　　在英國有一位殘疾青年，他雙腿走起路來很困難，卻憑著堅強的信念和毅力創造了一次又一次的壯舉：他19歲時登上了世界最高峰珠穆朗瑪峰;21歲時登上了阿爾卑斯山;22歲時登上了乞力馬扎羅山。28歲前他登上了世界上所有著名的高山。然而，就在28歲這一年他自殺了。原來在他11歲時，他父母在攀登乞力馬扎羅山時不幸遭遇雪崩雙雙遇難。他的父母在臨行前給他留下了遺囑，希望他能像父母一樣，登上世界上所有著名的高山。這位殘疾青年把父母的遺囑作為他人生奮斗的目標，當實現全部目標的時候，他感到前所未有的無奈和絕望。他留下遺言：“如今，功成名就的我感到無事可做了，我沒有了新的目標......”

　　參考范文：

　　After reading this instructive story we can learn that there is no goal, there is no life, and we should set new goals for life in different periods of life. Otherwise sad story such as the disabled man mentioned in the story would happen. Only with the renewed goals, we can improve ourselves step by step, and make our life more colorful and meaningful. Certainly, everyone has his own goal of life. I have mine too. My goal is to become a famous surgeon. I’ll work hard to achieve this goal by learning and practicing more, so that I can make myself more knowledgeable and skillful, and use them to benefit my patients. If I have achieved this goal, I would set up a new one. Then, I’ll do my best to achieve it. Therefore, everyone should set different goals in different periods of life, and try his best to achieve it. In this way, we will live happily.
