Travel has been a considerable part of my life and I have different kinds of journeys to many parts of the world. Often in my travels, I was alone, traveling under difficult conditions in wartime, and I have flown over the oceans many times when I wanted to get quickly from one place to another. But a sea voyage, especially a long one, has something unusual of its own, and after taking a few of them, I became interested in the reasons why people take such trips and how they are affected（影响）by them. That is why I wanted to write LIFE NUMBER TWO.
Some people go for escape（逃避）from grief（悲伤）or failure, some from a wish not to be very long in one place in the world. Others go to celebrate a marriage, or are a retirement（退休）, and many people take voyages to enjoy a luxury（享乐）they do not have at home and for shipboard fun. When you put all these motives （动机）into a forced companionship（伙伴关系） and sometimes an unpleasant one—a voyage can be like a mirror held up to modern life with all its variety（多样）. Voyages can be boring but they can give some passengers new view on life, renew courage and awaken a sense of the size of the world.
There are many books about ocean voyages, but as a rule they are magazines or diaries of travel. LIFE NUMBER TWO is a novel written not mainly to show shipboard life but to tell the stories of a few people on board, trying their past lives and their possible futures into the narrative（叙述）.It also deals with some modern social problems worth our consideration.
1.The writer spent ______in traveling.

3.A sea voyage in one’s life is______ as the writer says.
