提示:加灰底部分为高考重点词汇,画线部分为高考写作常用佳句,需积累背诵。
Ann Jones is one of the most interesting people I have met; she is only twentyfive, but she has travelled to over fifty different countries. Five years ago, she was a typist in Birmingham, but she decided to quit her job and see the world. Since then, her life had changed completely.
The first time she went abroad was seven years ago, when she was just 18. She took a boat to France and then travelled around Europe for five weeks. She has visited Europe many times since that first trip. However, this holiday was the one ①which made her start travelling. She never forgets the excitement of those five weeks. When she was on a train, somebody stole her purse. So she lost all her money and had to work in a restaurant for two weeks. She made some good friends there and has returned several times since then.
How did she find money for her travels? After her first trip abroad, she went home and worked for two years, saving all the money. Now she travels around, ②finding work when her money was low. She has made a lot of friends and has learned quite a few languages. Although she has had some difficulties and has often been sick, she has never thought about giving up her travels. “My first time abroad changed my life,” she says, “and I have wanted to travel ever since.”
