Up in the Air-19

Hit 10 million miles
  • Hey, this is your stop(你的地方).

  • When am I gonna see you?

  • You’re just gonna have to come visit.

  • So settled. You’re not gonna change on me(变心), are you, right?

  • No. Same guy. Just one address.

  • This is your final boarding call(登机) for American Airlines flight number 3972 to Chicago.

  • All right. Call me when you get lonely.

  • Some guy sits down in a conference room somewhere and our server routes(传送) his session to one of our termination engineers.

  • I preferred “terminators,” but it bumped with(冲突) Legal.

  • Can’t imagine why. (无法想象)

  • Well, beta testing, role-playing. We go live(上线) at the end of the month.

  • Kyle, you’re running through(浏览) the events too quickly. You need to give them time to acknowledge each statement, okay? It’s a legal thing. Ryan?

  • They follow a workflow that takes them through anything from a standard dismissal to a violent aggressor(挑衅者).

  • What are they doing now? Are they practicing?

  • Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for today’s challenge speaker, Mr. Ryan Bingham.

  • Go get them.(去试试吧)

  • Last year, I flew 350,000 miles. The moon is 250.

  • Think you to imagine for a second that you’re carrying a backpack. I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. You feel them?

  • I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. Start with the little things, the things on shelves and in drawers.

  • Hey, honey, who’s at the door?

  • It’s just somebody who’s lost.

  • What were you thinking, showing up at my door like that?

  • What do you mean? I… I wanted to see you. I didn’t know you had a family. Why wouldn’t you tell me that?

  • I thought I was a part of your real life.

  • I thought, I thought we signed up for(报名 ) the same thing.

  • Try and help me understand exactly what it is that you signed up for.

  • I thought our relationship was perfectly clear. I mean, you are an escape. You’re a break from our normal lives. You’re a parenthesis.(插曲)

  • I’m a parenthesis?

  • You don’t even know what you want. Ryan, I’m a grown-up, okay? So, if you would like to see me again, then, then give me a call. Okay?

  • You’re the youngest yet to hit 10 mil. Don’t know where you found the time.

  • You know how many times I thought about this moment? Played out(幻想) the conversation that you and I would have right here.

  • What did you want to say?

  • That’s all right. It happens to all of us.

Based on the following story, continue the story by writing two paragraphs, paragraph 1 beginning with "A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. " and paragraph 2 beginning with "I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared."respectively with 150 words. I was invited to a cookout on an old friend's farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years.A noise at a window caught my attention,so I entered it. It was a hummingbird,desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up. With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside,closing the door securely behind me. When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes.I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly.Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty? As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering,she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment,this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight. During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say good-bye.”
