A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. , before we took off, we heard the pilot’s voice throughout the plane, “sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to the engines with it. We will in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”

See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to !” There were sighs of desperation and spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn’t even yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are , so we are. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”

There was crying we had walked into grave. But, the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone for still being alive.

Although I do sincerely like to have a plan “see what happens”, which really isn’t such a bad life strategy, all too often, I would see people pursuing their goals with inaction just because they don’t have success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what hap­pens.

If you are planning to learn a new skill, get up in the air, and see what happens! It might not be as as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought. It could be ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no of guaran­teed success.

科目:高中英语 来源:2013-2014学年湖北省天门市毕业生四月调研测试英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解

People often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.

Ask anyone in business. They will tell you that it is a jungle out there. The expression probably began because a jungle is filled with wild animals and unknown dangers that threaten people.

People in business have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments. Bogus means something that is not real.

Nobody is sure how the word got started. But it began to appear in American newspapers in the 1800s. A newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts, said the word came from a criminal whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he did not have enough money in the bank. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing. The newspaper said Americans shortened and changed the criminal’s name Borghese to Bogus.

People trying to earn money must be also aware of the risk of being ripped off. A writer for a magazine said he first saw the expression used in 1971. It was on a sign that a student carried during a protest demonstration at a university. The message on the sign was that the student felt cheated.

To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. This expression means to get to the bottom or the most important part of something. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “it sounds good, but how much does it cost?”

Word expert Charles Funk thinks the expression comes from sailors on ships. They clean the bottom of a boat. When they have removed all the dirt, they are down to the copper pieces that hold the ship together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can prevent rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money in that jungle out there. And, some good luck will help, too.

1.Why do people say money talks?

A. Because the rich tend to decide a thing.

B. Because money can tell us something.

C. Because it is hard to earn much money.

D. Because everyone loves to have money.

2.My uncle is in a jungle out there, which means .

A. he will fight against wild animals

B. he is interested to go through a jungle

C. he will face many difficulties soon

D. he is a success in his own business

3.When you ask how much it cost, it means .

A. you declare you won’t be cheated

B. you get down to the real issues

C. you care nothing about the quality

D. you are always caring about money

4.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. many English words have their interesting stories

B. brass is a necessary piece of equipment of a ship

C. many businessmen have been cheated in life

D. Charles Funk has created many interesting words

From earliest times, people have always attracted by movement, but it is not until this century we have managed to capture movement and to record them. In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the creating characters do exactly which you want them. A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat. Felix was a nice cat, who could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as handle and then putting it back. Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. Thus, to be an animator, you don't have to be a professional. It is impossible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is draw direct on to blank film and then run a projector.
