A
This is my son Matthew's last night at home before college.I know that this is good news.I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school.I know that this is finest hour.But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can't stop crying.
Through the sorrow,I feel a rising embarrassment.”Pull yourself together!” I tell myself.There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones.How dare I feel so shocked and upset?
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen.Through them,I have explored the mysterious,complicated bond between fathers and sons. As My wife and I raised them,I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me.After my parents' divorce，I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio.By the time Sunday came around,I was unable to enjoy the day's activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now，standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions,I realize it's me who has become a boy again.All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back,sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare.It already has the feel of aa guest bed.In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket.That was our nightly routine until one evening he said,”Daddy，I don't think I need a blanket tonight.”I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading.I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping.I'll never have to worry about that again,I realize.
For his part,Matthew has been a rock.He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office.And I'm glad.After all,someone's got to be strong.I'm proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.

B
As I sit at home thinking about my upcoming ad-venture and the things I need to bring, it makes me even more excited to begin my travel. I will be making my way around the world.

The first places on the list arc Andalusia and Africa in the book The Alchemist. I will need to pack a lot of stuff and make sure I have enough money to provide myself with food and enough to drink. The Sahara desert is always hot and requires plenty of water.
Next I will head to Mexico in the book Born to Run, where I will encounter the Tarahumara Indian tribe. I will need to get into shape and do some jogging if I want to keep up with them while running. I will have to pack my running shoes, though, because the Tarahumarans have mastered the art of running on the tough land.
After Mexico, my journey takes me to the Egyptian desert in the novel The Paris Vendetta. There I hope to help uncover an ancient conspiracy (阴谋) that goes back centuries. Just like my trip to Andalusia 91 will have to make sure I have plenty of water. Packing the Camelbak products seems like the best idea, so I will have water on hand at all times. I expect this adventure to be quite interesting, and I am very excited about it.
Lastly, I will make my way back to America in the book Shattered: Struck Down, But Not Destroyed. This makes me feel excited because like the main character in the book, I also wanted to become a professional athlete when I was younger. For this trip, I will go with an open mind and hopefully meet some friends along the way.
I am ready to embark on my adventure of traveling, and I cannot wait any longer!
1、According to the passage, the Tarahumara Indian tribe .
A．settles in Africa B．lives in a desert
C．is good at running D．needs running shoes
2、The Camelbak products are probably made to .
A．help people do jogging exercise
B．supply people with water
C．protect people from the sun
D．show people the right direction
3、The underlined words “embark on” in the last paragraph probably mean “ ”.
A．start B．prepare
C．finish D．record
4、What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Everyone should travel around the world.
B．Traveling makes people wise,
C．My traveling experience.
D．My travel plan.
