Question

【题目】【改编】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.

试题分析：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者的一段亲身经历，几年前，我和我朋友乘坐一架飞机，等待着它的降落。此时飞行员的声音响彻了整架飞机，他说：“女士们先生们，我为飞机的延误感到抱歉，飞机的引擎不工作了，我们试图发动它们。一旦我们能使它们正常工作了，我们就可以飞上云霄看看究竟发生了什么。”这就是他所说的一切，“看看发生了什么？”难道我们不能想一个比这更好的方案吗？最终这次飞机事故化险为夷，让作者长舒一口气的同时，也让作者体会到其实生活中很多事情都不可能准备得特别完美，不要等到你有你需要的一切才去行动，你永远也不会！所以当你想要做的时候，就去做吧！
