Question

I used to have little passion (激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how______it is to have a passion in life.

That day 1 went home in Mom’s car. When Mom ____ at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (破舊衣服). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen many like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.

But this man was different in some way. He was not sitting down with a sad expression. Instead, he had a _____in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍貴的) thing he had.

“Mom, why does that man _____a radio though he’s homeless?” I asked.

“He bought it.” She replied.

“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He______for something that he didn’t need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”

That man must care so much about ______ for that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that______is the key to life.

Since then I am always thinking of what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are not_____ parts of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.
