We made houses and gardens, and 40 the tide destroy them. When the tide went out, we 41 over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the 42 seemed to shine always brightly 43 the water was always warm. Sometimes we 44 beach and walked in the country, exploring(搜寻) ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were 45 in one’s pockets or good places where one could 46 ice creams. Each day seemed a life-time.
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good 47 is much the same as it was. I 48 like the sun and warm sand and the sound of 49 beating the rocks.

网友回答
(答案→)B
解析：
【小题1】B作者回忆儿时假日，根据常识可判断为其父母亲（parents）带他远游。
【小题1】A从后文提到的词语beach（海滨），sand（沙滩）等可知作者在海边(by the sea)。
【小题1】A play with sb.，与某人玩耍。
【小题1】B 去海边度假，孩子们感到激动，故答案为B。moving令人感动的；anxious，焦急的；nervous,紧张的，均不合题意。
【小题1】C watch sb / sth do, 看着某人 / 某物做某事。
【小题1】D从后面的look down at判断，此处应该用climbed。
【小题1】B 由于在海边玩耍，心情好，所以太阳也特别明亮。
【小题1】A 前后两句为并列关系，所以用and。
【小题1】A前文说“在海边玩耍”，后文说“乡村探寻、购物”，因此，该空应该用left表示离开海滨。
【小题1】A 下一段说I dislike sweets，故选A。
【小题1】C make、sell和offer都不可能是孩子们的所为，故用buy表示“买冰淇淋”。
【小题1】B 上文叙述儿时度假的快乐时光，成年后他对于假期的想法依然如故。
【小题1】C与上句照应，多年来，我“仍然”喜欢……。
【小题1】A tides指“潮汐”，而文中指“海浪”（waves）拍打岩石的声音。
【小题1】D build sand house（建沙房子）与文章开头make sand house同义。
【小题1】B 空格后有逗号，所以用however。
【小题1】A wonder想知道；feel感到；understand明白；believe相信。从句意看应该用wonder。
【小题1】D作者回忆了儿童时代快乐的假期，但是不知道老年以后理想中的假期是什么模样。
【小题1】A children包括boys和girls，只有孩子们才迷恋于沙子堆成的小房子，所以此处用children。
【小题1】D sick生病。由于吃了太多的冰淇淋，病了。
