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 1    it is to have a passion in life.

That day I went home in Mom’s car. When Mom 2     at a red    light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed 3     rags (破舊衣服）.He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen 4     people like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.

But this man was 5     in some way. He was not sitting down with a 6     expression. Instead，he had a 7     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 have a radio 8     he’s homeless?，” I asked.

“He 9        it，” my mom replied.

“But why did’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He 10     something that he didn’t need.” 

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

That man must care so much about 11     that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that 12     is the key to life.

Since then I am always thinking of 13     is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes— these things are 14     a part of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a 15     day. We all need passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.
