As we approached the largest __5__ on the river I could feel my heart beating faster.Upon __6__ the turbulent (湍急的) water, our boat got __7__ on a large rock.I was in the front of the boat and reached __8__ with my paddle, thinking I would help __9__ us away from the rock.In the next instant I could feel myself falling out of the boat and into the river.I did have my moments of __10__ and terror.
This resistance disappeared quickly, __11__ I landed in the cold, powerfully turbulent water.__12__ my highquality flotation vest, I was pulled underwater, __13__ thankfully, within seconds I popped (冒出) back up to the __14__.A few moments later one of the other trip leaders called for me to __15__ toward his boat, where I was quickly pulled up and in.I was shaken, out of breath, and quite __16__to be out of the turbulent water.
An equivalent of this experience happens all the time in our lives.This is life.You cannot count on things going __17__. When we do, we often __18__ disappointed and unhappy.Resisting __19__， which often arrives suddenly and unexpectedly, keeps us from __20__ the scenario (可能要发生的事) unfolding before us clearly, and it can keep us from acting in ways that are smart and effective and that lead to results that make us feel good and proud of ourselves.
