一、完形填空
(2025泰州姜堰期末)Last summer holiday, my family paid a visit to Chongqing. As soon as we arrived there, we rented(租) a car and went to our 1 which we booked online. I had a map, 2 I thought I'd be in a great condition. After driving for about 20 minutes, I found myself 3 in the unmarked(没有标记的) streets and roads. Sadly, I had to ask Siri for help. Siri was a virtual(虚拟的) assistant in my phone. I typed the 4 of our hotel in my phone and soon Siri found out the best route to get there and we were on our way.
The only 5 was that things didn't always go the way I thought. Because the streets were not well 6, I missed a turn and headed in the 7 direction. But Siri 8 got angry with me. Any time I missed a turn, Siri would simply cut in and say, "Recalculate(重新计算) route. 9 route." And in a few 10, Siri would have a new route planned to get us to our destination(目的地). Finally, we made it to our hotel 11.
Most people think you will 12 if you set a clear goal and then manage to go straight towards it. The 13 is that there is no straight path to success. There isn't even the 14 path. In fact, there are many paths to help you to get to your goals if you are just 15 to recalculate your route.
