American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19. 2003. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London’s main tourist attractions.
Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames（泰晤士河）and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process (过程)doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.
Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.
In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.
“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”
But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.

A. pleasant B. delicious C. dangerous D. important

I had a friend who visited me from out of town and I wanted to show him the CN Tower. It was one of the tallest structures on the earth. So I thought it would offer a(n) 36 sight.
We were standing in line for 45minutes to enjoy the 37 up to the watch point. When we got there, we went around the 38 of the tower and saw the hard wire fence 39 to the structure serving as a barrier. We went back inside to look for the glass floor that provided a direct view 40 . As soon as both of us 41 , we stopped before walking onto it. We found that our legs began to 42 . I stopped for a minute considering the step, taking several seconds to 43 the edge before moving.
And then I had a thought in my mind：“It is far 44 compared to any other floor in this building. There is no real danger to me — it’s 45 an illusion. Look at all the people standing on it, and think about those who have stood on it before.”I began to 46 that step onto the glass floor. I didn’t look down — 47 not for a few minutes.
I walked on the 48 and looked around and thought about how 49 the experience was. I even found myself jumping up and down. There was no 50 , and it was certainly an illusion.
I considered how many things in our lives we 51 and exactly how many of them are actually illusions. I thought about all the things we 52 ourselves from doing because we have 53 ourselves into thinking there’s risk. I thought about all the things that I still have yet to do that appeared 54 . I was glad to discover that although fear isn’t a stranger to me, my desire to live a life without 55 has a much stronger pull.
