and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him. a raw fish head is not goodnot even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps. “do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman. “not in my head,” said the boy. the boy lay on the ground and thought. “one whole fish costs only two pounds. i had paid him three pounds for the fish head. why couldnt i have the whole fish for soup,

him, too, even when we werent with him. then i remembered a family tradition (传统) when our children were small. when leaving their grandparents home, each child would write a love note for their grandparents to find after we were gone. they hid notes in the food box, or even in the fridge. for days their grandparents would smile as they discovered these notes of the childrens love. so as i cleaned dads room downstairs before he got home, i began writing notes. some showed my love. most notes were in his room downstairs where he would be able to find, but one note was hidden upstairs under his pillow. “dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. we are so glad!”my notes were a reminder (提醒的事物) of our love for dad. just like his medicines made him better

of experience. but do you know what should you do before you begin your backpacking？when you are planning a backpacking adventure, the first thing to do in your opinion may be the decision on the places where you will visit. however, it is not the most important thing. great adventures will make you face great danger. why? often backpacking is an adventure, and you will visit strange places that you have never been to. think about what might happen while you are traveling. nobody knows what will happen during the trip. so you should not only imagine the enjoyment you will have on the trip, but also think about the possible danger you might face.making travel insurance (保险) is the most crucial. it can make sure that you stay safe on the trip. so you should buy a backpacker travel insurance policy (保险单) before you leave. backpacker policies are specially designed to meet your needs, by offering a high level of cover for a long time of travel. you can buy a backpacker policy from one week to two years or longer time. the backpacker insurance policy covers many activities such as swim and ski, and provides protection for these activities. so buy a backpacker travel insurance policy is very important.it is a good idea to compare a few insurance companies before you make a decision. you should always carefully check the backpacker policy and make sure the activities you want to do are all covered by the policy. 33.the passage can interest the man who _.a. is too busy to have a few days off b. runs a company selling sports clothesc. plans to go for a
