As the minister looked 3 the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers became 4 . Later, a voice over the intercom( 内部通话系统 ) said “We are so sorry that we are unable to 5 the meal at this time. The currents are ahead of us.” And then the storm broke. Lightning lit up the darkening skies, and 6 moments the great plane was tossed( 使动来动去 ) around. The minister recalled, “As I looked around the plane, I could see the nearly all the 7 were scared.

Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again. Sometimes she straightened her legs, but worry and 10 were not in her world.” The minister could 11 believe his eyes.
