Reporting has taken me to many strange places. The oddest i s the National Airborne Operations Centre, the plane that carri es American defense secretaries around the globe. Over the years the plane ---
- or to be precise, planes, as the US Air Force runs four of the
m, each nearly identical ----
has carried me to more than a dozen countries as a member of the small travelling press corporation that accompanies the civilian head of the Pentagon overseas.
Add together the flights I have taken on the E4-
B, some as long as 19 hours, and I have spent weeks of my lif e aboard, most of which in the windowless conference room u sed to house the press, fitted with banks of computers and se cure telephones that millitary officers and political leaders wou ld use in the event of a war. Most of the aircraft is off-
limits to us, though on long trips the press may be invited to th e secretary’s cabin to listen to those off-the-record talks.
The strangest part of flying aboard the E4-B is mid-
air refueling, made necessary by the plane’s great weight, tha nks to its unusual equipment and special shield to protect it fr om the electromagnetic pulse produced by a nuclear explosio n. During an aerial refueling, up to four oil tankers fly in from A merican air bases around the world.
To watch a refueling from my seat is to witness a fine metaph or for an ageing superpower .Putting jet fuel into a 40-year-old jumbo jet(大型喷气式客
机) high in the sky is a risky, highly skilled operation beyond t he capacities of most nations on earth. It is also wildly expens
ive. With a
crew of dozens, including its own security force, the plane is r eputed to cost $250,000 an hour to run. A military cargo plane follows it to each stop round the globe, as an emergency spa re.

A. For most of time, there is no restriction on the author.
B. The conference room is equipped with some necessary eq uipment.
C. Every flight the author has taken takes a long time.
D. Information should be recorded in all the conferences.
27. What does the underlined word “spare” mean?
A. Store.
B. Alternative.
C. Rescue.
D. Facility.
28. According to the last paragraph, the author thinks the plan

A. risky
B. expensive
C. skilled
D. old

pencils and many other things.
But collecting things is not the only hobby people have. Some people are fond of travelling or gardening. Very many boys a nd girls are fond of sport and that is their hobby. My aunt's ho bby is taking pictures and my mother is fond of music. If you h ave one，what is your hobby?

When I was a little girl，my mom would say，
“Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.”__36_ _Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our j oys，comfort us in our hard moments，
and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I've always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enric
h our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said，“__37__”
To be a good friend or partner，
it's important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or m ate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defe nsive.__38__When they hear their words repeated back to the m，
it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly wha t they meant to say.
__39__You know the old golden rule，
“Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.”The support of a friend during a tough time could make the dif ference between success and failure. Encouragement and co nfidence are the gifts that can help change a person's life. Take care，though，
with whom you choose to have close relationship，
for they can have a great effect on yourself—
respect and life path. As someone once told me，
“__40__They will either take you up or down.”
A．I am afraid so.
B．It is quite true.
C．Friendship is the most important factor.
D．Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror.
E．A friend is a present which you give yourself.
F．The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift. G．Patience，
sympathy and understanding are also important qualities.
