Just a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London. The flight had been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take-off. I had my iPod in place and a new book to read. Then, over the loudspeaker came the pilot’s voice: “The ground crew has found a metal instrument in one tire. We regret that we must cancel this flight.”

The passengers’ reactions that announcement led to were interesting. One man close to me began to argue with a flight attendant. A couple in another row complained loudly. A businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers responded differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the overhead compartments. A teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sitting next to me laughed and said: “Hey, it’s not the end of the world,” before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them, the wisest among us who has a remarkable ability to maintain grounded(稳定的) when times get tough.

No life is perfect; mine certainly isn’t. We all must face challenges, both large and small. You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances(外部环境). We always have the choice to be strong and kind when things fall apart.

That’s grace under pressure. My seatmate was right — things could have been so much worse. Anyway, I am safe. I have my health. I have two wonderful children. I have work I love and so much to be grateful for. Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home.

1.What caused the passengers’ different reactions?

A.The loudspeaker. B.The delay of the flight.

C.The ground crew’s fault. D.The pilot’s announcement.

2.Who turned his anger on the seat?

A.A teenager helping the disabled. B.An old man taking bags down.

C.A man in a black suit. D.A man close to the author.

3.What did the woman sitting next to the author do?

A.She assisted a disabled woman. B.She made a phone call to her family.

C.She helped others carry their luggage. D.She told moving stories to her children.

4.What can we learn from the story?

A.Our life is full of ups and downs.

B.It is natural to be scared under pressure.

C.We should help each other in times of difficulty.

D.We should be positive and calm when life is hard.

When Cherry Watson travelled on a recent flight from New York to Washington and noticed an “awful tension” in the cabin, she first thought it was caused by typical bad-tempered passengers. But as the flight neared its end, it became obvious that something was very wrong.

A teenage boy with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合症) who was traveling with his family had become upset and would not return to his seat, regardless of the cabin crew’s warnings over the loudspeaker that it was almost time to land. The pilot was forced to circle above the airport, delaying the landing and angering people on the already tense flight.

“If it was a cartoon,” remembered Watson, “there would have been smoke coming out of people’s ears.”

The boy’s elderly parents and adult brothers and sisters tried to persuade him to get off the floor and back into his seat, but in vain.Watson, who used to be a teacher, stood up and quickly headed to the back of the plane.

She found the boy in the passage between rows of seats, lying on his belly, and lay down on her stomach to face him. She began chatting calmly with him, asking his name, his favorite book, and his favorite characters. He told her he felt sick and she tried to comfort him.

Minutes later, he allowed her to hold his hand, and then together they got properly back into airplane seats. Watson asked for sick bags, and held them as the boy threw up several times, including on her. As she helped him clean up, she repeatedly told him everything would be okay and that they’d get through it together.

After the plane was finally able to land, no one was impatient to step off the flight as one might expect. Instead, calmed passengers—obviously following Watson’s amazing example—allowed the boy and his family to depart first, smiling at them as they passed. His parents tearfully thanked Watson for what she had done, and a doctor sitting nearby also let her know he had even taken notes on her expert way of handling the situation.

1.The landing was delayed because _____.

A. the plane was out of control

B. the pilot was forced to change the destination

C. a family ignored the warnings

D. a boy refused to sit in his seat

2.Watson successfully handled the “awful tension” by _____.

A. fighting against unfair treatment

B. calling on other passengers to join her

C. asking an experienced doctor to help

D. communicating with the boy

3.What changed the angry passengers’ attitude at last?

A. Watson’s efforts.　　 B. The plane’s safe landing.

C. The crew’s behavior.　　 D. The boy’s improvement.

4.Which of the following words can best describe Watson?

A. Patient and ambitious.　　 B. Kind and cool-headed.

C. Wise and cooperative.　　 D. Generous and cautious.

Mrs. Obama spoke to the graduates of Martin Luther King Jr. High School on Saturday in her only high school commencement（毕业典礼）speech this year. The ceremony took place in the gymnasium of Tennessee State University.

The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her time in college focusing on academe achievements. While her success in college and law school led to a good job, she said, she ended up focusing on public service. “My message to you today is that don’t waste a minute living someone else’s dream,” she said. “It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy and you won’t find what you love simply by checking mailboxes or surfing the net.”

She said MLK reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago. “My No.1 goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me,” she said. “I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement. Unfortunately, schools like this don’t exist for every kid.” she said. “You are blessed.”

The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers, and that how they respond determines what they will become. “That’s when you find out what you’re really made of in those hard times,” she said. “But you can only do that if you’re willing to put yourself in a position where you might fail.” Overcoming difficulties has been the mark of many great people, she said, “Oprah was demoted（降职）from her first job as a news reporter, and now she doesn’t even need a last name,” she said of media giant Oprah Winfrey “And then there’s this guy Barack Obama, I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures. He lost his first race for Congress”, the first lady joked, “and now he gets to call himself my husband.”

1.When choosing her high school, Mrs. Obama ________.

2.By mentioning Oprah’s example, Mrs. Obama wanted to tell graduates _______.

A. to start as a news reporter

B. to work hard to get promoted

C. to be brave enough to risk failing

A. This was the first time she gave a speech to graduates.

B. She complained about her school life in her speech.

C. She is a graduate of Tennessee State University.
