A
Last year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”
That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying: “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.
The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.
All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens.
If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will.
If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”,get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new
skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!

B
It was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.
My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone?
I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.
No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.
It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’ than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.
Do you have nomophobia ?
• You never turn your phone off
• You obsessively (着魔地) check for texts, missed calls and emails
• You always take your phone to the bathroom with you
• You never let the batte ry run out
It's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions(订购；订阅) would outnumber(数量上压倒) people across the world by the end of 2014.
And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?
So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.
Not having it with me felt strangely liberating(自由). Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.
5. What does the passage talk about ?
A. The history of mobiles.
B. The story of meeting an old university friend.
C. The addiction of playing mobile phone.
D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.
6. The underlined phrase “on edge”in the third paragraph probably means_______.
A. nervous
B. energetic
C. crazy
D. surprised
7. Which word is used to describe old mobile phones according to the passage?
A. digital phone
B. cell phone
C. bricks
D. smart phone
8. According to the passage who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?
A. A successful manager
B. A 21-year-old girl
C. A 21-year-old boy
D. A lonely middle-aged person
C
When people introduce themselves, I always hear them say "I'm just a housewife".
I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self - pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home？
How could you be "just a housewife" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don't think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer — the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.
It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?
Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them
accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes "I am a housewife". Kick that "just" out.
9. How do people feel when they say "I'm just a housewife"？
A. Satisfied．
B. Proud．
C. Regretful．
D. Anxious．
10. Listing the housewife's duties，the author implies a housewife______________．
A. usually leads a terrible life
B. plays a more important role
C. does not always get her reward
D. makes a great contribution to the family
11. If a housewife worked outside，she would______________．
A. have the same life like before
B. set a comfortable home for her family
C. absorb her family's stress
D. lose the content that she is enjoying
12. What does the author advice housewives to do when they introduce themselves?
A. Take care not make a mistake.
B. Pick up self-confidence and pride.
C. Understand the significance of their jobs.
D. Try to make others understand their life.
