I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 31 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-aged children. At the end of the day, he would 32 his taxi on the road. I 33 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 34 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 35 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was a 36 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 37 to be outside one evening two weeks 38 , when the garage door was 39 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce(劳斯莱斯)! It shook me completely 40 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 41 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a(n) 42 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 43 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a (n) 44 .
We go to bed every night and 45 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 46 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 47 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how much bigger and better a 48 we have. And we ignore our Rolls-Royce, by 49 it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 50 we are than what we do!

Growing up in the U.S.A., I always wanted to experience another culture. The 1 came when I was 15. After several months of 2 , I was ready to spend the second term of my first year of high school as an exchange student in Australia.
Landing in Perth was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I 3 then that there was no turning back. The family I would live with was waiting for me, and it would be only five days 4 the new school year started.
The Catholic school I 5 was different from my public school back in the States. The uniform code was very strict. We were only 6 to wear one bracelet, which had to be a watch and one necklace, which had to have a Holy Cross. I was quite intimidated(害怕的) at first, 7 never having been to a new school—even in the United States. Everything went 8 , though. The teachers were welcoming and the students were friendly.
The most unforgettable time of my term abroad was with forty-one other international exchange students traveling around Australia during our term break. Our 9 were as extensive as our nationalities: we traveled to Sydney, Canberra, Mildura, Coober Pedy, Uluru, Kings Canyon, Alice Springs, Mount Isa, Airlie Beach, and the Cold Coast.
The few weeks we enjoyed together were crowded with 10 . We took a day-cruise on Darling Harbor and visited the Sydney Opera House. We slept in an “underground town”. We walked around the famous Ayers Rock and went sailing on the Pacific Ocean.
At the end of our 11 in Australia, we had three weeks of traveling time to share our stories and help each other deal with leaving. It was 12 that our last day together was filled with tears. We packed our camp, exchanged e-mail addresses, and gathered together for a final good-bye.

A car drew up outside the Swan Hotel and a young man got out.Pausing only for a moment to see that he had come to the right place,he went into the hotel and rang the bell on the counter of the bar.
Mrs.Crump,the landlady,who was busy in the kitchen at the time,hurried out,wiping her hands.The young man raised his hat.
“Excuse me,”he said.“I’m looking for my uncle,Mr.White.I believe he is staying here.”
“He was staying here.”Mrs.Crump corrected him.“But I’m afraid that he went back to London yesterday.”
“Oh,dear,”said the young man,looking disappointed.“I understood that he was going to stay here until the end of the month.At least that is what his servant told me when I rang up his house.”
“Quite right,”said Mrs,Cramp.“He planned to stay here the whole of July,as he always does. But yesterday he got a telegram to say that his relative was ill.So he caught the train back to London immediately.”
“I wish he had let me know, ”The young man said.“I wrote him a letter saying that I was coming.I’ve had all this trouble for nothing.Well,since he isn’t here,there’s no point in waiting.”
He thanked Mrs.Grump and went out.Mrs.Grump went to the window and watched him drive off.When his car was out of sight,she called out:“You can come out now, Mr.White. He’s gone.”
Mr.White came out of the kitchen,where he had been waiting.
“Many thanks,Mrs.Grump,”he said,laughing,“you did that very well.These nephews of mine never gave me any peace.That young man is the worst of them all.As you see,when he needs money, he even follows me into the country.Well,perhaps next time he won’t warn me by writing a letter!”
