When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you!”
I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.
The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines(TWA).
I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac (机场停机坪) in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline.
I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.
Many people crowded the terminal because ________.
A. they were ready to board on the planes
B. something was wrong with the terminal
C. the flights to the Northeast were canceled
D. the gate agent wouldn’t help the passengers
The writer got to Providence ________ at last.
A. by air B. by van C. by train D. by underground
Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.
B. The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.
C. Even a small mistake might cause complaints from passengers in the past.
D. McDonald’s hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options.
What can be implied from the passage?
A. The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.
B. The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.
C. The writer with other passengers waited to be picked up patiently.
D. Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane.

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.

“Andrew, I was 31 today,” he answered quietly.
I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you 32 at home?”
Then I noticed his 33 and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. 34 our family has been his joy, and I guess I have 35 his work for granted.

For the first time, I 42 my dad as vulnerable (易受伤的). He asked my brother and me to 43 less. I gave up my pocket money, 44 it wasn’t much. I felt I was doing the right. I also found a part-time job.
After several difficult months of searching, my dad 45 to go in a totally different direction. He 46 that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him 47 it, and I admired how much time and 48 he expended. I 49 knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really affected me.
Although this was one of the 50 experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity (逆境), and will be my foundations for success.
