The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. Iturned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the WorldTrade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another planefly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched familymembers looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. Icouldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good didcome from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, Iam more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself getworried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things changethey’re living and thein the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One momentnext minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it.
