Because I get my adventurous from him, he was all for it.
I had only been away from my three days now, but there was an inner going on inside of me. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I could make it. The other part of me was ready to to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.
On the road, I met another who was quite a bit older than I was. He had started his journey by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of . It encouraged me not to .
As I listened to my artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled (踩踏板) with my feet. There was around me for miles. , that wasn’t entirely true. There were mosquitoes--- millions of them.

举一反三
I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading(在...上面走) water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start — here’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding.
小题1:The author decided to write a novel ______ .| A．to finish the writing course | B．to realize her own dream | | C．to satisfy readers’ wish | D．to earn more money |
小题2:How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?| A．Disturbed. | B．Ashamed. | C．Confident. | D．Uncertain. |
小题3:What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?| A．It pays off to stick to one’s goal. | | B．Hard work can lead to success. | | C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky. | | D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something. |

Though a dollar felt like a small , I realized how _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me. we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars , but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With my recent purchase wrapped around my shoulders, I that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for . I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone . Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for your .”
I can’t help but feel that my with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has mine.

Today we spent the morning going through our personal belongings .We were looking for items to __ for free at a local park. Not just any items but things people really . Our aim was not to find things we no longer but things we use every day that would be to others.
We packed these things boxes and added some small toys. We added a list of local addresses and phone numbers of local agencies. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed. It : “Please take these items and know that your life is important. are difficult but these days will pass. We share what we have believing that it will matter. Use the food to nurture your ; use the blankets to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human can overcome anything. Do not hold your head for having a need to stay warm. Someday please do the same when you can.”
This kind was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was because it was the right to do. We have often seen people at the park where we left the belongings. I that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was about it and she just replied that it had a hood (兜帽) . Her answer told me why it is I who love her. She liked the coat but knew the hood could someone from the rain.
Who knows where these gifts of sympathy will ? How many uses can a blanket serve what it was designed to do? We never go back and see what happens. It is unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that .

Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside. Everyone feels negative emotions such as anger and needs to deal with them. But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it.
Shouting bad words at someone will hurt the other person or make them angry too. If you feel angry, it is best to think before you speak. Some people in the UK use the expression “take a deep breath and count to 10”, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry.
Another expression people use to say they are controlling their anger is “biting their lip”. This means not letting the bad words come out of their mouth. If you cannot think of anything but bad words, it is probably best to “bite your lip.”
But sometimes letting all your anger out can be cathartic(宣泄情绪), as long as you do it at the right place and time. If you have just had a bad day, you could go into a room by yourself and scream or yell very loudly. Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. Then after you let your frustration out this way, you’ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.
If you do lose your temper with someone and swear at them, though, you need to apologize. One way to do this is to say “pardon my French”. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. Then you can calmly explain what made you upset.
小题1:According to the passage, what does the expression “pardon my French” mean?
A. “Please let me through”.
B “I can’t speak French well”.
C. “Sorry I said a bad word”.
D. “I’m very angry with you”.
小题2:What does letting out your frustration help you to do?| A．Make others more upset. | | B．Feel happier about yourself . | | C．Solve a problem calmly. | | D．It is no help at all. |
小题3:Who is this passage most likely written for?| A．All kinds of people | | B．Young children | | C．Very angry people | | D．People who like to swear |
小题4:How does this passage view expressing emotions?| A．They should be kept very private. | | B．They need to be expressed but in a way that hurts no one. | | C．They should be expressed any way you like. | | D．They should only be expressed if they are positive. |
