Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds. All that saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged (崎岖的) and bare(光秃的). Above was an angry sky from which rain fell and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain was a waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a bush, growing in a crack (裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. She sat on her nest, watching the running water. Which picture do you think won the prize?The King chose the second picture.Do you know why?“Because,” explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means when facing unhappy situations, you can still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.”阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空
