Question

Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we __21__ realize that those challenges are the very things that __22__ us and make us who we are, it is the same with the challenges that come with __23__.

    When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two __24__: we can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn’t worth the _25__ and call it quits. Although there are _26_ times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most cases all that is needed is commitment and _27_.

    When we are devoted to something, it means that no matter how __28__ or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to __29__ it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a __30__ for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to (对照) just saying what the other person did wrong. __31__ you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” __32__ “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.

    In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for __33__ they are: small hurdles you need to jump or _34__ on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only _35__ to make us stronger. It’s all part of growing up, it happens to everyone, and some day you will look back on all of this and say, “Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing.”
