“My friend, I missed you so much!” I shouted(呼喊) out, when I saw the sea. But soon, it seemed that I couldn't speak any more because everything around me was 21 .I was 22 by its great natural power.

So I sat on the shore, enjoying the 　23　 sunlight(阳光) of the day. I lost myself in the rosy (玫红色的) sky. As the sun shone on the seawater, the surface turned golden. I could not find more words to describe(描述) that 　24 .

Walking slowly along the coast(海岸), I found a 　25 .　 It 　26 　that more than 2210 years ago, the first emperor(皇帝) in Chinese history, Yingzheng(嬴政--人名), came to the east to find a magic medicine(仙药) to make him live longer. But when he came here, he couldn't find any more 　27 . All there was, was the boundless(无尽的) seawater.

This scene 　28 Yingzheng. He thought about his 　29 　and experiences(体验). So he wrote three characters(汉字)　 “天尽头”(the end of the world). In fact, deep in his heart, he knew that his 　30 was drawing near. He was right. On his way back to Xianyang(咸阳) (the capital city of Qin dynasty(秦朝)), Yingzheng passed away.(死亡)

The sun had disappeared completely and the waves were patting(轻拍,) the shore.

Thousands of 　31 　came to me. What a 　32 　scene to that of two thousand years ago!

Suddenly, I seemed to understand everything. 　33 , the sea is always 34　 . Its big heart can hold(容纳) everything. When you have troubles, tell the sea, and it can 　35 your sadness and happiness. On the other hand, the sea is the witness(目击者) to 　36 . Qin(秦), Han(汉), Jin(金)? These dynasties(朝代) are just like the 　37 　in space, that shine brightly in history. But sooner or later, they fade (褪色) and disappear(消失). Everything changes, except(除了) the sea. In a hundreds years from now on, we will have become the dirt(泥土) in the earth. 　38 one day, a little boy will come here and want to know the 　39 of the sea. He will never know that a boy did the same thing hundreds of years before.

The waves 　40 　moving and the history of humanity (人性) rolls on(滚滚前进).
