The ____ equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.

His 24 of how he survived is fascinating.His cleverness —how he 25 to catch fish, how he evaporated(蒸發(fā)) sea water to 26 fresh water—is very interesting.

When people 30 these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going.Many people in 31 desperate circumstances 32 in or go mad.Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 33 difficulties.
"I tell myself I can 34 it," wrote Callahan in his book.-Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate.I tell myself these things over and over, 35 up courage..."
I wrote that down after 1 read it.It 36 me as something important.And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 37 off or when my problems seemed too terrible.And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my 38 .
The truth is,our circumstances are only bad 39 to something better.But others have been though the much worse,that is,in comparison with what others have been through,you’re fortunate.Tell this to yourself over sad over again,and it will help you 40 though the rough situations with a little more courage.
