Self-reliance (自立）

 

Everyone has heard(hear)the word"self-reliance".Emerson wrote a 41  (fame)essay about it.He felt that people should trust in their own 42  (able).They should think and act for themselves.Like many such 43  (term),this one had no real meaning for me until it was 44 

（demonstrate)to me in real life.

Last year I met a blind girl 45(name)Gail.She was 46  (extreme)slender and weak,but she always insisted on 47  (find)her way around the school by herself.When she 48  (sit)in a room with several of us,there was sometimes a(n)49(easy)silence,because we thought she might resent our acting too cheerful and thoughtless in her 50  (present).On such occasions, she would say something casual or show us how fast she could write.She never asked for anyone's pity.She truly relied on herself.
