Question

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 _______. All day, I seem to remember, I _______ on the sands with strange _______ children. We made houses and gardens, and _______ the tide(潮汐) destroy them. When the tide went out, we _______ over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.

In those days the sun seemed to shine always brightly and the water was always warm. Sometimes we _______ beach and walked in the country, exploring(搜寻) broken houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were _______ in one’s pockets or good places where one could _______ ice creams. Each day seemed a life-time.

Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good _______ is much the same as it was. I ________ like the sun and warm sand and the sound of waves beating the rocks. I no longer wish to ________ any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets. __________, I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.

Sometimes I wonder what my ideal(理想的) holiday will be like when I am ________. All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about ________ who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves __________ on too many ice creams.
