My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45．He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life．

Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter , some of his words have lived in my heart．One part always stands out．“Right now ,you are pretending to be a time killer(消磨時(shí)間者)．But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best．” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself．“You will do something great．” He didn’t know what would be, and neither did I ,but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself , I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask , “Is this what you were talking about , Dad ? Should I keep going ?”

A long way from 12 now , I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress．Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next : to be proud of , and believe in , somebody else．It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children．Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had．Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail．They’re only afraid of failing us．They’re only afraid of failing us．They don’t worry about being disappointed．Their fear as mine was until my father’s letter is of being a disappointment．

Give your children permission to succeed．They’re waiting for you to believe in them．I always knew my parents loved me．But trust me ：That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real , and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts ：“Don’t worry ; you’ll do something great．”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back．

閱讀理解。

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

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A，B，C，和D）中選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car．Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所)．I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories．

“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday．”

I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened．My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacancies’．So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCIES’, which in English means there are free rooms．Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun．In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road．When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun．Instead, the road ended in a large hole．

English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French．I meant that I would like some more．However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you．”

1.My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______．

A．learning English

B．finding places to stay in England

C．driving their car on English roads

D．going to England by car

2.I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______．

A．they would be able to practise their English

B．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C．it would be convenient for them to have dinner

D．there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

3.If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______．

A．fall into a hole

B．have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

C．find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

D．have to take a different road

4.When someone offered me more coffee and I said ‘Thank you’ in French, I ______．

A．didn’t really want any more coffee

B．wanted them to take the coffee pot away

C．really wanted some more coffee

D．wanted to express my politeness
