Jin Yu: I will share the news summary with you and compile it into fill-in-the-blanks to complete it together.

Zhengyu: Filling in the blanks is not difficult, and things are exaggerated. It would be a bit hasty to choose to commit suicide because of emotional disputes.

Xinxin: You said it was not difficult, but I was a little difficult.

Taorui: Fill in the blanks first and then discuss them. What is the exaggeration?

Yangyang: The answer is as follows, see if it is correct.1.who2.wassaved3.who4.that5.while

Xixi: The fourth blank should be filled in "why", because the precursor is "reason", and "why" is an adverbial in the attributive clause.

Zhengyu: It is very correct and the grammar is consolidated.

Xinxin: Why do you fill in "while" in the fifth space? Can you fill in "when" here?

Taorui: No. Here we express the contrast between the two. "while" means "however".

Yang Yang: Everything is clear, let’s talk about the “protagonist” now.

Zhengyu: The boy chose to jump into the river because of a quarrel with his girlfriend, and the girl chose to jump into the lake because of a quarrel with his boyfriend. Why can't I figure it out so much?

Xinxin: The details are unknown, so you should be open to things.

Taorui: "If life is not satisfactory, things will always be in eight or nine years." There is no need to choose to go to the "river world".

Yangyang: When people are out of control of their emotions, they are extremely prone to doing wrong things.

Xixi: So when encountering things, you need to be calm and not be stubborn.

Jingyu: It’s not easy to be calm, the key is to learn in advance. Read more biography of celebrities and maybe there will be a turning point.

Yangyang: There are quite a few unsatisfactory things in life. Some people have had a dispute with their parents and chose to jump into the river. Some students' mobile phones are confiscated by their teachers and choose to jump off the building.

Jianwu: There is only one life, so you can’t jump randomly. Unless you practice high jump and long jump, you must be very cautious.

Taorui: When dealing with setbacks and adversity, think about Edison and others.

Xixi: Einstein Newton, Sanmao and Xue Xiaochan. They were all called by their teachers as big fools and hopeless people with no future in development.

Zhengyu: They all eventually became scientific giants and literary talents.

Yangyang: There are many similar outstanding people.

Pengjie: "If you stay with the green mountains, you will not have to worry about burning firewood."

Taorui: "wherethereislife, thereishope."

Sissi: "aslongasthegreenhillslast, there'lloysbewoodtoburn."

Huihui: Balzac said: "Frustration and misfortune are the advancement of geniuses; the baptism of believers; the priceless treasure of capable people; the bottomless abyss of the weak."

Xuanxuan: Face adversity and setbacks and be a strong man in life.

Yuanyuan: When you are free, you can look at literature, history and philosophy, and you can see even further...

Yaqin: No matter how long the night is, there will be a dawn, and no matter how long the road is, it will end.

Lili: There is no hurdle in life that cannot be overcome. No matter how difficult it is, you must bravely move forward.
