The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers39。 questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn39。t pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together. Why don39。t you travel with us? one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London. It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel39。s swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined plete strangers, who bee close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I39。ve backpacked alone across South Africa, skydived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the . with no job lined up. On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn39。t picked up the phone.（1）By My stomach was in knots (in paragraph 1), the author most likely means that she was ______.

That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn39。t pletely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the pany. So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and producing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is called clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of singleuse plastic packaging wasted each year. Five years later, I39。m delighted and proud to share with you that our ine has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and we39。ve won more than 20 awards for the work that we39。ve done. And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other firsttime entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)who are my age. I want to connect with them. So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who don39。t bee e
