Question

【題目】I have come to realize that life is a journey. Whether we choose to keep moving around, or we choose to stay in one place, we are on a journey. That journey is not an easy one because every day it makes us face new problems in new ways.

When I was a little boy, I liked moving around. I always looked forward to the next trip away or the next holiday. Maybe it is because I lived in a small and boring town. How I wanted the school holidays when I could go to the coast! There I met with friends and my cousins, and enjoyed myself so much. I also met new people and sometimes we would travel together exploring(探索) different towns and beachside places.

When I finished high school, I kept moving. In my first year out of school I traveled with a friend. We visited seventeen countries in Europe, working different jobs as we went. What an adventure we had! No one could keep us still! When one place or one job became boring, we went off. If we didn’t like the people we were staying with, we said goodbye. In this way I went to three different universities to study and lived in five different towns.

All this carried on for many years until I got married and had my own family. Now having a family is a different thing because you cannot choose who they are as you want. When you stay in the same place, with the same persons, you start a whole new journey. That is the journey of facing your mistakes and trying to make them right. (4) ____ ____walk away and meet someone new when you make a mistake, you have to say that you are sorry and try again. When the ones you love hurt you, you may feel angry or unhappy. But instead of making the decision to leave, you have to try to tell them how you feel and forgive them.

Then you will stay in the same town, choosing one place to live and one job to remain in. There again you are challenged to face life, doing things such as paying your bills and trying hard to get along well with your boss. You have to keep on at your job when you feel like giving it all up and traveling again.

So rather than move around on different trips, you are on a new journey. This journey of staying still is just as important as all the travels in the world.

【解析】

主要敘述了作者對人生的一些認識，作者意識到人生就是一個旅途．不管我們或者不停的移動，或者選擇待在一個地方，我們都是在旅途中。

【1】根據"Maybe it is because I lived in a small and boring town．"可知我生活在一個很小的，無聊的小城里．想到別處去看看所以這是我喜歡到處轉轉走走的原因．故填Because he lived in a small and boring town

【2】根據"We visited seventeen countries in Europe，working different jobs as we went．"可知我們歐洲游玩的時候，是邊工作邊玩的，所以旅行的花費是我們打工賺來的，故填They worked (By working )different jobs as they went.

【3】根據"you have to try to tell them how you feel and forgive（寬�。� them．"可知如果有家人傷害了你，你得告訴他們你的感受，并原諒他們，而不是離開。故填I should (Try to) tell them how I feel and forgive them.

【4】根據上文的That is the journey of facing your mistakes and trying to make them right意思是“這是你面對錯誤并努力改正錯誤的旅程”下文中walk away and meet someone new when you make a mistake, you have to say that you are sorry and try again意思是“當你犯錯的時候，你必須說對不起，然后再試一次�！边@里用Rather than表示而不是的關系。故填Rather than。

【5】本文主要敘述了作者對人生的一些認識：就像一個旅行。故填Life is a Journey
