I used to have little passion (激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how______it is to have a passion in life.

That day 1 went home in Mom’s car. When Mom ____ at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (破旧衣服). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen many like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.

But this man was different in some way. He was not sitting down with a sad expression. Instead, he had a _____in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵的) thing he had.

“Mom, why does that man _____a radio though he’s homeless?” I asked.

“He bought it.” She replied.

“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He______for something that he didn’t need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”

That man must care so much about ______ for that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that______is the key to life.

Since then I am always thinking of what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are not_____ parts of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.

The word“day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using“day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转)of the earth. At the equator(赤道)day and night are sometimes the same length(长度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜)toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.
