I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once1and did not know the2very well. I was on the3after 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 to4several hills and was erous. I hesitated for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be5.
Something strange happened after I drove a long6and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to7, but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the8that I had made 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 it10 , I decided to go on. “If11people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I12myself.
The short cut, to my surprise, was not that13 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road,14up and down two low15 . There was16traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and17with cows and horses. My fear was18with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声), I drove on and19the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me20 . 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.
