2 Complete the text (1—7) with the phrases (a—h) after it. There is one phrase you don’t have to use.
The Station
I can still see those events clearly in my mind’s eye. We are travelling by train — out of the window we drink in the passing scenes of (1) children waving to us, sheep on a distant hillside, fields of corn and wheat, flatlands and valleys, mountains and cities.
But what we are thinking about is the final destination. On a certain day we will arrive at the station. An orchestra will be playing and flags waving (2) once we get there, our dreams will come true. So we are waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. “When I’m 18. ” “When I buy a car. ” “When I leave college. ” “When I get a job, (3) I shall live happily ever after!”
Sooner or later, we begin to understand there is no station, (4) no one place to arrive. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. “Enjoy the moment” is a good idea. It isn’t the hardships of today that make us mad. It is the feeling of sadness about what happened yesterday (5) and the fear of tomorrow. Sadness and fear do not allow us to enjoy today.
So stop counting the miles and (6) waiting for the station. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, walk on the grass, swim rivers, (7) watch sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
a) no one place to arrive;
b) feeling happy and careless;
c) once we get there;
d) children waving to us;
e) watch sunsets;
f) waiting for the station;
g) and the fear of tomorrow;
h) I shall live happily ever after.
