Backpacking through Africa, I always carried some food with me 1 I couldn’t find something to eat.
I was 2 through a local market one day when I chanced upon a jar of 3 jam. I could find tins of apple and strawberry in every corner store but this was the 4 time I had seen peach. I took it.
For the next few weeks, when I was 5 the need for a little treat, I would carefully 6 the lid and spoon a bit on to a biscuit. Mmm, delicious. I didn’t 7 it with anybody. It sat safely in my 8 , taken out on only special 9 .
One cold and cloudy afternoon, while I was waiting for a local bus, it started to rain. Everybody scattered for 10 and so did I. But I was already wet through so I quickly searched through my pack for some 11 clothes.
In my hurry to 12 further discomfort, I forgot that the jar of jam was 13 in my clothing. One forceful yank (猛拉) and my 14 jar of jam crashed to the concrete ground, smashing into pieces.
I was so sad that I almost cried. And then, in the corner of my eye, I 15 an old woman in rags approaching. Without hesitation, she bent down and picked up the half of the jar that still looked 16 .
Still 17 , she stuck two fingers into the jar, scooped out the 18 jam and placed it into her toothless mouth. Carefully, like fish bones, she 19 the pieces of glass. She studied the broken container 20 she was certain that there was nothing left. Then she left.
My bus arrived shortly after and, as we drove off, I wondered if the jam would taste the same to me.

You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure? That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.
For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure. For this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes something physical. Often the goal is to push their body’s limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).
For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals. Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed traveler who enjoys peace and comfort. Anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the traveler’s lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.
Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. Adventure depends on the person’s physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU — not for the person next to you.
Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. Go beyond your normal routine and try something new. If you usually spend your vacation sun-bathing on a beach, try hiking, instead, through the mountains. Look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.
