完形填空
Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was
36 by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was
37 and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now
38 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
39 jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母艦) Kitty Hawk . You were
40 !"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.
"I
41 your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped(倒吸一口氣) in surprise and
42 .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"
Plumb assured him, "It
43 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
44 the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything
45 , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a
46 ."
Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels(深處)of the ship
47 working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the
48 of someone he didn't know.
Plumb asks his
49 , "Who's packing your
50 ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it
51 the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down-he needed his
52 parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these
53 before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to
54 and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through
55 times.
