Question

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the __35__ was he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of ___36___ because of the dead battery(電池). Nothing could be done but to ___37___ in the cold car. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the arrival of the rescue who saved him.

It is almost unimaginable that he could stand the cold and great fear in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his ___38___: “First of all I checked up my ___39___ conditions and found myself not in deadly danger. As there was no way to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from losing blood. In this way I dozed (打盹) off. ”

His story put an end to my regret for the failure of an exploration adventure（冒險） that happened last year. A group of young men ___40___ to explore a mountain cave and got lost. Unable to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of ___41___. Finally they fell dead in fear and tiredness. According to the rescue people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the ___42___ of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to ___43___ themselves, they would probably sense a faint(very little) light glimmering (閃爍) not far away.

Don’t you think that you can compare it with ___44___ itself? When you meet with obstacles or big problems in life and work, you are lost in darkness. ___45___ you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle immediately. It seems not to be an active attitude, ___46___ a person who can afford to do so must have foresight（預見） as well as a great courage in the first place.
