高中英语语法填空:短文题型能力练习 Test 26

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by 　61　 someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like 　62　 (walk) alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning. 　63　 once you learn to avoid that situation, you won't need to live in fear of it.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can 　64　 (total) destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left 　65　 (check), can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

Let me tell you about three of the other enemies we face from within. The first enemy that you've got to destroy 　66　 it destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just drift along.” Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain.

The second enemy we face is indecision（优柔寡断）. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal your chances for a 　67　 (good) future. Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there's room for healthy skepticism. You can't believe everything. But you also can't let doubt take 　68　 . Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worse of all, they doubt themselves. I'm telling you, doubt 　69　 (destroy) your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be 　70　 (courage) in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.
