别跌倒在自己的优势上

    三个旅行者同时住进一个旅店。早上出门时,一个旅行者带了一把伞,另一个旅行者拿了一根拐杖,第三个旅行者什么也没有拿。

    晚上归来,拿伞的旅行者淋得浑身是水,拿拐杖的旅行者跌得满身是伤,而第三个旅行者却安然无恙。于是,另外两个旅行者很纳闷,问第三个旅行者:“你怎会没有事呢?”第三个旅行者没有回答,而是问拿伞的旅行者:“你为什么会淋湿而不会摔伤呢?”

    拿伞的旅行者说:“当大雨来到的时候,我因为有了伞,就大胆地在雨中走,却不知怎么淋湿了;当我走在泥泞坎坷的路上时,我因为没有拐杖,所以走得非常仔细,专拣平坦的地方走,所以没有摔伤。”

    然后他又问拿拐杖的旅行者:“你为什么没有淋湿而摔伤了呢?”

    拿拐杖的说:“当大雨来临的时候,我因为没有带雨伞,便拣能躲雨的地方走,所以没有淋湿;当我走在泥泞坎坷的路上时,我便用拐杖拄着走,却不知为什么常常摔跤。”

    第三个旅行者听后笑笑说:“这就是为什么你们拿伞的淋湿了,拿拐杖的跌伤了,而我却安然无恙的原因。当大雨来时我躲着走,当路不好时我小心地走,所以我没有淋湿也没有跌伤。你们的失误就在于你们有凭借的优势,认为有了优势便少了忧患。

    许多时候,我们不是跌倒在自己的缺陷上,而是跌倒子自己的优势上。因为缺陷常常使我们__________________,而优势却常常使我们_______________。

阅读理解。

阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

    Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注意地)and leave no mark.

    Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner's permission, except in natural parks.

    Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野营地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.

    Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night's sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum(最小化的) influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.
