One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is , you can take
something positive out of it . The one time I wasn?t sure of that was on September 11.
I usually wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning . That day , I happened to wake up earlier . I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center . My first reaction was that it was a terrible accident . Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing an act of terrorism.
My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over and over again . When I watched family members looking for their loved ones , the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget . I couldn?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 did come from this tragedy . People seem different now , more understanding , more tolerant . Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things . Personally , I am more tolerant than I was . I realize life is too short , and too precious , to let myself get worried over small things . I?ve learned also that you can?t take things for granted . Things change in the blink of an eye . People go to work and don?t come back . One moment they?re living and the next minute they?re not . And , it doesn?t matter who you are , there is nothing you can do about it . We never know when our time here will be over , so we all need to make the most of every minute we have .
You try to learn from what happened . You can?t be used up by it . You can?t live by it . All you can do is just live .
注：crash 撞击 reaction 反应 witness 目击 tragedy 悲剧 tolerant 宽容的 precious 珍贵的 take … for granted 认为……是当然的

55. What?s the best title （题目）of this passage ?

For a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. ―Come on!‖ My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. ―You’ll feel great.‖
Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical
Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jog
