        When we are unfamiliar with something，we may feel nervous and fearful．The assistance of others is a good way to help us pull through．

        I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to write a story about parachute jumping．To make it a realistic as well as exciting story，I decided that I first had to make a jump myself． Unfortunately，I am not good at any sports of any kind，let alone parachute jumping．

        My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a hand．He took me to a ground school．The first day’s training included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from an airplane For this，I had to wait until the following morning．

        The next morning，after a hurried，anxious breakfast，I was taken to the airfield．There，two heavy parachutes were put on my back，and an orange helmet was pushed down onto my head．Then I was asked to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway.

        Once on board，the plane was soon climbing．I began to feel nervous．As we reached one thousand metres，Harry，my teacher, hooked(钩)a line from my parachute to a steel ring inside the plane．The line was to pull my parachute open after I jumped．

        “Get ready, Henry,”Harry said．I moved carefully to the door．I wanted to cry,“No，no，no!”But no word came．

        “Jump!”Harry called loudly．“Jump!”

        To my surprise，kicking like a frog I did jump．Away from the plane，and down，down I fell，arms stretched．It worked! The air seemed to hold me up．All at once I was very happy．

       Then I felt a quick pull．My big parachute had opened! It was the best surprise I ever had． I looked down．There were rivers，trees，fields and houses．I heard the soft sound of the air This was fun !

     

    41．The writer made a parachute jump himself        ．

      A．to learn more about parachute jumping

      B．to make his story realistic and exciting

      C．to reduce pressure from his busy work

      D．to prove to others his skill and courage

    42．Which is the right order of the following events?

      a．I began to feel nervous．

      b．The ground school gave me some instructions about parachute jumping．

      c．A small plane stopped slowly on the runway．

      d．I was taken to the airfield．

           A．d，a，b，c    B．d，b，a，c    C．b，d，a，c    D．b，d，c，a

    43．How did the writer feel after he jumped out of the plane?

           A．Happy．    B．Anxious    C．Excited    D．Nervous．

    44．What does the writer intend to tell us through the passage?

      A．If his teacher hadn’t pushed him off the plane．he wouldn’t have made it．

      B．People usually perform better when they are in company with friends．

      C．Instruction and training are necessary in parachute jumping．

      D．With the help of others、we can get over fear and nervousness．
