Question

My father was born in a small town in the US. He wasn’t _________ what he wanted to get from life, but something told him to get out and begin a new adventure(冒险).

He began that adventure travelling to cities in the US, _________ going on to Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and the Philippines. He _________ his wife and three daughters with him and went wherever the road took him.

It's easy to feel lonely when you're on the _________. As my mother said repeatedly, “We made lots of new friends on our trip — most of them were mechanics(机修工)”, since we often spent hours in _________ shops. But that was a way better than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine(发动机) to cool when it was 40℃ outside.

Getting along well with each other sometimes _________ impossible. There were always a lot of arguments, especially among us back-seat passengers about _________ had to sit in the middle.

But _________ it was hard at that time, we did learn a lot about forgiveness(谅解).

When we were traveling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one-hour _______ but was nearly three, because of bad roads and worse traffic. “Did you put our suitcases(行李箱) in the car?” my father asked my mother as we arrived in Quezon City. From the back seat, we saw her slowly turn ____________ my father.

“No,” she said. “I thought you did.” That was ______________ a seven-hour car trip turned into a 16-hour car trip, which was mostly spent in silence.

On occasions like that, we had to learn to ______________ our anger because we were stuck(困在) in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and pushing one of my sisters out, I kept my ______________ to myself.

This is why road trips were like mobile(移动的) universities to us. We earned our PhDs（博士学位）in how to ______________ with other people just by traveling in that old car.

And if we were somehow given a second ______________ at life, we would do it all over again. Only this time, I'd put the suitcases in the car myself.
