Question

Katy Marsh is seventy years old now. She stopped working five years ago. Last year she decided to make her dream come true.

When she was young, she hoped to travel along a river of Scotland(蘇格蘭) in a small boat. She took her small CD player, her hot water bottle and a bag of books to make her life in the boat wasn't too uncomfortable. We asked her if she was afraid of(害怕) being on the river for so long. She said, "Well, I'm going to take a good compass. When I'm losing my way during my trip, it can help me a lot. Anyway I'm not afraid of death(死亡) because I love rivers－I just hope it loves me too. " Katy certainly had lots of energy (精力). In her free time, she enjoyed playing the piano, swimming, hiking, and dancing. She had a wonderful trip in the small boat last year.

She is seventy, but she doesn't want to have a quiet and peaceful life. She hopes to have fun in the rest(剩余部分) of her life.
