I
suddenly realized I was experiencing a complete and total absence of worry, as there was absolutely nothing I could do to 　10　 the problem with the plane.  　　As the runway rose to meet our plane’s　11　 underbelly and the firefighters race to meet us, I felt a strange and beautiful 　12　. And as the plane landed perfectly—because, as it 　13　, the problem was with a sensor and not with the landing gear—and people cheered and hugged one another, I realized I wasn’t a 　14　 at all.

wanting to control everything.  　　And now I’m terribly worried about that. 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文, 作者曾经是一个忧心忡忡的人, 总是担心一些无中生有的事情。后来他做出了改变, 在一次飞机事故中他始终都很镇定。最后他发现自己以前总是担忧是因为控制欲太强。
