A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. 31 , before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice t hroughout the plane, “sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 32 on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 33 the engines with it. We will 34 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 35 ！” There were sighs of desperation and 36 spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 37 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 38 there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 39 , so we are. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”
There was crying 40 we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But, the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 41 was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 42 happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 43 for still being alive.
Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 44 “see what happens”, which really isn’t such a bad life strategy, all too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 45 with inaction just because they don’t have46 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 47 thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what hap-pens.
If you are planning to learn a new skill, get up in the air, and see what happens! It might not be as 48 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought. It could be 49 ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 50 of guaran-teed success.

18. A flock of hungry pigeons were flying across the sky in search of food. Having traveled a long distance, they felt tired and settled down on a tree. Just below the tree, they saw grains strewn (撒满) all over the ground. The pigeons were happy to have found enough food to eat. All the pigeons came down from the tree and started eating the grains. As they were doing so, a huge net fell on them and trapped them all.
The pigeons were taken aback. They noticed a hunter sitting at a distance from the tree, a bow and arrow in hand. The pigeons realized it was the hunter who had trapped them in the net. The hunter got up and began to move towards the pigeons.
The leader of the pigeons spoke, “Friends, we are in great trouble. The hunter will catch us if we do not act swiftly in a few seconds. There is only one option available at this moment. Let all of us use our force together and fly up along with the net. If all of us use our force and fly together, we can fly carrying the net along with us. Let us start now.”
All the pigeons agreed with him and flew high carrying the net along with them. After traveling enough distance away from the hunter, the pigeons settled on a tree and carefully came out of the net one by one and thus escaped the evil design of the hunter.

19. Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates (估计) more than 48 billions text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation’s emergency alter system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warning and alert alters through cell phone and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers —telecommunication companies —is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alter from the president, likely involving a terrorists attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats,” which co uld include
natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架)emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
61. What is the purpose of the approval plan?
A. To warn people of emergencies via message.
B. To popularize the use of cell phone.
C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.
D. To promote the wireless industry.
62. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ______.
A. CTLA.
B. the Warning Alert and Response Network
C. FCC
D. federal regulators
63. The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by _______.
A. the US federal government
B. mobile phone users
C. the carriers themselves
D. the law of the United States
64. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?
A．They must accept the alert service.
B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.
C. They must send the alerts to others.
D. They may choose the types of messages.
65. An alert message will NOT be sent if __________.
