Last spring, Michelle fell in love with kite-boarding, an adventure sport that combines surfing and sailing. So she got a kite-board, took some   21   and a few months later drove out to the Banana River. There she met John, who offered to help her   22   her skills. One day, John   23   Michelle while his wife, Nancy, stayed behind on a Jet Ski (摩托艇). In that way, there would be   24   to bring back Michelle if she got into trouble. After John gave her a few   25   , he took off. He’d sailed about three quarters of a mile down the river when he felt the wind   26   . He knew that the stronger the wind grew, the more   27   it would be for Michelle to control her board.   28  , he turned and started sailing back toward the two women. Michelle had   29   decided to head for shore. The wind was too strong for her to handle the kite. She prepared to land her   30   by releasing one of the four lines that kept the sail in the air.   31   she didn’t have a chance. She was thrown over the water, still   32    to the kite. Seconds later, a huge wind sent the kite upward. Even more dangerous, the sail’s lines started to twist together, round and round. Michelle   33   to free from the kite. But she failed. Nancy was several hundred feet away on the Jet Ski and couldn’t get to her   34  enough to help. By then, John had closed in and Michelle felt John   35   her out of the water. As she held his arm, he tried to pull the handle but couldn’t   36   it. Then suddenly, John let go. At that point, Michelle was sure she would die without him holding   37   her. But John had seen Nancy approaching and   38   that he’d have a better chance of helping Michelle. He jumped onto the Jet Ski. As the kite dived down, with all his   39  , he jumped from the Jet Ski onto the kite and dragged it to the water. Finally Michelle was saved. This experience hasn’t kept Michelle from loving kite-boarding. “Life is fragile (脆弱的), but it’s meant to be   40   ,” she says. 21.
