One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting 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"（恢复能力） comes to mind. When used in 42 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 .

A 52 of hope will take you through 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!

A

Kenyon Scudder once told me a story about his friend, Michael. Michael happened to be on a train sitting next to a young man who seemed worried. Finally the young man told the friend that he was a convict (罪犯) returning home from a prison far away. What he did had brought shame on his family, and they had neither visited him nor written to him. He hoped, however, that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too busy to write.

When he was set free he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for them, however, he had asked them to put up a signal for him when the train passed their little farm. If the family had forgiven him, they were to put up a white ribbon (丝带) in the big apple tree near the railway. If they didn't want him back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go far away.

As the train neared his hometown his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put his hand on the young convict’s shoulder. "There it is," he said, his eyes filled with sudden tears. "It’s all right. The whole tree is white with ribbons."

56. For which of the following reasons might the young man be worried?

A. His family might not allow him to go home.

B. His family would not remember him.

C. His family hadn’t written to him frequently.

D. His family hadn’t visited him for a long time.

57. The word "suspense" underlined in the last paragraph can best be replaced by ________.

A. pain B. interest C. worry D. happiness

58. Why did Michael cry at the end of the story?

A. The young man couldn’t live with his family.

B. There were many white ribbons on the apple tree.

C. He was moved by the young man.

D. The young man was very sad.
