Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation. I didn’t just want a small ________ in the backyard. I started thinking about doing a solo (独自的) ________ somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out the map and drew a 1, 500-mile route along which I would be ________ from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I ________ my plan with my dad, he ________ as I thought he would. Because I get my adventurous ________ from him, he was all for it.
I had only been away from my home for three days, but there was an inner ________ going on. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I really could make it. The other part of me was ready to ________ to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.
On the road, I met another ________ who was quite a bit older than I was. He started his journey alone by bike at the southern part of Norway and just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of ________. It encouraged me not to ________.
As I listened to my ________ artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled (踩踏板) with my feet. There was nobody around me for miles. ________, that wasn’t entirely true. There were mosquitoes—millions of them. My arms were so dotted with ________ that they looked like a topographical (地形的) map. But, however ________ it would be, nothing could stop my advance on the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.
