Mark Twain was a famous American writer. One day he went to a city by train. He was a busy man. He usually 1 something. When he was in the train, the conductor asked him for his 2. Mark Twain looked for it here and there, but he could not find it. The conductor knew Mark Twain. She said, “If you can't find it, it doesn't matter.” “Oh, but it does,” said Mark Twain. “I must find it. If I can't find it, how can I 3 where I'm going?” Another day, he went to Dijon by train. He was very 4 and wanted to sleep. He asked the conductor to wake him up before the train 5 Dijon. But first he explained that he was a heavy sleeper. “I would probably protest (抗议）6 when you try to wake me up. But do not 7. Just put me off the train anyway.” Then Mark Twain went to sleep. By the time he woke up, the train had already been in Paris. He 8 that the conductor had forgotten his words. He was very 9. He ran up to the conductor and began 10 him, “I never was so angry in all my life.” The conductor looked hard at him and said “I just put a man off the train at Dijon. You were not half as angry as him!”

    One day, the students of Class 6 were reading in the classroom. Mrs. Brown came in and told the whole class they would have to change the 1 the next week. All of the students disagreed 2 Mrs. Brown, so they shouted when Mrs. Brown said it was because a new student would 3 the class. "Why must we move to another classroom just because someone new is coming?" One of them asked 4. Mrs. Brown stood there without saying anything. After a few minutes, she told them to be  5 to their new classmate and then she left.

    The following week, the head teacher, Mr White himself brought the new student to their class. 6,he pushed the new student to the class because the student was in a wheelchair(轮椅). Mr. White introduced the new student Jeff to the class. He said that Jeff now was a 7of the class and they should work together. He added," Helping each other is very important. " 8 could fully understand what Mr. White meant at first.

    Over time, they began to understand the reason. Jeff was a9 student and often helped the students who didn't understand their work. The class felt very thankful to him. They took care of him because they knew that when someone did something for you, you should do something 10 in return.

On 28 of March Richard Byrd stood outside the small house. He shook hands with the menwho were leaving. They were heading back to the main camp on the coast of Antarctica （南极洲）. 

He would1 to work at the base camp. 

"I don't like leaving you here alone，"Pete Demas said. "I'll be2 ，"Byrd replied. 

He was looking forward to the challenge of spending the winter at the base camp. He would be recording the weather. There was plenty of food and fuel （燃料） in the tiny house. He felt sure3 would go wrong. 

But something did go wrong. Byrd was burning the fuel for4 . But the fumes （有毒气体）were not leaving the house. Slowly he was being poisoned（中毒）. On May 31 he broke down. 

When he came to，he made himself into his sleeping bag. Three days later he5 it was a Sunday. The men would be6 his radio message. Byrd moved hard out of bed and 7 the call. He didn't want the men to know how 8 he was. It was too dangerous for them to come to save him. 

By will-power alone，Byrd managed to stay alive. He was so9 that he could hardly walk. But he forced himself to do the basics. He10 food and made myself eat. He took11 of weather and sent radio messages. But by late June，the men12 that something was wrong. Most of the time，Byrd's messages made no sense. 

On August 11Demas and two others reached the base camp. They13 recognized （认出） Byrd. He was very thin and looked terrible. Byrd14 them and then fell to the ground. The men had arrived in time. After two months of care，Byrd's good15 returned. He and his men worked together again. 

In life, do you choose to take the road everyone has taken, or do you choose the path that is best for you? It might be 1 to choose what everyone has done, especially if it seemed to be the right fit for them. But is that what truly 2 for you? 

Recently, on a hiking trip, my partner and I decided to take a popular trail (特定路线) in the 3 direction. This was an old, well-traveled trail that people had been hiking and biking from A to Z for years. For our own 4 , we chose to travel from Z to A. Going backwards made more5 with my plan. The trip would take several days and going backwards made it 6 that I would end the trip closer to the airport for my flight home. 

As my partner and I walked, everyone crossing our path had something to say, "You're going the wrong way. Are you 7 ? Are you returning because you forgot something? Are you crazy? The path crossed a highway somewhere. When it did, even passing cars beeped (发出嘟嘟声) to8 us of the "right" direction. 

Why did people only see one way? Because that's what everyone does? Because that's how it's always been done? We even 9 to talk to a Danish woman who said, "We have a saying in my country: When you go backwards to everyone else, it's because you're avoiding something. "I couldn't 10 it. We were just enjoying connecting with nature, hiking the way that best 11 us. Had we gone the "wrong way"? No. At least, not for us. 

I decided to 12 the path I chose. In the end, we had a (n) 13 experience. Choosing the "wrong" path was 14 for me. When the 15 in your heart tells you something is right (or wrong) , listen to it. It's speaking to you for a reason and it knows, better than anyone, what's best for you. 

Different people may have different hobbies. I think hobbies can help us relax and learn more things. I have four good friends. They all have their hobbies.
