Once in a physics class, the teacher asked students, “Why do we have brakes (刹车) in our car?” A student got up and answered, “Sir, to stop the car.” Another student replied, “To reduce and control the ______ of the car.” Another said, “To ______ accidents.” Soon, all the students began to give similar answers. So, the teacher decided to answer the question himself. He said, “I ______ all of your answers, although I look at it this way—the brakes in our car make it run faster.”

Hearing this, there was a deep ______ in class because no one had imagined this answer. The teacher explained, “for a moment, let’s ______ our car has no brakes, how fast would we dare to drive? It is the brake that gives us the courage to drive faster.” All the students were ______ at what the teacher said. They never thought this way about brakes in a car.

The teacher smiled and ______, “Similarly, there are many such ‘brakes’ in your lives. Your parents and teachers may be sometimes in control of your life and study. These actions seem like ‘brakes’ that stop you from moving forward, but they are ______ protecting you. Without these brakes, you might go in the wrong directions or get lost. Therefore, we need to understand that brakes in our life are not meant to push us back but to help us move ______ faster than before, so that we can reach our destination (目的地) quickly and safely. Should we be ______ for brakes in life or just see them as obstacles (障碍物) to our study?”
