Passion, like life, is about the journey, not the destination.
Kimberly and I have been planning a trip to Europe for a year. This was a/an 31 of ours. We took our friends Frantoise and Stein Eriksen with us.
The most 32 part of the journey started with a train ride that had some curveballs (不顺利). When we were trying to get on a 33 from Zurich to Croatia at first, we had gotten the departure time wrong and had to 34 to the station. Unfortunately, It was late. So we turn to a ship journey. To 35 it to the ship, we finally found a taxi and arrived an hour late. 36 , they waited for us.
Once we got onto the ship, we 37 it was not like a large hotel with great service. It was a tight room. The bathroom was very 38 . The shower was a spout (喷头) connected to the bathroom sink. You 39 it on and sprayed (喷洒) yourself, along with the rest of the room.
The week-long ship ride was full of 40 . There were people from different nationalities speaking different languages. We stopped on island of all sizes. We bicycled 30-40 kilometers. Then there were high winds---so high that the buses couldn’t 41 because they might blow over. So we took an expensive taxi. And 42 back to make our flight home.
While we loved the more predictable parts of the trip, our real passion was in the 43 —the missed rides, the 44 ship. The mixture of cultures, and even the 45 .
Sometimes people are so 46 that it scares them to do something different. 47 when they do get out of their comfort zone, the different experiences they once thought were 48 are what stand out. Mixing things up, trying new things, seeing something through another person’s eyes, being 49 to adventure—this is how you create 50 .

“I really want to, but I can’t because…” It hurts every time I hear someone say it. I see it for what it is—an excuse. Every one of us has hopes, dreams and goals. We talk about how we will achieve them, but when it’s time to do them, we use that sentence.
During my teen years, I felt stuck. I wanted to learn so many things and achieve my wildest dreams, yet I couldn’t. Living in an underdeveloped country, we suffer from a lack of water, electricity, security and opportunities. And, we don’t have training courses, libraries or clubs, and the Internet is slower than a snail crawling through peanut butter.
One day, I had had enough. I decided to use the resources I had to create the future I dreamed of. I set my mind on getting the Japanese Monbusho Scholarship. I found articles and books online to become fluent in Japanese. In a few months, I was able to hold a simple conversation in Japanese.
I realized that I would need money. I set out to build a hedgehog (刺猬) care website. Every day, after school, I would research hedgehogs and write detailed articles about them. I studied Japanese and wrote about hedgehogs for three years.
I’m sure you’re expecting a spirit-lifting ending where I travel to Japan and live off my website. That’s not how this story ends. The fact is, I didn’t even get the chance to apply for the scholarship. I failed. Unwilling to accept the facts, I started an online university the next year. And the hedgehog website made me a total of $60.
I can tell you that I tried, but it didn’t work out. It did—just not the way I expected. I’m not in Japan, but I know how to speak Japanese and have met many interesting people along the way. My hedgehog website didn’t succeed, but I created a new one that’s even better with the experience I gained. I didn’t let my difficulties stand in my way, and I created my own opportunities. Anyone can embrace the cards they’ve been dealt and create their own way to make them into a winning hand.

For many years, scientists and animal lovers have worked to make the world safer for endangered species. Now, there is something that needs protection from these protected animals—a famous French cheese called Roquefort, known as the “King of Cheeses”.
Roquefort is made from sheep’s milk in the southern part of the French mountains. Farmers have been making Roquefort for thousands of years, and they follow many rules when making it, to be sure that it is done in the traditional way. One of the rules is that they must let their sheep live freely in the mountains.
However, following these rules has become very dangerous. Wolves have moved into the area, and they have killed 62 sheep. The wolves are an endangered species, and have not been seen in the French mountains since the 1920s. No one is allowed to kill the wolves, but the farmers are now saying it is impossible for their sheep to live in the same mountains as the wolves. Farmers have dogs to protect the sheep and have also built electric fences, but they say they will not have enough money to continue making Roquefort once they have spent it all on keeping their sheep safe. Many people have said that wolves that attack sheep should be killed, since they have become a threat to the farmers’ jobs. Others think that anyone who wants the wolves killed is trying to make them become extinct.
