Recently，I flew to Las Vegas to attend a meeting. As we were about to arrive，the pilot announced with apology that there would be a slight             before setting down. High desert winds had       the airport to close all but one runway. He said that we would be        the city for a few minutes waiting to      . We were also told to remain in our seats meanwhile（同时） with our seat belts fastened      there might be a few bumps(颠簸)．Well，that few minutes turned into about four—five minutes，including a ride that would make a roller coaster(过山车)     by comparison（比较起来）.

The movement was so fierce(猛烈的) that several passengers felt      and had to use airsickness（晕机） bags. As you might guess，that’s not good thing to have happen in a(n)      space because it only      to increase the discomfort of the situation.

  About twenty minutes into the adventure，the entire airplane became very   .

There was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be     noticed．Every passenger simply held on for dear life …except one. A     was having a good time! With each bump of the__ ___he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑)of delight. As I observed this，I        that he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried about his      .He neither thought about the past nor about the future .Those are what we grown—ups have learned from      .He was     the ride  because had not yet been taught to fear it. Having understood this，I took a deep breath and          back into my seat，pretending（假装） I was       on a roller coaster. I smiled for the rest of the flight. I even       to giggle once or twice ,much to the chagrin(懊恼)of the man sitting next to me holding the airsickness bag.

One very cold and rainy night in the winter of 2012, my husband and I were in a fast food restaurant. We were about to begin our meal     a man walked in. He was completely       from the rain and went into the men's room.

I watched him go by, then I said to my husband, "That man must have had nothing to eat in a long time." When the man came out of the men's room, he just        himself in a chair, not going anywhere near the food counter. I       that he didn't have any money for food and        wanted to dry off for a while.

I just couldn't eat my food knowing that someone else was sitting      only a few tables away. So, I      a $20.00 bill from my shopping money to my husband. "Please get him dinner," I said. "We can do with less money this week."

    My husband      the man and quietly asked if he needed some food. The man      at us. "A small cup of coffee would be great," he said. "Thank you so much!" He        wasn't going to take advantage of us, but we       that he should have a full meal, which he gratefully(感激地)        .
