1 . 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
____somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out
____and drew the 1,500-mile route along which I would be
____ from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I
____my plans 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
____ three days now, but there was an inner
____going on inside of me. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I
____ 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 had started his journey
____ by bike at the southern part of Norway and had 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
____ 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 map (地形图). But, however
____ it would be, nothing could stop my advance towards the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.
