I have dreamed of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting.
I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I
was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to see the sunrise. In the next morning,
we all got out of bed very early and got to the seaside at 3 o’clock. In the first half an hour, we imagined
how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be
when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually
lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But
my friends were still extremely cheerful.

A crowd cheered Kunle Adeyanju as he turned off his motorbike engine after completing a tiring
41-day trip. The 44-year-old left London on April 19 and arrived in Nigeria’s commercial center Lagos
on Sunday after travelling more than 8, 000 miles across 13 countries. He started the impressive journey
to raise funds for Rotary International to deal with polio(小儿麻痹症）in his native Nigeria.
Accompanied by a dozen bikers for the last stretch of the journey from the Republic of Benin ,
Adeyanju was welcomed by supporters in Ikeja, in central Lagos. Adeyanju, called “Lion Heart” by fans
won popularity among the public by posting daily pictures with comments about his journey on social
media. At every stop along the way, he was greeted by enthusiastic supporters.
Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!” Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light,
which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life.
However, waiting in the morning darkness is also one memory I cannot wipe from my mind forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed
determination, but what about the result after that It might turn out to be pleasing, unbelievable and
satisfying. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.

Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from
someone, ask questions about the topic. The answers will lead you to further learning, and the act of
What do we mean when we talk about repair The most commonly repaired items at home are
wooden furniture and table lamps and other small lights, but many people express a level of discomfort
for lack of knowledge about the skills required to repair them. However, we live in a time when many of
the objects we buy come with limited lifespans(寿命) —especially technological and electrical goods.
Although some objects may require expert aid, plenty of worn things around the home can be
repaired there, if you know what you’re doing. “One hundred years ago, everyone needed to repair things
themselves,” an expert says. “So many people had the skills, and they were passed down from generation
to generation. And not only the skills, but also the tools. The tools almost became the memories of that
repair and carried their own stories.”
working out questions will help you achieve a higher level of understanding.

Get to the truth. 39 . They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea. Even when an
idea sounds entirely unlikely, there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth. So if someone says
dinosaurs still exist today, think about why they believe this.
40
Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the
way. They ignore what is said because of who the speaker is. This goes the other way as well - do not just
think that some people are always right because of who they are or just because they are your friends.
A. Focus on the message.
B. This isn’t always true.
Repair often feels pleasant because it is a moment of fixing. The holes can be filled. The gaps will be
smoothed over. The language of repair has great significance in describing things: mending, fixing,
restoring, rebuilding, piecing together. All are words we use for the objects around us, but also ones we
apply to ourselves. We feel a little happy in the idea that few things are truly beyond salvage.
Repair is attractive for many reasons. It helps us think about how to care for the things we own. It
makes us mindful of what we waste, and what we should hold on to. It reminds us to bend in closer and
see the changes, the points where the needle went through the surface and pulled together something new.
32. How do many people feel when it comes to repairing things
C. This is human nature, after all.
D. In short: Do not stop being curious.
E. Active learners do not accept everything they learn.
F. If you find your inner voice difficult to control, argue with it.
G. Your inner voice can be useful, but it can also get in the way of learning.
