Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to             how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I        that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and       friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was      , nothing about my term in France was what I      .
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was       by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting      I received some shocking news from my program coordinator（协调人）: there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to      out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a       this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(诱惑) to      my native language, I asked not to be       with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I       myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian（巴西人） the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDS! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the      .
I left France with many      , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always       to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends      France we enjoyed together. I love how people       seem so different, but end up being so    . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the friend people       to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful     .

Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours (绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement (限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons (见识).
We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey—and the best part of yourself.
