请阅读下面非连续性文本，按要求完成所给内容，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。

An important decision

A Chinese airplane made an emergency landing (紧急迫降) after its window across the front of the plane was broken. Because of the decision of Liu Chuanjian, a pilot of the airplane, no passengers (乘客) were hurt.

We make decisions every day. Everything we say and do is the result of a decision. For every decision，big or small，it’s of great importance to make the right decision. There is some advice that can help you make right decisions.

Get as much information as possible

Find out as much as you can. 当你有足够的信息时，做出正确的决定对你来说是容易的。

Write down all your choices (选择)

Scientists find that having too many choices can make it hard to make a right decision. So write down all the choices and delete those most impossible ones.

When shouldn’t you make a decision?

You’d better not make a decision at night as you may be tired after a day’s study or work. It’s easy for you to make a wrong decision.

Talk to your friends or family members

Your friends or family members may have more experience than you. Maybe they can give you some good advice.

Who harms children?

When some Chinese students leave home to go to school, they find that they don’t know how to look after themselves and how to make decisions by themselves.

Decide for yourself

Some Chinese parents make almost all decisions for their children, from choosing schools to choosing jobs. Sometimes they even decide on many small things such as clothing and diet.

However, making decisions for children does not help them but harms them in many ways. It will make children lack independence (缺乏独立). What’s more, parents’ decisions can’t show their children personal ideas and interest. So parents should give their children rights to let them make their own decisions.

1.Please translate the underlined (划线的) sentence into Chinese.

2.Why is the emergency landing of a Chinese airplane mentioned (提及)?

3.Please translate the underlined sentence into English.

4.What advice does the writer give us about making the right decision? (One example is OK.)

5.What dose the underlined word “It” refer to?

6.What do you think of making decisions? Why do you think so?
