It's always thought that only those heavy things make people hard to endure.But as a matter of fact，those slight things are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (much) difficult to resist.It's slight，but it will always be in the bottom of your heart，making it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (possible) for you to get rid of it all through your life.

    It's just like John Nash in “A Beautiful Mind”．You can imagine how terrible it is to live in a world full of mental illusion.When he realizes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (clear) about all of these but can't get rid of the illusions，his mentality will be on the edge {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  collapsing.On the other hand，Nash is happy and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (luck) because his wife companied with him.She used her wifely heart to forgive all.When her husband {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (be) weak，she opened the window of his heart with her soft hands.She used her wifely endurance to go forward step by step in the difficult life.She used her wifely {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  (persist) of love.

    I can still remember the scene that when old Nash {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (stand) on the stage of Nobel Prizes，he looked at his wife full of love.I think Nash has found the answer of Balance Theory {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  he has been studying throughout his life.The balance of his life is the love of his wife.

    {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  changes a lot with time，only love will last forever.

    The story happened in ancient times. A king was so clever that he thought of a good way to test{#blank#}1{#/blank#}his men were reliable.

    One day, he had a huge rock{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(place) on a roadway at night. Then he hid {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (him) nearby and watched carefully to see if anyone would remove the big rock. Some{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wealth) businessmen and high officials came by, but they simply walked around it. Many of them even loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them would bother{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(get) the big stone out of the way.

    Then a villager came along carrying a load of vegetables. On {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(approach) the big rock, he stopped and laid down his burden, trying hard to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing, he{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(final) succeeded. As the villager picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the rock{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be). The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king, saying that the gold was for the person{#blank#}9{#/blank#} removed the huge rock from the road.

    The villager learned a valuable lesson that many others would never understand: Every obstacle presents{#blank#}10{#/blank#} opportunity to improve one's condition.

    A few years ago, I had to stay at the hospital for three days for a medical test. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ask) to stay awake for more than 30 hours because of the test. It could be {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(extreme) difficult for anyone. And I didn't believe I could make it. My mother said she would accompany me. But I knew even {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my mother accompanying me, it wouldn't be easy.

    To my surprise, that afternoon {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my mom came to my room, she had my friend Susan with her. That afternoon Susan called my mother. As soon as she {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hear) I needed to stay awake for so long, she decided to help me. So she offered {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(come) to the hospital to stay with me and help keep me awake. Things became much {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (easy) than I had imagined with Susan's help. She told me stories and jokes, and time passed very quickly.

    Without Susan's help, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} whole stay in the hospital would have been much more difficult. And our {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(friend) became deeper from then on. I think nothing can keep us apart. I'm so {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (thank) that I have such a friend.

    Our trip was fantastic. Every driver and every tour guide{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) knowledgeable, and tried to meet our interests and wishes. As Erich practiced his Chinese with them, they responded in English. The locations{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(select) by us were most interesting. Although I am not used{#blank#}3{#/blank#}sub-zero weather,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}was Harbin that I would recommend to any travel lover because it was so unique. All of the sights were unique with so much to offer. If we hadn't gone on the trip to Harbin, we would {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (have) no chance to enjoy all the sights there then.

    The hotel accommodation was comfortable. We had one experience when the power went off in a block that contained our hotel, but{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fortunate), the power was restored within a few hours. The restaurants were as unique as the areas{#blank#}7{#/blank#}we went and a Chinese cuisine was enjoyed by all four. Our guides made certain that our meal was ready and to our{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tasty).

    If our son and daughter-in-law stay another year, we will discuss a repeat visit next year around the same time. As Erich and Caitlin are students at an in ternational university in Tianjin, the trip revolves around their academic schedules. We are quite pleased with the nice{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (serve) provided by the relevant people {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(show) our friends and family we have taken lots of photos and videos.
