问题     So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure
meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to me that I (1)______
was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy for (2)______
finishing the only work that mattered to me. Have I really succeeded at any- (3)______
thing else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one
arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear
had been realised, and I was still alive, and I yet had a daughter to whom (4)______
I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom
became the solid foundation which I rebuilt my life. You might never fail (5)______
on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is possible to live (6)______
without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might
as well as not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default. Failure (7)______
gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations.
Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned any other (8)______
way. I discovered that I had a strong will and the more discipline than I had (9)______
suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above
the price of rubies. The knowledge which you have emerged wiser and (10)______
stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability
to survive. [br] (6)
选项
答案 possible — impossible
解析 换成impossible之后，本句的大意是“人生不可能从不失败，除非……”，而possible显然跟上下文的意思不符。
