His friend（74）startedthe engine and began to taxi（滑行）onto the runway of the airport．Mr．Johnson had ever heard the most（75）dangerouspart of a flight were taking off and the landing，so he was very afraid and closed his（76）eyes．

11．The Sweetest Sight
I was in the most beautiful city in the world，yet I only wanted home．It was an amazing week for my husband and me-the trip of a lifetime．Months ago，when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London，I expressed my（21）Bto go to Europe together with him．Then we asked his mother to（22）A our two children and started off．
During the week's time，（23）C visited London and Paris-as much as we could，Big Ben，the Louvre and so on．All these were beautiful places we expected to see before．We really enjoyed ourselves．
On our last night in Paris，（24）Awe enjoyed the night view （夜景） of the Eiffel Tower，my husband called home．His mother（25）D the phone．In a second，my husband^face fell and he looked so worried．I could feel something（26）D happened．
"What's wrong？"I asked．
He didn't answer and continued to listen．A few minutes later，he said（27）C to me that Tony，our seven-year-old son，had fallen off his bike and（28）B his leg．He must be sent to hospital at once．
At that moment，Paris suddenly lost its charm （魅力）．
"I don't want to be here!I shouldn't be here!I should be home（29）Bmy kids!"
We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport…
Finally，we got home．We rushed into our children's bedroom．Seeing our two children，I suddenly realized the truth：there is no（30）Csight （风景） in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home．

More recently，most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists．It is one of the （76）biggest events in American history．Even the date-September 11，2001-has （77）meaning to most Americans．
This was a day Peter Hunt will never forget．In May 2001，he （78）found a job in the World Trade Center．On September 11，2001，he arrived at his building at around 8：30a．m．He was about to go up when he decided to get a coffee first．He went to his favorite coffee place even though it was two （79）blocks east from his office．As he was waiting in line with other office （80）workers，he heard a loud sound．Before he could join the other people outside to see what was going on，the first plane had already hit his office building．They stared in （81）disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building．He felt lucky to be alive．
Kate Smith will never forget the date，too．Now she still （82）remembers working in her office near the two towers．"My friend Mike shouted （83）suddenly that a plane just hit the World Trade Center!I didn't believe （84）him at first．But then I looked out of the window and realized that it was （85）true．I was scared and I could hardly think clearly after that．"
September 11，2001-the date alone means something to most people in the US．

Finally he returned home from the（22）C．Every day his mother would press his little legs，but there was no feeling，no control．Yet his determination that he would walk was as（24）Aas ever．
When he wasn't in bed，he would sit in a wheelchair．One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air．This day，instead of sitting there，he（25）Bhimself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass，dragging his（26）Cbehind him．
He worked his way to the white fence（栅栏）around the yard．With great effort，he raised himself up on the fence．Then，he began dragging himself along the fence，（27）Athat he would walk．He started to do this every day．There was nothing he（28）Dmore than to develop life in those legs．
In the end，through his determination he did（29）C．He began to walk to school，then to run to school，to run（30）Bthe joy of running．Later in college he made the running team．
