20.I have come to realize that life is a journey.Whether we choose to keep moving around,or we choose to stay in one place,we are on a journey.That journey is not an easy one because every day it makes us face new problems in new ways.
When I was a little boy,I liked moving around.I always looked forward to the next trip away or the next holiday.Maybe it is because I lived in a small and boring town.How I wanted the school holidays when I could go to the coast!There I met with friends and my cousins,and had so much fun.I also met new people and sometimes we would travel together exploring(探索) different towns and beachside places.
When I finished high school,I kept moving.In my first year out of school I traveled with a friend.We visited seventeen countries in Europe,working different jobs as we went.What an adventure(冒险) we had!No one could keep us still!When one place or one job became boring,we went off.If we didn't like the people we were staying with,we said goodbye.In this way I went to three different universities to study and lived in five different towns.
All this carried on for many years until I got married and had my own family.Now having a family is a different thing because you cannot choose who they are as you want.When you stay in the same place,with the same persons,you start a whole new journey.That is the journey of facing your mistakes and trying to make them right.Rather than walk away and meet someone new when you make a mistake,you have to say that you are sorry and try again.When the ones you love hurt you,you may feel angry or unhappy.But instead of making the decision to leave,you have to try to tell them how you feel and forgive(宽恕) them.
Then you will stay in the same town,choosing one place to live and one job to remain in.There again you are challenged to face life,doing things such as paying your bills and trying hard to get along well with your boss.You have to keep on at your job when you feel like giving it all up and traveling again.
So rather than move around on different trips,you are on a new journey.This journey of staying still is just as important as all the travels in the world.

110.给短文拟一个英文标题.Life is a journey./A still life journey instead of moving around./.
分析 本文是一篇人物故事类短文.主要叙述了我对人生的一些认识.我意识到人生就是一个旅途.不管我们或者不停的移动,或者选择待在一个地方,我都是在旅途中.我是个小孩的时候,就喜欢到处走到.总是盼望着下一段旅途或者下一个假期.在上完高中的时候,我就开始了旅行.路上遇到了一个朋友,我们一边打工,一边游览了17个欧洲国家.在一个地方待够了,就到另一个地方去.这样持续了多年以后,我成家了,这时你就不能也让他们跟着你旅行了.选择待在一个地方,这也开启了另一段旅程.如果家里有人伤害了你,你要对他说你的感受,并要原谅他们,不能一走了之.
解答 106.答案:Because he lived in a small and boring town.细节理解题.根据"Maybe it is because I lived in a small and boring town."可知我生活在一个很小的,无聊的小城里.想到别处去看看所以这是我喜欢到处转转走走的原因.故填Because he lived in a small and boring town.
107.答案:They worked different jobs as they went.细节理解题.根据"We visited seventeen countries in Europe,working different jobs as we went."可知我们欧洲游玩的时候,是边工作边玩的,所以旅行的花费是我们打工赚来的,故填They worked different jobs as they went.
108.答案:Try to tell them how you feel and forgive them (instead of leaving)细节理解题.根据"you have to try to tell them how you feel and forgive(宽恕) them."可知如果有家人伤害了你,你得告诉他们你的感受,并原谅他们,而不是离开.故填Try to tell them how you feel and forgive them (instead of leaving).
109.答案:当你犯错时不是一走了之再找别人相处,而是要道歉后再重新尝试一次.首先要明白rather than的意思是"而不是"经常用来连接两个并列的名词,代词,动词,非谓语动词,分句等等.这个句子的正常语序是you have to say that you are sorry and try again rather than walk away and meet someone new when you make a mistake.that you are sorry是宾语从句作say的宾语,rather than连接的是try again和walk away and meet someone new,when you make a mistake.所以翻译的时候,要适当注意语序.所以答案是当你犯错时不是一走了之再找别人相处,而是要道歉后再重新尝试一次.
110.答案:Life is a journey./A still life journey instead of moving around./…主旨大意题.本文主要叙述了作者对人生的一些认识:就像一个旅行.所以答案是Life is a journey./A still life journey instead of moving around.
