Question

We are going on a long train journey. Out of the windows, we can see cars running on nearby highways, children waving at a crossing, cattle grazing（吃草） on a distant hillside, smoke pouring from factories, village houses and city skylines.

But   36   in our minds is the final destination（目的地）. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will   37   into the station. Bands will be playing and flags   38   . Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will   39   and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a(n)   40   jigsaw（拼图） puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles（过道）, damning（诅咒） the minutes for waiting, waiting for the station.

“When we reach the   41   , that will be it!” We cry “When I am 18.” “When I   42   a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!” “When I put the   43   kid through college.” “When I have   44   off the debts!” “When I get a promotion（提升）.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live   45   ever after!”

   46   , we come to realize that there is no such station as we arrive at once and for all. The   47   joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It   48   leaves us behind.

“Cherish（珍视） the moment” is a good   49   . It is the burdens（负担） of today that drive us to keep on   50   . And it is the regrets over yesterday that motivate（激发） us to overcome the   51   and look forward to the future.

So   52   pacing the aisles and counting the miles.   53   , climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot（赤脚） more   54   , swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived   55   we go along. The station will come soon enough.
