A group of frogs were travelling through the woods and two of them fell into a deep hole. At once, all the other frogs in the group got together and watched as the trapped (被困住) frogs tried to get out. The other frogs could see that the hole was very ________ and it looked as if there was no way out. They started telling the two frogs to ________. “The hole is too deep. You are as good as dead.” the other frogs said. The crowd shouted, “Give up.” After a while, one of the ________ frogs fell down and died.

But amazingly, the second frog kept ________ as hard as she could though the negative (负面的) things the other frogs were saying. ________, with one brave leap (跳跃), she made it out!

The second frog was successful in her efforts because she was deaf and unable to ________ what the others had been saying. She thought they had been cheering for her the whole time, which inspired ________ to try harder. And that made all the difference!

________ a positive (积极的) opinion, the second frog overcame the challenge and ________ her goal instead of being influenced by the others like the first frog. When we place less importance on others’ negative opinions, we can do anything we set our minds to, just as the second frog did. However, it is still important to listen to ________ sometimes as well. We have to keep a good balance.
