Organizing for a smooth journey takes a lot of planning．Just a bit of foresight will help you truly 　11　 and enjoy what holidays have to offer．

Before you travel, you need to first　 12 your needs．Sit down together with the people with whom you will be traveling．What are the needs this trip 　13 ? Rest, cultural discoveries, work, or sports? Then, set a（n）　 14 for yourself．Vacations that far exceed （超出） the money available will give you stress, which is 15　 to what you're looking for． 　16　 think over all those important　 17　 you need, and begin early the　 18 needed to obtain them before leaving．Whether it is your passport, an international driving license, traveler's checks, or train tickets, all these need time to be 　19 　for．

During the journey, enjoy yourself! There are so many people who　 20　 all that they've left back home．What can you do anyway, sitting on your island paradise ? You can solve problems, if any, when you　 21 ．Learn to awaken your 　22 ．Listen to new songs of birds．Touch the　 23　 and warm sand．Watch a sunset splitting itself into all kinds of colors．Delight in the good 　24　 of the food on your plate． 25　 every second available to you and consider yourself blessed to be there at that time．

If you were 　 26　 abroad, when you come back, visit your doctor without delay．Above all, don't　 27　 the end of the holiday．That'll cause you to lose whatever good you got out of it．28 you were lucky to have had one, and continue to live a better life．29 is stopping you from choosing to continue life a little slower, a little 30 ．a(chǎn)nd much happier!

For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She held our hands and said, “Victor and Elizabeth, my children, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her dearly. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university. I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met my teacher, Professor Waldman, who was one of the greatest scientists in the world. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can. This is why God made you intelligent—to help other people.”
After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.
I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor helped me very much, and other important scientists who were his friends helped me, too. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years, I did not go home, and my letters to my family were very short.
After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast about 150 meters high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.
