 59 situations where we don’t know if we can 60 it, we hesitate, standing on the edge, shaking. 61 we stop worrying about the obstacle(障碍), which, to our 62 seems too big for us, we will 63 find that we are able to make it easily. It is the spirit within us that can judge the distance to the other side and give us the 64 to make it.
It all comes down to one 65 : whether we look for the spirit within, or just stand on the edge and hesitate. We will always have a choice.

The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.
“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.
“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.
The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.
The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.
