查看习题详情和答案>>Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now about lessons learned from that experience.
One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母舰) Kitty Hawk . You were !"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.
"I your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped（倒吸一口气） in surprise and .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"
Plumb assured him, "It did—if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night，thinking about that man. He says, "I wondered how many times I might have passed him the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a ."
Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels（深处）of the ship working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the of someone he didn't know.
Plumb asks his , "Who's packing your ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down—he needed his parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through times.

The Golden Gate Bridge, the first
sight for many people arriving in the United States by ship, is a
well-recognized landmark, which spans(横跨) the Golden Gate Strait.
The idea for a bridge across the strait had been around for many years, but it was not easy to get the project started. The construction of the bridge finally began in 1933. The construction work set new standards for safety----workers were among the first required to wear hard hats, and an innovative（革新的） safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built. The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937, which was finished ahead of schedule.
Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer in charge of the bridge project. However, he had little experience with the construction of suspension（悬浮）bridges. For this reason, other engineers, architects, and designers made great contributions to the design and construction of the bridge. For example, the bridge owes its art style and unique orange color to the architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. Charles Alton Ellis was the main engineer on the project and did much of the technical work necessary to build the bridge.
Today, the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200 feet and a total length of 8,981 feet, making it one of the longest bridges in the world. The bridge is 90 feet wide, and its span is 220 feet above the water. The towers supporting the huge cables (巨缆) rise 746 feet above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait, making them 191 feet taller than the Washington Monument. About 40 million cars cross the bridge every year. There are foghorns（雾角）to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and aircraft beacons（信号灯）on the tops of the towers to stop planes from crashing into them.
