Mr. Brown was in school for only one year when he was young and later on he was made to help his father to work in the fields. There wasn’t e    rain for several years and though there was a river nearby, the water was polluted. The farmers dared not w   their corn with the polluted water. So they had several poor harvests. They had l     food and sometimes they were hungry. One year his parents died of hunger and there was no one to care for him. He had to go to find work in the town and he learned to drive a truck in a factory.
Coming from a village made him strong and ready to help others. He met a girl who loved him, so they got married. His wife works in a shop and his children study in a school. He tries his best to s    everything even if a pound, and hardly eats in a restaurant. He’s good at c    and always takes some food he has made at home with him when he goes to work in the morning.
It was Sam’s eighth birthday yesterday. The boy hoped to have dinner in a restaurant. At first, Mr. Brown wouldn’t agree. Then he thought his son had never had anything in restaurants before, so he decided to give in. The boy was very happy and the Browns went to a restaurant for the
f   time. When they finished their dinner, Mr. Brown said to the waiter, “My son has some meat l   on his plate. Could you give me a bag so that I can take it home for the dog?” “Oh, Dad!” the boy called out. “We haven’t got a dog at all!”

I didn’t think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show.
It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.
On that day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, s  on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him b  .
But in some ways he was d   . This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing h    to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had.
“ Mum, why does that man have A、radio even thought he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He bought it,” she replied.
“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He w  it on something he doesn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.”
That man must c    enough music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the k   to life.
Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.
