完形填空二

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather.Several times, it   41 several obstacles(障碍) in its path.And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (绕道). 42 one point, the ant had to cross a crack(裂缝) about 10mm wide.After some  43  thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked   44 it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way.I was   45 by the cleverness of this ant.It was only a small insect, lacking in  46  yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. 47   this ant, like the other two-legged creatures  48  on the earth, also shares human failings.

After some time the ant 49  reached its destination --- a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its   50  home.It was there that the ant met its 51 .How could that large feather possibly   52 such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t.So the ant, after all this   53  and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the   54  and went home.The ant had not thought the problem through   55 it began its journey and in the end the feather was   56  more than a burden.Isn’t our   57 like that?

We worry about our families; we worry about the  58  of money; and we worry about all kinds of things.These are all burdens --- the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to  59 that at the destination they are  60  and we can’t take them with us.
