2.Why do I volunteer with Big brothers/Big sisters of America?I have many reasons.Perhaps the biggest reason is that people once volunteered to help me.
Years ago,I was on the other side of the table.I was lonely and I felt lost.It's a little embarrassing to talk about it now,but whatever the right direction in life was,I was going the opposite way.More than once,I found myself on the wrong path.If someone hadn't stepped in when he did,I probably wouldn't even be here now.I'd rather be in a prison or somewhere a lot smaller and deeper.
I've seen the work that big brothers/sisters have been doing all over the country and I'm pleased to be part of it.I've never done anything that made me prouder than my volunteer work.Big brothers and sisters helped me get over sadness and depression as soon as possible.Then,if I can help anyone like they helped me,I am willing to serve for as long as they will have me serve them.There are no words to describe the joy I get from helping somebody turn their life around.Every time I think that that's me now,I'm proud and happy.
Volunteering is how I want to leave my mark on the world.I recommend volunteering work to everybody,especially to somebody who isn't sure where they are going in life.Helping someone find their path is often the best way to find yours.Be a volunteer,and you will find your purpose in life.

12."Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice.Gifts are easy--they're given after all.Choices can be hard."--Jeff Bezos.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16years ago.I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300percent per year.I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast,and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me.I had just turned 30years old,and I'd been married for a year.I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't,and I wasn't sure what to expect.MacKenzie told me I should go for it.As a young boy,I'd been a garage inventor.I'd always wanted to be an inventor,and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people,and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired.I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet.He took me on a long walk in Central Park,listened carefully to me,and finally said,"That sounds like a really good idea,but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job."That logic made some sense to me,and he convinced me to think about it for 48hours before making a final decision.Seen in that light,it really was a difficult choice,but ultimately (最后),I decided I had to give it a shot.I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing.And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration,I took the less safe path to follow my passion,and I'm proud of that choice.For all of us,in the end,we are our choices.

B.He would be very excited if he tried it out.
C.He would be always having a doubt if he didn't try.
D.The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.

13.As I sit at home thinking about my upcoming adventure and the things I need to bring,it makes me even more excited to begin my travel.I will be making my way around the world.
The first places on the list are Andalusia and Africa in the book The Alchemist.I will need to pack a lot of things and make sure I have enough money to provide myself with food and enough to drink.The Sahara desert is always hot and requires plenty of water.
Next I will head to Mexico in the book Born to Run,where I will meet the Tarahumara Indian tribe(部落).I will need to get into shape and do some jogging(慢跑) if I want to keep up with them.I will have to pack my running shoes,though,because the Tarahumarans have mastered the art of running on the tough land.
After Mexico,my journey takes me to the Egyptian desert in the novel The Paris Vendetta.There I hope to help uncover an ancient conspiracy (阴谋) that goes back centuries.Just like my trip to Andalusia,I will have to make sure I have plenty of water.Packing the Camelbak products seems like the best idea,so I will have enough on hand at all times.I expect this adventure to be quite interesting,and I am very excited about it.
Lastly,I will make my way back to America in the book Shattered:Struck Down,But Not Destroyed.This makes me feel excited because like the main character in the book,I also wanted to become a professional athlete when I was younger.For this trip,I will go with an open mind and hopefully meet some friends along the way.
I am ready to embark on my adventure of traveling,and I cannot wait any longer!

7.I got tired of living the life that everybody told me I"should"be living,so one day I decided to start living life in my own ways.Frustrated(挫败)with my job,I came home,put on my shoes,and just started running.It felt so good to be free.That first day I ended up running 30 miles without stopping.Yes,I had rediscovered my old passion ( 酷爱的事物)-and it felt so good that I set a goal to support myself and my family from my running alone.
I trained hard every day.Since I wanted to be the best I could be,I knew I would have to set some clear goals for myself.A couple of my goals were:run a 135-mile ultra-marathon(超级马拉松) across Death Valley,win the Badwater Ultra-Marathon,and run a marathon to the South Pole.
I had no idea how I was going to achieve these goals,but they certainly encouraged me to work hard.Today,I am really grateful to say that I have achieved all of them.Shortly after completing these goals,I set another goal:to run fifty marathons,in fifty states,in fifty days.Nobody had done anything like this before.To be honest,I was not quite sure if I could.But there was only one way to find out…so I just started training and preparing to give it my best try.
I completed that goal one year ago,and it felt great!But for me,life is not all about achieving goals.Sure,it feels good to succeed,but the greatest reward for me was learning more about myself and what I was able to do.
Only by stepping out into the unknown and stretching(使倾注全力) ourselves can we really discover what our true potential(潜能) is.
