完形填空。      When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful.  My    1    took me by train or by
car to a hotel by the     2   . All day, I seem to remember,  I     3   on the sands with strange    4   children. We made houses and gardens, and   5      the tide destroy  them. When the tide went out, we    6   over
the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rockpools.
      In those days the    7   seemed to shine always brightly     8   the water was always warm.  Sometimes we left beach and walked in the country,    9   ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There
were   10  in one"s pockets or good places where one could     11    ice-creams.  Each day seemed a lifetime.
     Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good    12   is much the same as it was, I    13  like the sun and warm sand and the sound of    14   beating the rocks.  I no longer wish to   15  any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets.    16   , I love the sea and often feel sand running
through my fingers.
      Sometimes I     17    what my ideal (理想中的) holiday will be like when I am    18   . All I want to
do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about     19   who make houses and gardens with
sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves   20  on too many ice-creams.... (     )1. A. teacher
