1- We’ve been hitAdam Mayblum 过去很享受看着暴风雨抽打他办公室窗户的场景：你认为这就是权力吗？Mayblum 可能会讥笑。

我在世界贸易中心的87楼。

这就是权力。

百叶窗上的拉绳看起来像在轻轻地摇晃，但它只是一种假象。

虽然它是在距离地面1,040 英尺的高空中，但是世贸中心还是相当稳固的。

在9 月的那个早上，当Mayblum感觉到毁灭性的隆隆声时，他瞥了一眼拉绳。

他们被疯狂坠入 3 英尺的任一方向。

那天早上，有数千人将被卷入一场惊心动魄的灾难，Mayblum也是其中的一员。

尽管多达25,000人找到了他们安全逃生的方式，但另外的5,000 人却没有逃脱得了这场灾难。

对于有些人来说，生死攸关的是此时此刻他们所在的地理位置---不仅是哪幢楼，哪一层，更重要的是在大楼的哪个角落。

对于有些人来说，选择使用哪一个楼梯是最基本的。

其他人所面对的则是终极的道德困境：拯救自己，还是拯救他人。

在名为戴维斯的金融服务公司里，Adam Mayblum 办公室内的混乱持续了几秒钟。

他知道他需要逃离那里。

他把T恤撕成碎片，浸泡在水中，并分发给同事，用来捂住他们的脸。

其中：有一个是戴维斯的首席交易员---哈里·拉莫斯。

Mayblum 曾与拉莫斯断断续续一起工作了14 年之久。

当他在楼梯上急速奔跑时，火花溅在了他的脚踝上。

当他冲下一段楼梯之后，他才意识到他的贸易伙伴，朱红还落在后面。

他又跑上楼，此时这个地方充满了烟和燃烧的喷气燃料。

看不到朱红的影子。

Mayblum又冲下楼梯，成功到达了78 楼，这里恰好是有一部电梯和一个楼梯的中转大厅。

他看到了一个令人放心的景象，拉莫斯已经淌进混乱的场面中，协助恐慌的工人转到安全的楼梯间。

Mayblum继续往下跑，他小腿的肌肉因抽筋而收缩。

在53层。

他碰见了一个身材粗壮的男人，他的腿无法移动了。

“你想自己过来，还是你想要我们来帮助你？”Mayblum大声喊道。

Rainforests are the world’s most biologically diverse ecosystems.A lthough they cover less than 10 percent of the Earth’s surface, tropical rainforests provide habitat for 50 to 90 percent of the world’s plant and animal species. Tropical rain- forests are called the “jewel of the Earth,” the “Earth’s lungs,” and the “world’s largest pharmacy” because of the large amount of natural medicines discovered there.The largest tropical rainforests exist in South America’s Amazon basin (the Amazon Rainforest), in the equatorial portions of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in much of Indonesia. Temperate rainforests, dominated by only a few species of trees,are found along the Pacific coast of North America from Alaska through Washington state, in the former Yugoslavia, and in parts of Japan.3) Italian Spanish navigator who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, in an attempt to find a shorter route to India. He made a total of four trips to the Caribbean and South America during the years 1492-1504. He achieved fame by making landfall in the Americas, which he later called the “New World.” The arrival of his ships in the Western Hemisphere was one of the pivotal events in world history. It opened up a new world for Europeans and initiated the spread of Western civilization to a new hemisphere.2.
