There are many great philosophers in ancient China. Confucius,     1     was one of the     2     (great) philosophers, stressed the importance of kindness, duty and order in society. Since then, Chinese society    3     (influence) by his ideas.

Mencius,     4     (bear) in 372 BC, was a student of Confucius’s ideas. So, his teachings were similar to    5     of Confucius. He believed man was good and that people were more important than rulers. He    6     (write) a book in his last years named The Book of Mencius.

Well, it so happened that one morning I bought a newspaper and read the     1     (advertise) about the Antarctic expedition.

    2     expedition to the South Pole with the great Sir Ernest Shackleton — this is the adventure that I     3     (dream) of. And I was ready for     4     At the age of 19, I am fit and full of vigour.     5    , when I applied to join the expedition, Shackleton turned me     6     because he thought I was too young and wasn’t qualified. But I was so enthusiastic about the idea of going along with them     7     I secretly went aboard his ship, the Endurance, and hid in a small cupboard. Unfortunately, three days after we set off I     8     (discover). Shackleton did not want to turn back, so he offered me a job, but only after he promised me, “if anyone has to be eaten, then you’ll be the     9     (one)!” He assigned me to be a steward, and I now serve three meals for twenty-eight men, three times a day.

How everyone will envy me when I come back and tell them about the     10     (amaze) places I have been to.

We watched as Shackleton and the boat sailed away from Elephant Island. It was easy     1     (imagine) the danger ahead. There was nothing like a good dinner and some music to cheer us up.

    2     (stay) alive was not easy. The island had no water. We could only melt ice from the ocean and drink the water from     3    . There were no trees growing on Antarctica and no oil, so the only fuel     4     we could use was animal fat. We had to be careful not to go outside too often, as the changing temperatures could make us ill. Many of us also     5     (become) ill from the smoke of the animal fat we burnt for our fires.

We lived like this in the cold     6     four months. Our discipline and team spirit kept us     7     (optimism) and helped us deal with our fears in a positive and successful way. When we were rescued, we felt such     8     (relieve) and joy that many of us could not hide our tears. Our optimism and faith in Shackleton had helped us persevere in staying alive.     9     (final), he paid us back by his commitment to save us from     10     slow but painful death.
