请根据课本中3a的内容,完成短文填空。

Almost 10 years 6. later, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2011 and realized that my alarm had never gone off. I jumped out of bed and went straight to the 7. airport. But by the time I got there, my plane to New Zealand had already 8. taken off. I thought that I was unlucky. The other planes were full so I had to wait 9. till the next day.

知识探究
知识点1We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building.
【自主探究1】 stare是不及物动词,意为“盯着看;凝视”。常用短语stare at意为“凝视;盯着看”。
【自主探究2】 disbelief 为不可数名词,意为“不信;怀疑”。in disbelief意为“怀疑地,难以置信地”。
【自主探究3】 burn 作动词,意为“着火;燃烧”。burning是现在分词作定语,相当于形容词,用来修饰后面的名词building,表示“燃烧的”。
【习题演练】
1. 不要那样地盯着她,那是不礼貌的。
Don't stare at her like that. It is impolite.
2. “你没写作业?”老师难以置信地问他。
