One mile long runway can take people across the oceans, to reach every corner of the world.

That’s the magic power of airplanes as well as airports. Similar as most airports are, some do have their unique features.

Lukla Airport

Lukla Airport, is a small airport in the town of in the town of Lukla, eastern Nepal. A program titled Most Extreme Airports, rated the airport as the most dangerous airport in the world. The airport is popular because Lukla is the place where most people start the climb to Mount Everest Base Camp. High wind, cloud cover, and changing visibility often mean flights can be delayed or the airport closed. The airport’s runway is accessible only to helicopters and small, fixed-wing, short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft. The runway is only 527m with an elevation of 2,845m.

Princess Juliana International Airport

Princess Juliana International Airport is in the country of Saint Maarten. The airport is perhaps best known for very low-altitude flyover landing approaches due to one end of its runway being extremely close to the shore and Maho Beach. The thrilling approaches and ease of access for shooting spectacular images make the airport one of the world’s favorite places among plane spotters.

Gibraltar Airport

Gibraltar Airport serves the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, a tiny peninsula with an area of only 6.8 square kilometers. The lack of flat space there means the peninsula’s only runway is bisected by its busiest road, the Winston Churchill Avenue that heads towards the land border with Spain. It is really scary that there is a four lane highway passing through the middle of the runway!

Kai Tak Airport

Kai Tak Airport was officially known as Hong Kong International Airport from 1954 to 6 July 1998, when it was closed and replaced by the new one at Chek Lap Kok, 30 kms to the west. With numerous skyscrapers and mountains located to the north and its only runway jutting out into Victoria Harbour, landing at the airport were dramatic to experience and technically demanding for pilots. The low altitude manoeuvre required to line up with the runway was so spectacular that some passengers claimed to have glimpsed the television through apartment windows along the final approach.

1.Which of the following pictures can be a scene of Princess Juliana International Airport

2.All of the following can be inferred from this passage Except ________.

A. The transportation of Winston Churchill Avenue might be affected by planes.

B. Lukla airport is the most dangerous airport because of extremely harsh weather

C. An inexperienced pilot might have difficulty landing on Kai Tak Airport

D. People on Maho Beach may have a good chance to view the plane flying overhead

3.Which of these airports is out of business now?

A. Lukla Airport

B. Princess Juliana International Airport

C. Gibraltar Airport

My latest decision is made when I entered Senior 3 in Miss Zhang's class. Since I was not good in English, Miss Zhang asked me to listen attentive in class and put down some important notes. Therefore, I was never a good listener. I went on in my own way , ignore her suggestions completely until Miss Zhang had talk with me. He made me realize the importance of note-taking.

Why are so many people afraid to fail? Quite simply because we forget that failure is part of the human life and that every person has the right to fail. Every person is able to fight failure and finally succeed.

Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.

There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. Young children need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child often feels terrible, of course, when he is not invited to a birthday party, or is not chosen into a football team. But parents should not say “It doesn’t matter.” quickly. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.

Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both adults and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them. Success just repeats what has been done. It is not as good a teacher as failure. You can learn how to give a good party from an unsuccessful one.

1. How do most parents prevent their children from failure?

A. They give them some presents.

B. They don’t tell them that they have failed.

C. They don’t blame others.

D. They help them to come out of failure.

2.Which of the following does a person need to learn when he fails?

A. It’s impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it.

B. He is the worst of all.

C. It’s natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time.

D. His teammates are not good enough.

3.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Learning from Failure

B. Ways of Preventing Failure

C. Reasons of Failure

D. Getting Pleasure from Failure
