I got up early this morning. After I walked the dogs, I went to work. On my way to work I passed my neighbor (邻居), Stanley. Stanley is old and has lived in the neighborhood for about eighty years. His parents were from Poland. After I passed Stanley, I came to a little store. The owner (店主), Victor, came from Mexico twenty-five years ago and opened the food store. Then I walked to Ashland Avenue. Ashland was very busy. There were cars, buses, restaurants and a lot of people. After work I rushed (奔) home to see the dogs and took them for a walk. I took them to Chicago Avenue because there are many clothes stores and shoe stores. I went to see what was for sale. After I got home, I stood in front of my house with my dogs and talked to my neighbors. I heard lots of kids playing after school. After the sun set (落下), my stre et got a little quieter.
【小题1】Before the writer went to work, he _____.

I didn’t think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.
That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye（吸引我的世界）. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him before.
But in some ways he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression(表情). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had.
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought（尽管） he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He bought it,” she replied. I was still unable to understand.
“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.”
The man must care too much about music to buy a radio instead of food clothes. I soon realized（意识到）that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to.
Since then I’ve never gone a day without thinking of what’s truly important. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are only part of the picture. What’s often forgotten is that we all need a pleasure, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.
