A
I’d meant to go to Miros that day. I’d packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat__36__ in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn’t too strong for the two-hour __37__. I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost __38__ of her, an old light-house partly blocked my view of the harbour. A dozen passengers were __39__ their way there. I was about to join them---when a man’s face __40__ at the light-house window.
This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and __41__ for thirty years. It was stranger still---because I’d seen that __42__ before. I couldn’t place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and __43__ across.
“I know we’ve met before, but I can’t remember where.”
I __44__ him to open his if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass __45__ motionless（静止）.Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards, __46__ the clouds. How well I’d known that face, sometime, somewhere!
I __47__ again. “We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”
He didn’t reply nor give any __48__ that he’d heard. I went back further, to __49__ I was in the navy.” Perhaps we met at sea during the war,” and that thought at once __50__ him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I’d saved his life once. But surely he…
The motor-boat __51__ her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling. __52__. Laughing, I called, “Now I’ve missed her, and it’s your __53__, Commander!’
As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded. __54__ minute it was there, looking up. I could see the whites of the eyes. The __55__ it was gone.
Well, I didn’t rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or ’64. But there’s one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know 36
You think you are a 37 person or a coward(懦夫). But you’ll never really know the answer to that question 38 you are tested in real life. Some people 39 they are brave, but when they come face to face with real 40 ,they act like cowards. Other people think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like 41 .
Lenny Skutnic had always thought of himself as a 42 person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. 43 ,on 15th January 1982, a plane crashed into the Potamac River in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. Then he saw a woman in the 44 water. Lenny did not feel afraid . He kept very 45 and did a very courageous thing. He jumped into the Potamac, 46 to the woman , and kept her head 47 the water . Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny Skutnic, it was not 48 .

This chemical is called adrenalin(肾上腺素). 50 adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 51 to fight or run away. However, when you’re absolutely(完全) terrified, the body can produce too
much adrenalin. When this 52 ,the muscles become very hard and you find you 53
move at all. You are then paralysed(瘫痪) with fear. That is 54 when you’re very frightened, we sometimes say we’re “petrified”. This word comes from the Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are 55 frightened we have become like stone.

One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel. Life seemed(36). The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their(37) for granted, just as he(38) himself. Now, however, he felt(39)- and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his(40).
Seeking more personally satisfying(41), he had just left a successful career as a commercial(商业的) artist when it seemed that fate played a cruel(42) on him.
