Lisa Reid lost her sight(视力) because of cancer ten years ago, but a knock on the head has given it back. The 24-year-old lady has    36   part of her sight after being knocked on the head. Eleven days ago, Miss Reid    37   down to kiss her guide dog good night, but accidentally(意外地) hit her head on a coffee table.    38   she woke up the next morning, she could see for the first time in 10 years.

“I could    39   believe it. It’s amazing,” she said. The cancer that stole Miss Reid’s sight was diagnosed(诊断) 13 years ago. Doctors gave her a five percent    40   of survival after discovering she had brain cancer. An operation(手术) to excide the tumor(切除肿瘤) was    41  , but it damaged her eyes and had a bad effect    42   her sight.

Miss Reid was blind at 14, and her eyes were only able to notice    43   and dark.. “I had lost hope and thought that everything was against me,” she said.

Now Miss Reid has recovered 80 percent of the sight in her left eye, but her color vision(色觉) is    44  . The eye expert has no    45   for her recovery because he has never seen a similar case(病例).

After Miss Reid recovered her sight on November 17, she    46   it a secret at the beginning, but later in the day she called her    47   and over the telephone read the health warning on a cigarette package(盒) to her mum. “Lisa    48   me and said‘there’s been a change; listen to this’,” said Louise Reid, Miss Reid’s mother. “Then she started reading to me. I was surprised.” Unsure whether her sight would last(持续), Miss Reid waited    49   the next day before    49   her walking stick and spreading the good news. She couldn’t wait to celebrate it with her family and friends.

I woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied.

However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels(细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match the red shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.

On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients(客户) that morning.

Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial(商业的) project. However, when I was going to present(介绍) it to the clients, I found that I left the plan I had made the night before at home. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft(草稿) of it in my office.

At last, the presentation came to an end and it proved to be a success. But I had to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents.
