A few years ago, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off． The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen． Our engines don’t work． We are going to jump-start them． Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens．”

That was all he said． “See what happens?” Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that? At that point． I could only laugh nervously． One woman started crying, “Oh no! We are going to crash!’’ There were sighs of hopelessness and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet．

The pilot even seemed unhappy． He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did． We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing． We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief．

While I do prefer planning better than “see what happens” when it comes to flying, it really isn’t such a bad idea for life．All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed result． But success will never be guaranteed． The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens． If your effort is to build a business then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t． Do not wait until you have everything you need． You never will!

If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding．

If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as your think． It could be fun!

When traveling, i hope that my pilot has a more detailed plan than “we will see what happens” ． But in life, it is not a bad strategy at all．

1.What was the pilot’s attitude toward the situation?

A．Disappointed and panicked

B．Surprised and honest

C．Comforting and encouraging

D．Hesitant and weak．

2.What was the passengers’ reaction when they arrived in Norfolk ?

A．They were thankful and relieved．

B．They cheered for the pilot’s correct operation．

C．They complained that the plane was not safe enough

D．They just walked off the plane as if nothing had happened．

3.What can we know from the passage?

A．The plane was delayed because of its wheels．

B．The plane arrived at the airport safely．

C．It was a terrible journey for the author．

D．Most of the passengers remained calm on hearing the bad news

4.What is the main idea of this article ?

A．“we will see what happens” is not a good plan for pilots

B．Try to have everything prepared before you do something

C．When you want to do something, you have to actually do it ．

D．Never stop chasing your goals even if they are certain to fail

For years my husband, John, and I had dreamed of taking our three kids to Disney World．We'd planned our trip down to the last detail and dollar．But in Georgia, halfway there, our car broke down．

At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week．Meanwhile, John tried to find us a rental car．After many phone calls, John finally found a car．Luckily, our auto club would pick up the tab．We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule．We tried every ride and met Mickey．

At the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our car．It turned out that the mechanic hadn't even looked at it yet! John got on the phone again．He found it would cost more than $ l, 100 to rent a car to drive home．That plus a plane ticket for him to go pick up our own car and we'd be out over $2,000!

I wailed（痛哭） and asked John, "What are we going to do?"  He said, "It'll work out．" John encouraged me not to lose heart and he insisted on trying to find a way out．Amazingly, John found a car transport company that had a car we could drive home, paying only for gas! But all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about the money we'd still need for John's trip back to the garage and another long driving home．

When we got home, the high school student who had fed our cats asked how our trip was．I gave him the rundown, "Things worked out okay except that our car's still stuck in Georgia．" "No problem," he said．"I'm heading to Florida for a spring break with my parents．We'll be glad to stop in Georgia on the way back and pick up your car．"

We ended up spending only $50 more than we'd budgeted．The next week, our car was back, and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble．Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last．

1.From the passage we can learn that________．

2.The underlined phrase "pick up the tab" probably means “___________”．

3.Why was the author unhappy at the end of the weekend?

4.We can infer from the passage that _______________________．

The world is filled with smart, talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago, my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed within just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is that only great talent is not enough．

I am often shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year．A business consultant (顾问) who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle with money．It was this business consultant that gave me the phase, “They are one skill away from great wealth”.

There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke(破产）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial(财务的）intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn．

When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．

A．by listening to the engine

C．by pulling it to the garage

D．by driving it

2.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
