In May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, I arrived at my building around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office. As I was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit my office building. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.

I was very glad to eat it first. Then I felt strange. It tasted special. What was it I looked at my little brother. He laughed loudly and said nothing.
Later that day, I knew he put toothpaste (牙膏) into the Oreo. I couldn’t believe I was fooled by him. I brushed my teeth again. After that, my brother gave me a box of Oreo, and said “Happy April Fool’s Day.” Finally I was happy to get these delicious biscuits.
I think I had a happy and lucky day.

Life Is Full of the Unexpected
In May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office. As I was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit my office building. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.
Why did the writer oversleep
What would happen if the writer went to New Zealand that day
What do you think of the writer’s luck
Read Para. 2 and answer:
Because his alarm didn’t went off.
He would meet the earthquake and might be in danger.
At first he seemed unlucky, but finally he was really lucky!
Almost 10 years later, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2011 and realized that my alarm had never went off. I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport. But by the time I got to the airport, my plane to New Zealand had already taken off. "This is the first holiday I've taken in a year, and now I've missed my plane. What bad luck!" I thought to myself. The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day. The next morning, I heard about the earthquake in New Zealand the day before. My bad luck had unexpectedly turned into a good thing.
