Many people tend to bring electronic products when travelling, including me. Last year I just ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience: the iPad.
Instead of looking at nature, I 1 my e-mail. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading 2 newspapers each morning. And that was the problem: I was acting 3 I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my 4 wasn't.
So this year I made up my mind to try something 5: getting away from the Internet. I knew it wouldn't be easy, 6 I'm not good at self-control. But I was 7. I started by 8 the iPad to my wife. Then, a stroke of luck: The mobile phone 9 at our cabin was worse than in the past. I was trapped in a small circle and 10 to carry out my plan. Largely 11 from e-mail and my favorite newspaper websites, I had little way to 12 the world. I had no 13 but to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.
With determination and the strong support of my wife, I succeeded in my vacation struggle 14 the Internet. I finally 15 that it was me, of course, not the iPad, that was the 16.
I knew I had 17 when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. "Don't need it," I said. 18, as we return to work, a test begins: Can I 19 when I'm back at work? I had no intention of 20 my iPad completely. But I hope to resist the temptation(抵抗诱惑) to use it every five minutes.
