One year, a British expedition (探险队) got 1 in the sandy ocean of the Sahara Desert. The sun was burning hot. Everyone quickly ran out of water. If they 2 a wrong decision, then they could all soon die.
At this time, the leader took out a water kettle (壶) and said, "I found a kettle of water in my bag, But 3 we pass through the desert, 4 is allowed to drink it."
The kettle of water became 5 faith for everyone to cross the desert. It was passed on among the members of the team. 6 felt heavy.
Finally, the expedition made out of the desert and escaped the hand of Death. With tears of joy, they opened the kettle with trembling (颤抖的) hands —7out poured sand!
Was it a kettle of sand that really saved them in the desert? The answer is no. Their deep faith in the hope of survival, like a seed, had taken root and grown in their minds. That is 8 led them out of the terrible situation 9 the end.
In fact, life has 10 been a real dead end for anyone. Whatever hard time you face, as long as there is a seed of faith in your heart, you will overcome it. Then someday your life will bloom (开花) and bear much fruit.
