? ? ? so then I chose another professin*n.職業(yè)*,and learned to pilot airplanes*開飛機(jī)*.I have flown a little over all parts of the world;and it is true that geography has been very useful to me.At the glance I can distinguish*v.區(qū)別；辨別* China from Arizona.

In the course*n.過程* of this life I have had a great many encounters*n.遭遇；邂逅* wiht a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence*n.重要性*.I have lived a great deal among grown-ups.
