44、y, 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.

46、 after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy(悲劇). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant（寬容的）.
