Ⅰ.完形填空
When I was a kid, my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire. At the camp we did tons of great things like swimming, sports and archery (射箭), but for me, the most memorable __1__ was an overnight trip of mountain climbing. If you've ever __2__ a mountain, you know it's a physical challenge, __3__ when you're carrying your food and shelter on your back. When campers got __4__， they certainly started complaining.
“How much farther is it？”
“I can't go any further.”
“My __5__ is too heavy. Can you carry it for me？”
The reply of the __6__ was, “Suck it up (忍气吞声)”. The truth is that the complaining campers were __7__ near the point of __8__. If they had been, the teachers would have noticed the __9__ and given them care. The kids simply weren't used to the physical challenge. Once they realized they weren't getting any sympathy they __10__ the discomfort, and in most cases __11__ having a great time. In my camp days, I don't __12__ a single camper complaining at the __13__ of the mountain.
There are two ways to deal with an __14__ situation. You can complain, or you can make the best of it. If you complain, you might feel like you're getting that __15__ energy out, but you're probably not going to cause a positive change. It's much more likely that your complaining will cause the __16__ of those around you. No one likes a complainer. They're __17__ and they hurt the group. Complaining makes life __18__ for everyone. Instead, if you determine to master your own __19__， to move past it and focus on a __20__， it's my experience that you'll realize it wasn't bad in the first place.
