Question

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank．There I would   36  the peace and quiet, watch the water rush   37  and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of   38  in the trees．I would also watch the bamboo trees   39  under pressure from the wind and watch them   40  gracefully to their original position after the wind had   41  ．

When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind．When used in   42  to a person, this word means the ability to readily   43  from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's   44  ．

Have you ever felt like you are at your   45  point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it．

During the   46  you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health．You felt emotionally drained（枯竭）,   47  exhausted and you most likely stood   48   physical symptoms．

Life is a   49  of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments．The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy   50   that take you close to your breaking point, bend,   51  don't break．Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you．

A measure of hope will take you   52  the unpleasant ordeal （考验）．With   53   for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be．The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to   54  if the final result is worth having．

If life gets   55  and you are at your breaking point, show resilience．Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!
