When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My parents took me by train or by car to a hotel by the
26 . All day, I seem to remember, I played on the sands with strange
27 children. We made houses and gardens, and
28 the tide destroy them. When the tide went out, we climbed over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the sun seemed to shine always
29 and the water was always warm. Sometimes we left beach and walked in the country,
30 ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were sweets in one’s pockets or good places where one could
31 ice creams. Each day seemed a life-time.
32 I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good holiday is much the same as it was. I
33 like the sun and warm sand and the sound of
34 beating (拍打) the rocks. I no longer wish to
35 any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets.
36 , I still love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I
37 what my ideal(理想的) holiday will be like when I am old .
38 I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about
39 who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves
40 on too many ices creams.
