题目内容
19.We have been driving in fog all morning,but the fog is lifting now.The little seaside villages are (36)appearing,one by one."There is my grandmother's house,"I say,(37)pointingacross the bay to a shabby old house.I am in Nova Scotia on a pilgrimage (朝圣) with Lise,my granddaughter,seeking roots for her,retracing (追溯) (38)treasured memory for me.Lise was one of the mobile children,(39)moved from house to house in childhood.She longs for a sense of (40)home,and so we have come to Nova Scotia where my husband and I were born and where our ancestors (41)lived for 200years.
We soon (42)pullup by the house and I tell her what it was like here,the memories (43)rushing back,swift as the tide (潮水).
Suddenly,I long to walk again in the (44)housewhere I was once so gloriously a child.It still (45)belongstoa member of the family,but has not been lived in for a while.We cannot go into the house,but I can still walk(46)through the rooms in memory.
Here,my mother (47)sat in her bedroom window and wrote in her diary.I can still see the enthusiastic family (48)pouring into and out of the house.I could never have enough of being (49)with them.However,that was long after those childhood days.Lise (50)listens attentively as I talk and then says,"So this is where I (51)began; where I belong."
She has (52)foundher roots.To know where I come from is one of the great longings of the human(53)heartTo be rooted is"to have an origin".We need (54)that origin.Looking backward,we discover what is unique in us; learn the (55)meaning of"I".We must all go home again-in reality or memory.

When our restaurant business failed,we headed north in a camping truck to Texas,hoping to have a"fresh start".
At the (31)entrance of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷) State Park,I(32)noticed a job advertisement hiring park hosts.The position offered a(33)convenient,permanent campsite in the park,and (34)inreturn,the hosts served as a link between the park's guests and the rangers (护林人).It was the perfect solution:a rent-free place to reorganize our lives.We entered the park and I made an (35)appointment for the following day.
The park was(36)crowded,so it took us some time to find an available site.That evening,as we finished our dinner,my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table.We(37)immediately climbed onto the table and,for the next four hours,waited for them to(38)leave our camp.
Having survived that night,we were(39)confident that everything else would be all right.The next day we met with the people who ran the park.They explained our
(40)responsibilities and gave us a beautiful campsite.
That evening,(41)however,we learned about the canyon(42)snows.They were strong and cold,rocking our little camping truck violently,and we lay (43)quarrelling in the dark until the winds died away.
(44)During the weeks that followed,we learned to survive in our truck and(45)liveon
the little money my wife(46)earned by substitute teaching.Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful(47)family.For a time after our business(48)failed I thought I might lose my family as well.
Living in the tiny(49)truck with no television,we sat close together reading and talking.One evening,standing under a jeweled sky,I found myself(50)thankful for all the hardships.We had walked the trails and climbed the canyon walls.We had become a family!
