In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank．He got into a life boat, but his supplies were 21 ．His chances of surviving were small． 22 when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much 23 than he was when he started, but alive．
His 24 of how he survived is fascinating．His cleverness —how he 25 to catch fish, how he evaporated（蒸发） sea water to 26 fresh water—is very interesting．
But the thing that 27 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no 28 in continuing the struggle．He was starved and 29 worn-out．Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice．
When people 30 these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going．Many people in 31 desperate circumstances 32 in or go mad．Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 33 difficulties．
"I tell myself I can 34 it," wrote Callahan in his book．-Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate．I tell myself these things over and over, 35 up courage．．．"
I wrote that down after 1 read it．It 36 me as something important．And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 37 off or when my problems seemed too terrible．And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my 38 ．
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad 39 to something better．But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with what others have been through, you're fortunate．Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you 40 through the rough situations with a little more courage．

A wise man was visiting the Ganges, a river which flows through northern India, to take a bath. He found a group of family members on the 36 , shouting angrily at each other. He 37 his disciples(弟子), smiled and asked, “Why do people shout in 38 at each other ?” The disciples 39 for a while and one of them said, “ Because we 40 our calm, we shout.” “But, why should you shout 41 the other person is just next to you ? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a(n) 42 manner,” asked the wise man. Some disciples gave some other answers, but none 43 the other disciples. Finally the wise man explained, “When two people are angry at each other, there is a distance between their 44 . To cover that distance they must shout to be able to 45 each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to 46 that great distance. What 47 when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very 48 . The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small.”
The wise man 49 , “When they love each other even more, they do not 50 , but only whisper and they get even closer to each other. Finally they 51
need not whisper. They only look at each other and that’s 52 . That’s how close people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his disciples and said, “So, when you 53 , do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more. 54 there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to 55 . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 36
Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room 37 I see is hair.” Once you’ve 38
what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 39 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 40 , or forget about it and 41 the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively 42 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 43 remain happy.
The first 44 is gratitude. All happy people are 45 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 46 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is 47 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 48 are those pursuit (追求) that give our lives purpose — anything 49 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 50 to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 51 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 52 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should 53 this truth: if you choose to find the 54 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is 55 your decision to make.

She was troubled, and he knew that he had turned against (背叛) his best friend 18 high school.
