完形填空
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 1 before setting down.High desert winds had 2 the airport to close all but one runway.He said that we would be 3 L the city for a few minutes waiting to 4 We were also told to remain in our seats meanwhile with our seat belts fastened 5 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) 6 by comparison
The movement was so fierce that several passengers felt 7 and had to use airsickness bags.As you might guess, that's not good thing to have happen in a(n) 8 space because it only 9 to increase the discomfort of the situation.
About twenty minutes into the adventure, the entire airplane became very 10 .
There was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be 11 noticed.Every passenger simply held on for dear life…except one.A 12 was having a good time!With each bump of the 13 !he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑)of delight As I observed this, I 14 that he didn't know he was supposed to be afraid and worried about his 15 He neither thought about the past nor about the future Those are what we grown-ups have learned from 16 .He was 17 the ride because had not yet been taught to fear it.Having understood this, I took a deep breath and 18 back into my seat, pretending I was 19 on a roller coaster.I smiled for the rest of the flight.I even 20 to giggle once or twice, much to the chagrin(随恼)of the man sitting next to me holding the airsickness bag.
