Some people took a tourist bus to a mountainous area .The scenery was really _______and a couple of young lovers were _______ so much by the natural beauty that they got off the bus on the way. Shortly after the bus went on, they heard a_______ boom ahead of the road. It was a huge rock rolling down in the landslide that hit the  bus and fell with it into a deep valley. The lovers were greatly _______by the news that no passengers on_______ survived. When they calmed down, they _______ and expressed their feelings in a few words.
The above story was told by a_______ when we were riding a tourist bus to a scenic mountain. He asked us to guess what the lovers said after the disaster that they had _______ escaped.
Often we read reports about traffic accidents, among which there were lucky ones who missed the bus and _______ the disaster. Those people usually said with a sigh of _______ “Fortunately I was not on board.” On our bus the passengers’ _______ to the guide were various.
But the answer was quite out of our _______.“If we hadn’t got down and delayed the bus, it would have passed the dangerous spot and all the passengers would have _______”
The story passed from person to person as a sort of wit (智慧) test, but I think _______ It actually serves as an examination of a person’s mind. I pay my heart-felt respect to the couple who, instead of feeling lucky, _______ themselves for causing the loss of lives. People all have heart for mercy , but it is often a flashing thought across one’s mind that decides whether it is good or evil (邪恶的).
