(A)

The house was quiet at 5 a. m. and Tim’s mother was asleep．Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet．He’d dreamt of the cave last night．The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea．

Tim put on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag．It was too early for breakfast．He’d eat after he’d been through the cave，sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea．

He wished he had a proper pack．His schoolbag would have to do．What else?  Sandwiches—but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches，she’d want to know why he had to leave so early．He settled for some biscuits，and left a note stuck to the table：

Gone to Michael’s．Back tonight．Tim．

The sky was high and soft and light outside，though the sun still wasn’t up．Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street．The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet．

The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun，though the top of the sand was cool．He ran down to the beach impatiently，but there was no one，just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves．

The light changed suddenly．The first rays of sunlight stretched(延伸)across the sea．The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world．

Over the first rocks，along to the point，Tim glanced back．The beach was still empty．The sun sailed higher in the sky．

He could see the cave now，even darker in the morning light．The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it．He had to force himself to go closer．Why was it so much more mysterious (神秘的) now?  But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble．He needn’t go in all the way. . .

Wang Zhongjin said she “runs around faster than a rabbit” every time she leaves home to travel abroad with her husband. Traveling has been a new career for this gray-haired couple after retirement.

Wang, 61, boasts of the fact that, knowing a little English, she and her husband, Zhang Guangzhu, 63, have visited about 40 countries and regions as backpackers since 2008.

“You are awesome” were the words Zhang said to her after she bought food and drinks using only body language while they waited for a ferry in Athens in 2008.

They organize everything for their overseas journeys, including for their trip to the Antarctic in March.

The 11-day journey was full of incredible new experiences. “We can die without any regrets after the Antarctic visit, ” Wang said, “I will always remember penguins waving their wings, seals playing nearby and camping out one night. ”

Wang and her husband had to wait almost three months for a tourist visa for Argentina, which is the launching point for the Antarctic.

For the couple, traveling is the best way to get along in retirement. “How to get along with your partner after retirement is really a challenge for old people like us because you need to face the person almost 24 hours a day. We have learned to appreciate and admire each other for tiny things while traveling abroad. ” Wang said, “Traveling has helped me and my husband fall in love again. ”

“I hope our experiences and stories can encourage more retired people in China to pursue a happy life instead of sacrificing their own happiness for their children, ” said Wang, who had spent six years staying at home to help her married daughter raise her child.

The couple also shares travel tips and their experiences online. Their microblog on Sina. com, China’s version of Twitter, called “huajia beibaoke”and had attracted more than 56, 000 fans by the middle of last month. “The old couple can overcome so many difficulties to enrich their life, but as a young person just over 20, I don’t have the guts and strong will to follow my heart, ” Lin Xiao wrote on the couple’s microblog.
