I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once
1 and did not know the
2 very well. I was on the
3 after I had made some enquires.
At Ashville, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut. The short cut was to
4 several hills and was dangerous. I hesitated for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be
5 .
Something strange happened after I drove a long
6 and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to
7 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the
8 that I had made the
9 mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it
10 , I decided to go on. “If
11 people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I
12 myself.
The short cut, to my surprise, was not that
13 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road,
14 up and down two low
15 . There was
16 traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and
17 with cows and horses. My fear was
18 with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声), I drove on and
19 the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me
20 . It was just in this light-heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.
