Ⅰ.完形填空
(2021·兰州诊断)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.
