    Things like this  39  occur in our daily life. For example, last week when going on a tour we failed to find the  40  we had been seeking.  41  we were so uncomfortable as if on pins and needles(如坐针毡).In such a case we had better  42  home immediately, but most of us tourists still chose to  43  our way until we finished visiting all the scenic spots,  44  actually we did not quite enjoy them.
