There he was, my 80yearold grandfather with his silvery hair. And there I was, a teenage girl in my jeans and Tshirt. His aged but still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene as I wondered how I was going to get through the next two days. Why did I ever agree to acpany my cranky grandpa on a train ride from New York to Georgia? No one else wanted to be the fellow traveler since my grandfather refused to fly. In contrast, I loved to fly since I wanted to get to the destination as quickly as possible. No matter what anyone told my grandfather about the fort and safety of flying, he refused to book a flight, saying, It39。s not just the trip。 it39。s the adventure of getting there. With my first step onto the train, the journey was already different from what I expected. The train was modem and filled with friendly travelers. We settled into the club car, where we could enjoy food and drinks while watching the scenery pass. Instead of listening to my music, I became a willing audience and learned family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn. With teary eyes, he told me that going to family events was hard for him since my grandmother died. It always made him think about those who were no longer with us. For the first time I felt I understood him. I gained a new appreciation for our time together. In this fastpaced world, we often miss important moments. There is great significance in listening to elders who offer a piece of their history and experience. I may be more open to opportunities to stay with my grandpa. Life isn39。t just about the destination。 it39。s about the journey.（1）What does the underlined word cranky in paragraph 1 mean?

One January, I had to hold two funerals for two elderly women in my munity. Both had died full of years, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the deceased(過世的)woman said to me, If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It39。s my fault that she died. At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, If only I hadn39。t insisted on my mother39。s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It39。s my fault that she39。s dead. You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby es to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone es to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people chang
