Question

【題目】Laugh away pain

Several years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. It was the most difficult time I have ever faced. I think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold onto my sanity（心智健全）. Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy（化療）, I lost all of my hair and I was bald as a golf ball. I had always enjoyed wearing hats, so I ordered several special hats with the hair already attached. It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.

I have always been a big golf fan. At one point during my cancer treatments, my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and take a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona. There was a Senior PGA Tour event called The Tradition being played, and that seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.

The first day of the tournament（錦標(biāo)賽）brought out huge crowd. It was beautiful day, and I was in heaven （天堂）. I was standing and watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box（開(kāi)球區(qū)）: Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskopf.

Just as they arrived at the tee box, the unimaginable happened. A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway（高爾夫球場(chǎng)的平坦球道）! The thousands of spectators lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence, all eyes on me. Even my golf idols were watching me, as my hair was right in their flight path. was mortified（窘迫的）! Embarrassed as I was, I knew I couldn't just stand there. Someone had to do something to get things moving again.

So I took a deep breath and went out into the middle of the fairway. I grabbed my hat and hair, nestled（安放）them back on my head as best I could. Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announced: “Gentlemen, the wind is blowing from left to right.”

They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole.
