Growing up is not always easy .When facing difficulties ,courage and a spirit of independence (独立)can be more useful than crying for help .That’s what’s the story I’ve heard recently tells me .

　 The young man was born in1982 in a 31 family in a small town .When he was only 11, his father became mentally ill and one day came back with an abandoned baby (弃儿) girl .A year later ,his 32 left home with his younger brother because she couldn’t 33 hard life and pressure from her mad husband . The 12-year-old boy began to 34 his whole family : he took care of not only his sick father ,but also the little girl . 35 ,he didn’t give up studying .Later he went to college . To care for the little girl ,he rented a room near his college and 　36 her education by doing part-time jobs .

　 After the young man’s story went public ,people were deeply impressed by his behavior.

37 his life was hard ,he didn’t abandon his father and his sister because 38 needed his help very much . And he 39 donations from others . He said he felt 40　 because of kind offers ,but he could depend on his own work .With his hard –won money ,he 41 helped other students in trouble .

　 Today when many young people worry more about their own happiness, this young man’s behavior reminds us of what we don’t usually 　42　 : love and care for others .nobody could

Continue to live 　43 these .

　 Through his hard life ,the young man is regarded as a 44　 . So when facing difficulties ,don’t 45 bad luck .Consider what more you could do for your family and society ,and you’ll find the world smiling back .
