The snow went on falling, and they could see only a few meters in front of them．
"We should go back," said Judy．She was afraid．
"But where is the path （道路）？"
Everything was covered with snow．The sky was grey．"What's the time?" asked Paul．Judy looked at her watch．"Nearly 5 o'clock．It gets dark in an hour．"
"We must start walking, and hope we find the path．I think the snow's stopping．"said Paul．But it wasn't stopping．The wind was strong．It blew around them, cold and wet．
"Just keep going downhill．"said Judy．"We can't go wrong．"
Then Paul fell on some rocks．He shouted．"Judy! I've hurt my leg!" He couldn't stand up．His leg hurt too much．
"I'll have to phone for help．"said Judy."I hope the mobile phone works up here!"
Luckily it did．They phoned the mountain service（服务站）．"Don't move! shouted the man on the phone．Stay where you are, we're sending a team there．"
They were not far from the path, so the team found them easily．They were lucky! People often get into trouble when they climb the mountains．You must always tell someone where you are going and take a mobile phone with you．Mountain is a dangerous place to be if things go wrong!

One of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap? Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.
Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but don’t break!
