I didn"t think I had a passion (激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the
next 1 .
It was not long ago that I first learned how 2 having a passion is to life.
That day I went with my mum to drop my sister off at the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped
at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my 3 . It was a man dressed in rags. He was homeless.
That didn"t 4 me, for I had seen many like him before.
But in some way he was 5 . This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his
hand and was dancing happily to the music. The 6 seemed to be the most precious thing he had.
"Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he"s homeless?" I asked.
"He 7 it," she replied. I was still unable to 8 .
"But if he"s homeless, why doesn"t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He 9 it on something he
doesn"t need."
"Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren"t the most important things. We need happiness, too."
That man must care enough about 10 to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that
happiness is the key to life. Without it, there"s nothing to look forward to.
Since then I"ve never gone a day without thinking of what"s truly important. A home, a meal, clothes-these
things are only part of the picture. What"s often forgotten is that we all need a pleasure, a light in a dark day.
We all need a passion. |

nothing left between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled down," said one of the villagers
alive. "There is no water, no food and no one has come to help."

where I was studying, all of the students were safe. They were on the field, so most children didn"t feel
anything. The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor. However, though Mrs Young
was also on the second floor, she didn"t feel anything. She didn"t know what happened until a teacher told her
about it. Those teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings. Mr Emond, the maths teacher from
Australia, said that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him, but then
another teacher said that it was an earthquake. After those words Mr Emond felt better. Mrs Davis and Mr Frost
didn"t feel anything either.
My mother didn"t feel anything. She didn"t even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking (moving
from side to side) light. My dad saw the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many

The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully
after the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children
said, "We don"t think you saved money by going to the supermarket."
