第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） About six months ago, I was working in a job where I sat at a computer in an office for 50 or so hours each week. My best friend, Dusty, also sat in an office at a computer all day. We often talked about what a waste it emed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty. Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day. Last week, Dusty came to my home and declared, “I’m going to travel.”
Of cour, traveling is exciting. It’s getting to experience new things, getting to be a slightly different version of ourlves, but I think the point is more about the mindt(心态) that it allows for than the actual reality that comes with it. Waking up every day with a n of excitement for the unknown. Approaching each interaction during the day with a n of wonder. Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and just about whatever’s right in front you.
However, the thing is, we don’t need to be in transit to be able to approach our days this way. It is possible for me to be living my normal life and be excited for the unknown of the day. I meet new people and do new things every day. Yes, they might be in Santa Monica, a few blocks from my apartment, but what’s the difference between a new person here and new person in Australia?
