　　I was trying to decide what to do when I __4__ the advertisement on a board: Converted (改装过的) ambulance __5__， ￡1,600.So I rang the number in the ad and __6__ to go and see it.It was love at first sight! I made a __7__ straight away.Two days later I was the __8__ owner of a converted camper van (野营车)．

　　At first I was __9__.I wasn't sure whether I could handle it.__10__， gradually I've had feelings that I haven't __11__ before.Living in my van is just the __12__ of waking up in the morning, and, for the first few seconds, not knowing __13__ you are.Then you look out of the window; some strange trees __14__ you, and some beautiful scenery makes your heart beat __15__.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。"我"的车发动机坏了，修理费很昂贵。偶然间"我"看中了一辆由救护车改装的野营车，立即买下了它。在这辆车里，"我"既可以居住，又可以旅游，觉得世界就是家，这种感觉真好。

　　2．A.drive B．relax

　　解析：选D　根据该句中的"somewhere"及上文中的"I lost my flat"可以判断，"我"突然意识到"我"首先需要有个地方居住(live)，故D项正确。

3．A.for B．through
