英文読解問題【高３ ★★★★☆】
Only when we face failure do we truly begin to understand ourselves. It is not in moments of success, but in times of struggle, ( ) we discover what we value most. Success can hide our weaknesses, but failure often reveals our true character. I once met a man who had lost everything—his job, his home, and even the support of some friends. Yet, he spoke not with bitterness, but with calm and reflection. “Losing everything,” he said, “was the beginning of gaining myself.” Those words stayed with me, reminding me that what we see as the end may, in fact, be a new beginning. Life has a way of teaching through loss. If we listen carefully, there is wisdom in every setback, and strength in every fall.
