（A）
When mountains, rivers and something else block the view, you may wonder whether there is still a road ahead. Be positive. Chinese people will use two common sayings to tell you that there will always be a road ahead.
One of the sayings comes from Chinese folk culture. It says, “When a carriage（马车） arrives in front of a mountain, there’s always a road ahead; when a boat reaches a bridge, it will naturally go straight.”
The meaning here is that when you drive a carriage to a mountain, there must be a road you can take to go forward, and water currents（水流） will naturally carry a boat when it passes under a bridge. In more common language: don’t worry about what’s going to happen in the future; things will work themselves out.
The second saying is from two lines from a poem written by Lu You, a great Southern Song Dynasty historian and poet. The two lines are translated as “Mountains roll beyond mountains, and streams（小河） double back to streams. I doubt if there’s still a road and then, with shady willows and bright flowers, another village suddenly appears ahead.” In easier language: don’t lose hope, and there’s always a way.
These popular expressions are often used to encourage people to face the world calmly during difficult times. There is a Western saying that follows the same idea, “When God closes one door, he opens a window.”
