I took up skydiving in my twenties. At the time the accident happened, I'd done just 30 jumps. The airfield was quiet when I 　 36　 . On board were Chris, who was taking a tourist, and Ants, the cameraman. Chris indicated I should exit first and the other three would 　 37　 . Later I knew it was this 　 38　 that saved my life.

At 12,000 feet Chris rolled up the door and nodded that it was time for my exit. I put my foot on a step just beside the door, and in an instand the propeller blast (螺旋桨气流) threw me against the side of the plane, half in, half out. I pushed and got my other leg out of the door, but in doing so I found myself 　 39　 down the body of the plane towards the tail. My parachute (降落伞) got caught and my 　 40　 and legs were pushed backwards, powerless, in the strong wind.

I was strangely 　 41　．To a skydiver, being at 12,000 feet is a good thing．Altitude is your friend；being close to the ground is deadly and will kill you．

Ants appeared and moved slowly towards me, his legs held by Chris in the door．Ants reached out and got hold of my foot．With the weight partly off, I found myself falling away from the plane, 　 42　 freed．I waved and smiled to indicate I was fine．

It was actually very 　 43　．If any one of a number of factors had been different, I would have 　 44　．I could have hit the plane with my head．If I had been the last to exit, the pilot alone would have been unable to free me, and even if he had been aware that I was 　 45　 underneath the plane, he would still have had to land at some point．

Blue Skies, Black Death is the skydivers' mantra （咒语）．On the one hand, there's the freedom and 　 46　 of the open sky．But in order to 　 47　 this joy, you must accept that there is usually only one result if something goes wrong．

　　Remember when a trip to the supermarket was nothing more than a boring thing requiring little or no specialized knowledge? You could send your kids into a cart while you did shopping．You always bought the same brands, usually the brands your mother bought．You didn't know about unit pricing, and furthermore, you didn't care．It never occurred to you to read the labels on anything．After all, you' d bought these things a hundred times．

　　But now, I really look on those days with a feeling of yearn(怀旧)．How innocent we were! How carefree were those trips to the supermarket．No worries．Today a trip to the supermarket is filled with social influence．Every time I buy pork chops I think about the years I' m shaving from my life．I keep a careful eye on the freshness date and examine the tamper-proof packaging．I am victim of that most dangerous social disease：shoppers' panic．

　　I didn't realize how serious my condition had become until the last time I needed laundry soap．It seemed simple enough．Just run into the market, grab a box of the old reliable and pay for it．I hadn't planned on discovering Ecover, a new brand of laundry soap．It sat quietly on the shelf right next to my old reliable．“Healthy, gentle but effective．”My respect for it deepened with each new claim as I read the entire package．Then I looked at the price：＄5.69 for2 pound．＄5.69!I cast a quick glance at the old reliable, still on sale for ＄1.39

　　Six bucks for laundry soap! These people must be crazy! Who's going to pay six bucks for laundry soap? It's not as though I can't afford it．See, it's concentrated-use less, get more．BUT SIX BUCKS! And the box is made from recycled materials…This act went on for a solid half hour, after which I left the shelf without any soap at all．

　　Surely the meat department is a most threatening place．Remember what protein was good for you? That's all over．Every bite you take kills you．I won' t even mention meat' s moral influence．

　　When all is said and done, we still must eat．I gather up my healthy-cooking oil and my recycled paper towels and head to the checkout counter．

　　I'm interested in the furnished cottage near Dedham which you made known in yesterday's newspaper, for my husband and I are coming to England in June and will stay at the cottage for three months. Would you please tell me exactly where it is and give me some information about bus and train service in the area? We need a cottage on a busy street. And I would also like to know about the shops there. Do the shops still supply? I know they did ten years ago.

　　I would also be thankful if you would tell me whether you supply sheets, etc, and whether a laundry (洗衣店) calls at the house. The rent you ask sounds reasonable for the size of the cottage. How do you like it paid? Weekly, monthly or in advance?

I would be thankful for an early reply.
