Recently I flew to Las Vegas to attend a meeting. As we were about to arrive the pilot announced with apology that there would be a slight 1 before setting down. High desert winds had 2 the airport to close all but one runway. He said that we would be 3 the city for a few minutes waiting to 4 . We were also told to remain in our seats meanwhile with our seat belts fastened 5 there might be a few bumps(颠簸). Well that few minutes turned into about four-five minutes including a ride that would make a roller coaster(过山车) 6 by comparison. The movement was so fierce that several passengers felt 7 and had to use airsickness bags. As you might guess that’s not a good thing to have happen in a(n) 8 space because it only 9 to increase the discomfort of the situation.
About twenty minutes into the adventure the entire airplane became very 10 . There was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be 11 noticed. Every passenger simply held on for dear life …except one. A 12 was having a good time! With each bump of the 13 he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑)of delight. As I observed this I 14 that he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried about his 15 . He neither thought about the past nor about the future. Those are what we grown-ups have learned from 16 . He was 17 the ride because had not yet been taught to fear it. Having understood this I took a deep breath and 18 back into my seat pretending I was 19 on a roller coaster. I smiled for the rest of the flight. I even 20 to giggle once or twice much to the chagrin(懊恼)of the man sitting next to me holding the airsickness bag.
