I’m an operating engineer, running crane(起重机) in New York City. I was in the countryside, playing golf when we got the call that a plane had       the World Trade Centre. We checked out of the hotel immediately and started       our way downtown. When I got home, I called the rescue center and they told me to come       and get on the       list.
The next morning I went down to the       at about 5 A. M., and four hours later I       the call to come down to West Street. I called my wife and told her not to       me, and that I would stay in       with her. I took the subway. It stopped at West Fourth Street, so I had to       the rest of the way.
And somewhere in there I became       when I went into something I       . I once worked there in 1966 for the       of the World Trade Centre. On halfway on September 12, I was frightened to see the World Trade Centre was a huge pile, maybe ten       tall. And it was burning. I started to ask       in which my crane might be       a whistle blew suddenly warning us of some danger. I saw people running away and I really didn’t know what to do. So I did the same, too. It was as if they had       the bulls go in Spain and we were running through the street. People falling down, people       them up as they came by, and carrying them, just to get them out of the way, because something was extremely       . I didn’t even look back. We stopped running when we got to the Battery Tunnel, and I caught my       and said, “Oh, my God, I’m going to die.”
Then I    a little bit, thinking about what we should do next. As we started again we knocked into a fire chief officer and we asked, “What can we do to help you?”

Even after several weeks, every time I read this little story I start to cry:
My sister-in-law teaches physically and mentally handicapped children at a private school in Brooklyn. She recently   21  a Special Olympics and went to the starting line of the 100-metre dash with six   22   contestants.
As the starting whistle sounded, a boy tripped, fell and began to cry. All the other   23 stopped, turned and went back to help. Then they all   24  hands and went on to the finish line together. Needless to say, everyone in the stands   25 .
Why am I so moved? There are tears of joy   26  with tears of sadness. Tears of joy, just for the   27  friendship, selflessness and love embodied (体现) by these children. Tears of sadness, just for how   28  from such behavior we adults have wandered. Wouldn’t it be nice if, at least once in a while, we could pause in our race for money and power; turn around to see the   29   of those we have left behind; go back and   30  these less able ones to their feet; and then walk forward together with them, arm in arm.

A sudden large increase in interest in reading among children is preventing them from suffering accidents, British researchers say.
The 21 looked at the number of children attending casualty John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford on weekends of Saturday, 21 June, 2003 and Saturday, 16 July this year – the   22   dates of the two most recent Harry Potter books, The Order of the Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince.
They found that only 36 and 37 kids respectively needed treatment   23  with an average of 67 children on "normal" weekends.
The doctors said while   24   did keep children away from dangerous games, it could lead to a    25   in obesity.
The authors of the study suggested that   26  more book reading might be a   27  way to combat childhood accidents.
"It may be hypothesized (假设）that there is a place for a committee of safety conscious, and talented writers who could produce high quality books for the   28  of injury prevention," they wrote in the British Medical Journal.
However they acknowledged there could be a downside to a strategy that seeks to turn
29 children into bookworms.
30  problems could include "an unpredictable increase in childhood obesity, ( 肥胖症 )，rickets （软骨病）and loss of cardiovascular fitness ( 心血管病 ).

Unfortunately，though he had great ability，his teachers were   23 unskilled，so that by the time he was ready to start his concert tour he wasn't prepared. In Italy a Milan newspaper critic(批评家)wrote：“He is a(n)   24   musician．If he is a diamond，he is certainly in the rough and unpolished．”There were two ways Ole Bull could have    25   to that criticism．He could have let it make him angry，or he could learn from it．Fortunately he chose the   26 ．He went to the newspaper office and asked to see the critic．The   27   editor introduced him. Ole spent the evening with the 70 year old critic，asked about his faults，and sought the old man's
28   on how to correct them．Then he cancelled the rest of his tour，returned home，and   29   the next six months studying under really able teachers. He practiced hour after hour to overcome his   30 ．Finally，he returned to his concerts and，when only 26, became the wonder of Europe．
