When I was a boy, every holiday I had seemed wonderful. My 36 took me by train or by car to a hotel by the 37. All day I 38on the sands（沙滩） with strange 39children. We made houses and gardens, and 40the tide（潮汐） destroy them. When the tide went out, we 41 over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the 42see
med to shine always brightly 43 the water was always warm. Sometimes we left beach and walked in the country, 44ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were 45 in one’s pockets or good places where we could 46ice creams. Each day was very happy.
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good 47is much the same as it was. I 48like the sun and warm sand and the sound of 49beating the rocks. I no longer wish to 50any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets. 51, I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I 52what my ideal (理想的) holiday will be like when I am 53. All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about 54who make houses and gardens with sands, 55 watch the incoming tide…

“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 36 , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 37 air.
Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really 38 thing to do．But then she took a step 39 . “Come on, Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats（犒劳物） and 40 him in front of the open door. “Touch.” And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a 41 position. She 42 him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!” And I saw and became 43 . Over the last few days I have been with Kolby. Each time he comes in I bring him back to the44 door and ask him to close. There have been 45in the beginning, but lately more and more successes.
However, there remains much work to be done. I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again 46 he will close the door from a distance. But, I now realize,47 you keep to the focus, the48 will be completed.
What a 49 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 50 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby.
A wish is just a wish until you decide to take 51 . Once you 52 the belief that it is “too hard”, then it remains “too hard ” and out of 53 . Once you want to accomplish a goal, and 54 that it is “easy”, then it becomes “easy” to do what needs 
to be done．Just 55 doing it.
