Have you kept the secrets in your heart? Have you tried to hide anything from others? Is it all right if you don’t tell the truth? You’ll find the answer after reading the following passage.

Marie was Joey’s mother. There was something wrong with her son’s feet. The doctor told her that Joey would be able to walk like others, but would never run very fast. At the age of eight, Joey ran around with the children in his neighborhood. His mother never told him that he wouldn’t be able to run as fast as the other children. So he didn’t know.

In the seventh grade, he decided to try out for a runner on his school team. He ran more than any of the others in order to be chosen. Joey practiced running four to five miles a day —— even one day when he had a high fever. Although Marie was worried about him, she never told him he couldn’t run with such a high fever. So he didn’t know.

Two weeks later, Joey made the team. Marie never told him he couldn’t do it. So he didn’t know. He just did it.

Although sometimes we don’t tell others the truth, it can make them optimistic and meet the challenge(挑战) of their lives bravely. Why not go for it?

九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

If you have ever passed the cockpit(驾驶舱) in a flight and tried to understand your pilots' conversation, you probably didn't gain much from them. From terms like "niner" to "Zulu", pilot-speak can sound like its own language.

The special language is called "aviation English". According to the International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO), pilots on international airlines and air traffic controllers on airlines need to speak "aviation English" when they communicate. Aviation English is necessary all over the world because it is unrealistic for a pilot to know all the different languages of the country to which he or she must fly. In addition, most of the phrases flight crew use were born out of a need for clear communication with a few words over an occasionally fuzzy(模糊不清的) radio transmission. Pilots must make effort to reduce their transmission time.

Misunderstandings between pilots and air traffic controllers can lead to disaster, so they must make sure not to misunderstand one another. To avoid making a mistake about understanding with similar sounding consonants, the ICAO has a standard phonetic alphabet: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot Golf. Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu. These words stand for the letters from A to Z. The pronunciation of numbers should also follow exact standards. For example, zero(0) is always "zero", not "oh". 3 becomes "tree". 4 is called "fower",5 becomes "fife", and 9 becomes "niner".

There are also more colorful phrases that pilots say were produced in the sky and shared widely among them. For example, "Feet wet" warns air traffic controllers when a military aircraft is flying overwater. "Pan-pan" is reserved for communication with air traffic controllers. When pilots notice something unusual with their plane that stops short of an immediate emergency, they use "Pan-pan", a signal of urgency(紧迫) and attention. When pilots use this signal, others on the same radio frequency will "shut up and let you get your message across", allowing air traffic control to provide the suitable aid and prevent a great danger in flight.

1.Pilots and air traffic controllers use aviation English in order to ________.

①save the transmission time

②make the orders clear and simple

③avoid mistaking passengers' conversation

④make international communication possible

A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④

2.If a pilot says "Papa, November, Two, Tree", it may stand for ________.

A.PU2T B.8811TT C.PN23 D.88NT3

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.An organization called ICAO created aviation English.

B.Aviation English is really necessary on national airlines.

C.A pilot will report "Feet wet" if there is much water in his cockpit.

D."Pan-pan" means the plane meets some trouble and needs attention.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.They Have Their Secret Language B.Pilots' Language Is Hard To Learn

C.Here's What They're Really Saying D.Aviation English Is Developing Quickly

Keeping a gratitude journal helps student achieve higher grades, higher goals and more joy with relationships, life, and school and they prefer to give back. Keeping a gratitude journal makes both students and adults be more positive, experience more social satisfaction, exercise more often, have fewer physical problems, and sleep better.

I see these positive changes in my students. One of them shared gratitude journals with her family. Her mom was in a nursing school and was very stressed.

Have you ever tried to hide your feelings from someone during a conversation?

1.

Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people’s feelings according to changes in the colour of their faces. Scientists studied pictures　 of people’s facial expressions.2.For example, happiness makes our faces a little red. Disgust (厌恶) creates not only a blue-yellow colour, but also a red-green colour on our faces.

“We believe these colour changes are the result of small changes in blood.” 3.Does the colour alone help people tell others’ feelings?

To figure this out, scientists added colour changes to pictures of faces. 4.They were able to tell the feelings 75% of the time without any difficulty.

This is why there are some Chinese sayings that connect feelings to the colour of one’s face.5.When a person is very angry, we’d say he or she is blue in the face.

根据短文内容，将下面方框内的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整、通顺（每个选项只能用一次）。

A.But this raises a question.

B.They found that every facial expression is connected to a certain colour.

C.It’s not always easy, because the colours on your face may tell the truth.

D.Then, volunteers were asked to tell what feelings the faces were showing.

E.For example, when two people are arguing over something, we say they are red in the face.
