Our tolerating ability is indeed way beyond our imagination. But not until the very critical moment will we
21 our potential tolerating ability.
There was a woman in the countryside who got married at the age of 18 and had to escape with her two daughters and a son wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s invasion. Many people in the village at that time could not
22 the suffering of being a fugitive（亡命者） and wanted to commit suicide. After she knew about it, she would come to those
23 ,saying, “Don’t do that
24 thing. There are no such setbacks(挫折) that we could not overcome!”
Finally she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out of China.
25 , her son died of disease without sufficient
26 and nutrition in those days of hardships. Her husband, after knowing the death of his son, lay in bed for two days without eating and drinking anything. She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough destiny, but however tough our lives will be, we should also
27 . Though our son has passed away, we can have another. ”
After giving birth to the second
28 , her husband died of edema（水肿病）, which almost
29 her away. But eventually, she
30 and held the three young children in her arms, saying, “My sweet hearts, don’t feel scared. You still have me, your dear mum!”
It took her pain efforts to
31 her children up and the life of her family was getting better and better. Two daughters were married and so was his son finally. She said to everyone she met, “Look! What I said is
32 right. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!” She was
33 gradually and could not do the farm work anymore. So she stayed at home and did some sewing work.
Nevertheless, the Heaven seemed to show no affection to her who had undergone a
34 life. She got her leg broken
35 when she was nursing her grandson. Due to her old age that posed a great risk to her operation, she did not receive operation and had to lie in bed all day long. Her children all cried heavily, while she merely said, “Why do you cry? I am still living.”
36 she could not rise from bed, she did not complain about anything and anybody. Instead, she sat on the bed and did some sewing work. She had learnt scarves-weaving, crafts-making, etc. All her neighbors spoke
37 of her skills and came to learn from her.
She lived until 86. Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, “You all should live to your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”
We will only get to realize our own iron will and strong tolerating ability after getting
38 heavily. Therefore, no matter what you are suffering from now, do not merely complain about the
39 of our destiny and maintain low-spirited all the time. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. Only those who have no confidence and courage to overcome setbacks will be
40 at last!

千里马走向假期期末仿真试卷寒假系列答案
We go to bed every night and 15 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 16 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 17 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we 18 the social ladder—how much bigger and better a 19 we have. And we ignore our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 20 we are than what we do!
