Last year, 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.

All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed (有保证的) 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. 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.

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!

1.How did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?

A. Disappointed.　　 B. Anxious.

C. Curious.　　　　 D. Relieved.

2.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means 　　　　 .

A. to think carefully before you make friends

B. to start to fly first to see what will happen in the sky

C. to make an effort even if the result is uncertain

D. to get up from the chair and greet somebody

3.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. We Will See What Happens

B. I Survived an Adventurous Flight

C. The Pilot Risked Our Lives

D. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking Chances

About 6 years ago, I was on a plane next to a woman. I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into “ignore pattern”, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself.

“Hi: my name is Helga!”

We got to talking and eventually it came up that I had started an organization in high school called R.A.K.E.(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for that. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dad’s health was on the decline. Later her father’s physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3-hour plane ride, she sat in silence around strangers.

When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part I’ll never forget about Helga’s story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked al me and said, “Houston, not a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day.” It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isn’t normal.

Kindness isn’t normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. I’m reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying about our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help.

So,　　 I’ve made it my mission to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. I’m always be on the lookout for the little opportunities that surround me every day to do something nice.

1.What impressed the author most about Helga’s story?

A. Helga’s anxiety over her father’s sudden illness.

B. Helga had no one to talk to on her flight lo Arizona.

C. Helga was ignored by people around her when she cried.

D. Helga couldn’t get over her sadness over her Father’s death.

2.Which can best explain the underlined part “default setting” in paragraph 5?

A. Usual way of doing things. B. Unexpected way to do things.

C. Ignorance to people around. D. Biggest surprise to others.

3.What can we know about the author?

A. He started many clubs in high school. B. He used to be a school teacher.

C. He teaches kids how to behave well. D. He is a promoter of a good cause.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Comforting People in Need B. Making Kindness Normal

C. Ignoring Unnecessary Troubles D. Practising Kindness on the Plane
