I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.

Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.

I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.

We’re not robots. It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help

you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”

Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you” when you say “thank you”, it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle of the modern flight.

1.What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?

A. Grateful.B. Fearful.C. Admiring.D. Doubtful.

2.How did the author like her roommate’s job?

A. It was the same as hers.

B. It was more interesting than hers.

C. It was easier than hers.

D. It was more serious than hers.

3.Why does the author fly every Christmas?

A. Because she has nowhere to go.

B. Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.

C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.

D. Because she’d like to earn more money.

4.What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots”?

A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.

B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.

C. Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.

D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.

While the other kids seemed excited about celebrating the end-of-term party by playing games and sharing treats, Jeremy hated the very idea of the gathering.

Afraid to raise the pressure too high, I decided to contribute something that was easy to purchase on the walk to school.

Off we went the day of the party, approaching his school as if nothing was planned. I reminded him of our need to make a purchase, entered his favorite shop, and asked him to select the ripest bunch of grapes. He shot me an anxious look and insisted none of his classmates ever be able to notice he had something to bring to the party. My vision of a successful parenting method, resulting in delivering a sociable child to his school, diverted(转移) sharply from reality.

Back on route, I did my best to hide the sinking feeling of fear. How could I possibly drop him off and then walk into my own classroom to teach a successful class?

My next move was born in the heat of the moment. I said a quick goodbye at the front gate and rushed to his classroom through the emergency exit. I managed to inform his teacher about the grapes in the backpack and be out of the classroom before I could be spied by my son.

So, what happened on that June day? His teacher, a caring educator, worked wonders. My son and I still laugh about the way Mr. B started the day with an unusual question, “Does anyone have any grapes?” While Jeremy admits feeling a bit uncomfortable, the words encouraged him to takeout the fruit. Because of the support he received, he remembers that day with pride for his courage.

1.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “vision” in Paragraph 3?

A. Use.B. Research.C. Understanding.D. Imagination.

2.How did the author feel when she left the shop?

A. Worried.B. Satisfied.C. Grateful.D. Regretful.

3.Why did the author hurry to her son’s classroom?

A. She went to ask the teacher for help.

B. She went there to give her lesson.

C. She was afraid of her son being punished.

D. She was invited to take part in the celebration.

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The teacher inspired Jeremy to share grapes.

B. Jeremy prepared for the coming party.

C. The author helped Jeremy to become sociable.

D. The author taught Jeremy to select goods

In Saturday morning we got up early and studied the map carefully to work out the route. One of my classmates suggested go there by bus to enjoy the street view. It was a long ride, so that we got off the double-decker bus, we seemed to lose way. The streets looked busy and strangely, and we have had to ask a passer-by for help. She pointed out the right direction and wished us a good day. Thanks to the friendly woman, we finally got to our destination. It took us some effort, however we witnessed the real beauty of the city. The experience also abled us to practise our English. What a terrific experience!

The Winner’s Guide to Success

Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 1.

Be responsible for yourself.

Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you are giving away your own power. _2.

Write a plan.

It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. _3. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.

_4.

Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.

Never give up.

__5. When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.

A. A good plan is like a map to you.

B. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.

C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they didn’t work harder earlier.

D. You are saying you have more control over my life than I do.

E. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.

F. Be willing to pay the price.

G. Here are some keys to success that they give.
