Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a serious look. “Yes,” he said, “there is a serious injury in the left lung…” I listened, too 21 to speak, as he continued, “You’ll have to 22 work at once and go to bed. Later on, we’ll see.” He gave no definite promise of recovery.
Feeling like a man who has suddenly been placed under 23 of death. In the next three days, I 24 my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, 25 the months. Two and a half years and many crashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long 26 back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so 27 taught me what to believe and what to 28 . They said to me: Take time, 29 time takes you. I realize now that this world I’m living in is not my oyster（牡蛎）to be opened but my opportunity to be 30 . To me, each day is such a 31 gift. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to 32 .
I’ve learned to 33 those little but all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on 34 water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered 35 of childhood. I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was like 36 one’s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost. 37 ,I sit back and say to myself, let me make a 38 of this moment I’m living right now. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the deadlines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness 39 having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn’t wise enough. I’m 40 now, a little, and happier.

查看习题详情和答案>>United States: Air crews searched through Thursday night for missing US adventurer Steve Fossett on a task they compared to looking for a needle in a haystack in the vast Nevada desert. Four days after Fossett’s plane disappeared, authorities dramatically (戏剧般的) increased the search area to 26,000 sq km from on an original 1,600 sq km. But they said it could take two weeks or more to find the 63 – year – old millionaire and aviation record – setter who disappeared on Monday., Thursday’s search turned up on trace of Fossett and no locater signals nor emergency beacons (求救灯) from him or his small single – engine plane, authorities said. Two planes with infra – red (红外线) technology will fly through the night in hopes of finding him, they said.
Major Cynthia Ryan of the Nevada Civil Air Patrol said daytime ground patrols (巡逻队) of the mountains and a search of western Nevada’s Walker Lake have been added, and the air search was extended into California’s mountain border. “Trying to make that needle stand out in a haystack that big is going to be a real challenge and is going to be discouraging for people who were hoping for results early on,” Ryan told a news conference. “Searches of this nature very typically can go on two weeks and longer. So four days into it, we are still scratching the surface,” she said. “We can’t always guarantee the result that everyone would like, but I do guarantee results,” Ryan added.
Fossett’s Citabria Super Decathlon disappeared while he was out searching dry lake beds for a planned attempt to set a land speed record. Nothing has been heard from a fine watch that Fossett is known to wear that is designed to let pilots signal their location in an emergency.
More than 12 planes took off at dawn on Thursday to scour the Nevada desert, whose mountains rise up to 3,000 meters and are buffeted by heavy cross winds. Searchers are using several types of planes, including some with imaging technology that quickly distinguishes man – made objects, including air – craft wreckage, from natural objects.
