A man was caught and thrown into a pit (坑) of about “40 feet” deep. He struggled trying to get out of the pit, 【小题1】the more he tried, the weaker his muscles became. He said to himself, “I don't know how【小题2】(get) myself out of this. Maybe I should just die instead of enduring these miserable struggles and pains.”

Just then, he heard a voice screaming, “Help! Help!! Help!!!” The shouts were coming from another pit, 【小题3】was 10 feet more deeper than the one he was in. “Wow, so there is somebody else like me 【小题4】 (stick) here too,” He thought to himself.

Listening 【小题5】(careful), he heard some cracking and sand dropping from 【小题6】wall of the pit of the other victim. Immediately he summed up his courage and with his last bit of strength, 【小题7】(start) crawling\little by little until he made it out of his pit.

When you go through pains, remember that there are people pain 【小题8】 (badly) off than you. Always say something sweet to yourself. Always smile at your pains. Try to 【小题9】 (courage) yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror, beat your chest and say, “I can make 【小题10】and I can stand the test of time.”

Youth is a kind of【小题1】 (wealthy). It will gradually disappear with time【小题2】   (go) by. What can we do to fulfill our youth?

In my opinion, for one thing, to realize our value, it is our idea【小题3】 matters a lot. No matter what our ideas are, we must try hard to achieve them. When we are young we are full of energy.We have the【小题4】 (good) conditions in our lives. Good memories, good understandings and so on. We should make full use【小题5】 these conditions to study more.

For another, we should do as many things as possible we want to do. Of course, they must enrich our lives, 【小题6】 can make it possible for【小题7】 (we) to gather many different experiences that are worth【小题8】 (remember) when we are old.

Then when we【小题9】 (be) really old, we can be proud of our【小题10】 (achieve) that we have ever experienced in happiness and we can say we have no regret in our lives.

When a man was walking by some elephants, he 【小题1】 (sudden)stopped. He was puzzled that these huge animals were being held only by a small rope tied 【小题2】 their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could break 【小题3】 (they)bonds at any time, but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and 【小题4】 (ask) why the animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they were very young and much smaller, we used 【小题5】 same rope to keep them from 【小题6】 (run)away. At the age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break the rope. They believe it can still hold them, so they never try 【小题7】 (break)free.”

The man was 【小题8】 (amaze). These animals could break free whenever they wanted, but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right in the place 【小题9】 they were.

How many of us go through life like the elephants—holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once before?

【小题10】 (fail)is a part of learning. If we failed once, it doesn't mean we can never succeed. We should never give up trying when we encounter failures in life.
