完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
My father was born in a small town in the US. He wasn't sure what he 21 from life, but something told him to get out and begin a（n） 22 . He took his wife and three daughters with him and went wherever the road took him.
It's easy to feel 23 when you're on the road. As my mother said repeatedly, "We made lots of new friends on our trip ﹣ most of them were mechanics （机修工）", 24 we often spent hours in 25 shops. But that was way 26 than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine （发动机） to 27 when it was 40 ℃ outside.
28 on sometimes seemed impossible. There were always a lot of 29 , especially among us back﹣seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle. But even if it was hard, we did learn a lot about 30.
When we were traveling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one﹣hour drive but was nearly three, 31 bad roads and worse traffic. "Did you put our 32 in the car?" my father asked my mother as we arrived. "No,” she said, slowly turning toward my father. "I thought you did." That was 33 a seven﹣hour car trip turned into a 16﹣hour car trip, which was mostly 34 in silence.
On occasions like that, we had to learn to 35 our anger because we were stuck （困在）in a rolling box with the same people for the 36 of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and 37 one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.
This is why road trips were like 38 universities to us. We earned our degrees in how to get on just by traveling in that old car.
And if we were 39 given a second chance at life, we would do it all over again. Only this time, 40 would put the suitcases in the car.
