We are going on a long train journey. Out of the windows, we can see cars running on nearby highways, children waving at a crossing, cattle grazing（吃草） on a distant hillside, smoke pouring from factories, village houses and city skylines.
But 36 in our minds is the final destination（目的地）. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will 37 into the station. Bands will be playing and flags 38 . Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will 39 and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a(n) 40 jigsaw（拼图） puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles（过道）, damning（诅咒） the minutes for waiting, waiting for the station.
“When we reach the 41 , that will be it!” We cry “When I am 18.” “When I 42 a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!” “When I put the 43 kid through college.” “When I have 44 off the debts!” “When I get a promotion（提升）.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live 45 ever after!”
46 , we come to realize that there is no such station as we arrive at once and for all. The 47 joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It 48 leaves us behind.
“Cherish（珍视） the moment” is a good 49 . It is the burdens（负担） of today that drive us to keep on 50 . And it is the regrets over yesterday that motivate（激发） us to overcome the 51 and look forward to the future.
So 52 pacing the aisles and counting the miles. 53 , climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot（赤脚） more 54 , swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived 55 we go along. The station will come soon enough.
