The one time I wasnt sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldnt understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasnt until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. Ive learned also that you cant take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and dont come back. One moment theyre living and the next minute theyre not. And, it doesnt matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You cant be used up by it. You cant live by it.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. Cool can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say Its cool.You may think, Hes so cool, when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of cool. You can use it instead of many words such as new or surprising. Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one students paper was just the one sentence, Its so cool. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without cool, some people have no words to show the same meaning.
