I’m an operating engineer, running crane in New York City. I was in the countryside, playing golf when we got the call that a plane had   36   the World Trade Centre. We checked out of the hotel immediately and started   37   our way downtown. When I got home, I called the rescue center and they told me to come   38   and get on the   39   list.

The next morning I went down to the   40   at about 5 A. M., and four hours later I   41   the call to come down to West Street. I called my wife and told her not to   42   me, and that I would stay in   43   with her. I took the subway. It stopped at West Fourth Street, so I had to   44   the rest of the way.

And somewhere in there I became   45   that I was going into something I   46  . I once worked there in 1966 for the   47   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   48   tall. And it was burning. I started to ask   49   in which my crane might be   50   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   51   the bulls go in Spain and we were running through the street. People falling down, people   52   them up as they came by, and carrying them, just to get them out of the way, because something was extremely   53  . I didn’t even look back. We stopped running when we got to the Battery Tunnel, and I caught my   54   and said, “Oh, my God, I’m going to   55  .”

Then I settled down 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?”

【小题2】我们结账离开宾馆，然后向市中心驶去。make one’s way to sp.走向或驶向某地。

【小题3】他们让我决定定宣布参加志愿者。come down决定并宣布。

【小题4】因为是要去进行营救，所以是志愿者名单，而不是士兵，警察或消防队员名单。全文第一句话就告诉我们作者是an operating engineer。

【小题5】我去了世贸中心，指世贸大厦倒塌的地方。

【小题6】再这里不是指自己打电话，而是指接到电话领任务去哪里服务。

【小题7】我告诉妻子不要expect me在这里是指不要和我联系，因为后文提到我会和她保持联系的。
