When our flight left the Orlando airport that Friday morning,we were a happy group. After the plane took off,it was clear that something was wrong. The plane was bumping up and down. Many travelers,including me,thought it was just a small problem.

However,we did not remain calm for long. Minutes later,our plane began going down quickly. Then suddenly,the plane climbed higher but that didn't help. The pilot soon made an announcement(通告).

"Our hydraulic(液壓)system has failed. We will be returning to the airport. Fuel(燃料)will be dropped from the airplane. We want to have as little on board as possible in the event of a bumpy landing.”

All around,people cried and screamed. Then,I heard a calm voice,speaking peacefully. A mother was talking to her little daughter.

A picture came into my mind of another little girl who had recently survived a terrible plane crash. Her mother had put her own body over the little girl's to protect her. The mother died. The child was told over and over again that it had not been her fault(過錯)that her mommy had gone away. I hoped this situation would not end the same way The mother said,"I love you so much. Do you know for sure that I love you more than anything?"

"Yes,Mommy,"the little girl said

"And remember,no matter what happens,that I love you always. And that you are a good girl. Sometimes things happen that are not your fault. You are still a good girl and my love will always be with you."

Then the mother put her body over her daughter's and prepared to crash. Luckily,the landing was safe at last. I have been deeply impressed by the mother's voice since then.

1.Which of the following shows the right order of the things?

a. Fuel was dropped from the plane

b. The plane was bumping up and down.

c. A little girl survived a terrible plane crash.

d. The mother talked to her daughter in a peaceful voice.

Mom and Dad — they’re two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day and, over your lifetime, they influence you more than anyone else you will meet.

Moms and Dads need to care for their kids from the minute they are born. It’s a parent’s job to love and help kids — and most parents will do this as possible as they can, even when the “kids” grow up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.

Here are some ways you can stay close, get along and build a strong relationship:

Spend time together. Don’t play a computer game or watch TV by yourself. Ask your mom and dad to play with you, go outside together, play a game, or read a book out loud. Try to spend more time together.

Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re unhappy. Tell them if you’re sad or have a problem. They’ll be happy to help you.

Be kind and caring. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug, a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. It’s important to show that you care for each other. Kids and parents show their love by respecting (尊重) each other, and being caring, polite and thoughtful.

Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know you’re doing a good job.

1.Your parents are two of the most important people in your life because they _____.

A.see you every day B.have duty to care for you

C.need your help D.influence you more than anyone else

2.Most parents _____ after their kids have grown up.

A.stop helping their kids B.try their best to help their kids

C.leave their kids D.are busy taking exercise

3.What should kids do when they’re unhappy?

A.Watch TV by themselves.

B.Play a game with their parents.

C.Tell their parents and ask for help.

D.Be kind to their parents.

4.Which can be the best title of the passage?

A.Getting Along with Your Parents

B.Talking to Your Parents

C.Caring for Your Parents

D.Spending More Time with Your Parents
