Take a Slow Walk
By Zero Wu
As an Indian saying goes, he who walks too fast needs to take a           , waiting for his soul to catch up.
I am the one who             walk too fast. Lost in life, with a fast-paced lifestyle, I hurried on with my journey until some day I began to learn to take a       （3）      walk.
I sometimes doubt myself            what I insist on and give upon is totally different from            of other people and whether I have no sense of fear about it. In my prelife, I must be a             riding a horse galloping (驰骋) freely all over the world.            in present life, I am a woman of iron will             a man. With prelife's blood flowing inside, I can at any time carry my bag to take on my long-time adventure.

As a child, I always             myself buried in books and naively (天真烂漫地) thought, cup of tea and book in hand, I was in a paradise, for I always bore in mind that "           tea can intoxicate (使陶醉) me, why need I drink wine? Now that books can make the room sweet, why are flowers           ?"
I am a person who has just begun to take a slow walk,             my own stories as "fables" of a person who has             the courage to take my free-willed journey       （14）      the massive land; who has been           from any intense feelings along with worries; who has learnt to take a            after getting deeply drunk; who will let go if the "bird" in heart has to fly away; who wishes to live in the afterlife as a tree described by Chen Danyan             thoughts or pains; who long keeps smiles and inner peace, although crowded on the subway train.
I leave behind the speech that I have             for lives around the lips at which overgrows wild grass. I might as well bury it in a small garden, or             my emotion to it, dismissing the sweet of life to            my ever-lastingly meaningful written words.
