my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s,with
great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my
parents to Europe,where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium,
Netherlands and West Germany.
I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about
finally going abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally
got to experience them first hand,during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and
even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really
smooth and thoroughly enjoyable,even for someone like me,who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe,we took the Lufthansa airport express
from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport,for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along
the Rhine (莱茵河),it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood
on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation,but the Lufthansa
crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again,with the
quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas,Lufthansa will always hold a special place in
my heart.Even today,I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of
choosing any other airline.Flying,in general,for me,has always been an ordeal (terrible and
painful experience)．Flying on Lufthansa,however,is something I always have and always
will look forward to.

to sit up in his bed for an hour a day. His bed was next to the room"s only window. The other man had to
spend all his time lying on his back on the only other bed in the room.
Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up and describe what he saw outside the
window, the man in the other bed would relive. The window __2__ a park with a lovely lake, the man
had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children __3__ their model boats. Hearing the
description, the soldier on the other side of the room imagined the beautiful __4__ with his eyes closed.
One warm afternoon, a strange thought __5__ the soldier: Why should his roommate have all the
__6__ of seeing everything while he never got to see anything? It seemed __7__. The man felt
ashamed at first, but gradually his __8__ turned into hatred and soon turned him bitter and angry. He
found himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window and this only thought now __9__ his life.
One day the man by the window died and the body was taken away. __10__ it seemed
appropriate, the man asked the nurse if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to
make the __11__ and after making sure he was comfortable, she left the room.
Slowly and painfully, he supported himself on one elbow to take his first look out of the window.
However, he saw nothing but a blank and dirty wall…
So the pursuit of __12__ isn"t a gift coming through the window. It"s a positive attitude we
consciously choose to express. Our circumstances are just a small part of what makes us joyful. If we
wait for them to get it just right, we"ll never find lasting joy.
