Mr．Johnson had never taken planes before，but he had read a lot about air accidents．So one day when a friend（71）invitedhim to take his own small plane，Mr．Johnson was very（72）worried．Finally，his friend persuaded（說服）him that it was very（73）safe，so Mr．Johnson got into the plane．
His friend（74）startedthe engine and began to taxi（滑行）onto the runway of the airport．Mr．Johnson had ever heard the most（75）dangerouspart of a flight were taking off and the landing，so he was very afraid and closed his（76）eyes．
（77）Aftera minute or two he opened his eyes again，looked out of the（78）windowsof the plane，and said to his friend，"Look at those people down there．They look as（79）smallas ants，don't they？""Those are ants，"answered his friend，"we're（80）stillon the ground．"

13．The Benefits（益處）of Doing More than You Are Paid for
One rainy afternoon an old lady walked into a Philadelphia department store．Most of the clerks ignored（忽略）her，（41）Conly one young man asked if he could help her．She replied that she was just （42）Bfor the train to stop．He told her he wouldn't try to（43）Aher anything she didn't want．Instead he brought her（44）C．
When the rain stopped，the lady（45）Bthe young man and asked for his card．A few months passed，the owner of the store received（46）Cinviting this young man to Scotland to get orders for providing goods for a large company!The letter was（47）Athe old lady for whom the clerk had provided a chair．She happened to be owner's mother of the large company，（48）B．
When the young clerk had his bags packed for Scotland，he had already been one of the（49）Ain that department store，all because he had shown a little（50）Cto a stranger when no one else would．

12．Life is filled with regrets（遺憾）．Anyone around you will have no difficulty（60）intelling his regrets．As we get older，we look back and wish that we had made better choices．What can we do to avoid future regrets？
Make better plans
If you start to do something，you need to make a plan before doing it．The earlier，the （61）better．You'll  know what comes first and what comes last．You'll also know what you should do and what you shouldn't do．（62）Ifchanges happen，you can have more time to deal with them．
Live a more active life
You can go around more often．More outdoor activities can keep（63）yourelaxed and active．You also need to be kind．"Thank you"can bring a smile to someone's face．Learn to say"sorry"and don't be angry with others．
Find the right friend
A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well．So you （64）have/needto think twice when you choose a friend．Good friends will always better your ideas．
When you get into trouble，ask others for （65）help．That little help may get you good results．
Never fear failure
Everybody fails．Even the greatest person failed．We should not fear failure，because failure is not the （66）endof the road．We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves．
Life is good．We don't have to live in our past，but we do hope that we can plan better，（67）livebetter，and work better when we have the chance to do so．

11．The Sweetest Sight
I was in the most beautiful city in the world，yet I only wanted home．It was an amazing week for my husband and me-the trip of a lifetime．Months ago，when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London，I expressed my（21）Bto go to Europe together with him．Then we asked his mother to（22）A our two children and started off．
   During the week's time，（23）C visited London and Paris-as much as we could，Big Ben，the Louvre and so on．All these were beautiful places we expected to see before．We really enjoyed ourselves．
  On our last night in Paris，（24）Awe enjoyed the night view （夜景） of the Eiffel Tower，my husband called home．His mother（25）D the phone．In a second，my husband^face fell and he looked so worried．I could feel something（26）D happened．
"What's wrong？"I asked．
He didn't answer and continued to listen．A few minutes later，he said（27）C to me that Tony，our seven-year-old son，had fallen off his bike and（28）B his leg．He must be sent to hospital at once．
   At that moment，Paris suddenly lost its charm （魅力）．
"I don't want to be here!I shouldn't be here!I should be home（29）Bmy kids!"
   We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport…
   Finally，we got home．We rushed into our children's bedroom．Seeing our two children，I suddenly realized the truth：there is no（30）Csight （風(fēng)景） in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home．

Li Wen is a 16-year-old boy．He works hard and （71）does well in school．It is hard to believe that he used to have much （72）troub1e in school．His parents moved to the city to look for jobs．（73）so they couldn't be at home to 1ook （74）after him．From then on．he became less interested in （75）going to school and missed classes．Then his parents made a （76）decision to send him to a boarding school．He was shy and had no friends．Life there was difficult for him．One day he told his teacher he wanted to （77）leave the school．His teacher called his parents md advised them to come back and talk with their son in person．Then his parents came back and had a talk with him．This （78）communicationchanged his life．He realized that his parents would always love him and they would be （79）proud of everything good that he did．Now he is much （80）happier and more outgoing than he used to be．

9．A long time ago，there was a seed（種子）．Because he was only a seed，（36）C noticed him．So the seed thought he was not important in the world．
One day，a wind （37）Aand threw him on an open field in the sun．Later，he was given rain．Years later，another day he saw a traveller （38）B by his side．
"Thank you God for this，I can have a rest under the tree．"the traveller said．
"what are you talking about？"the seed （39）C asked．He thought the man was （40）B him．No one ever spoke to him like that．
"Who just spoke？"the shocked man asked．
"It's me．A seed．"

"Really？"
"Yes!People often sit here．（42）B do you think people come here for？To fee1your shade （樹蔭）!Don't tell me vou didn't know you had grown over time．"
The traveller's words brought him pride．The seed thought and （43）A for the first time in his life．The years of tortune （折磨） （44）C the sun and the rain finally helped him （45）A．"Oh!That means I'm not a little seed any more!I was actually born to make people feel comfortable．Wow!That's great．"

More recently，most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists．It is one of the （76）biggest events in American history．Even the date-September 11，2001-has （77）meaning to most Americans．
This was a day Peter Hunt will never forget．In May 2001，he （78）found a job in the World Trade Center．On September 11，2001，he arrived at his building at around 8：30a．m．He was about to go up when he decided to get a coffee first．He went to his favorite coffee place even though it was two （79）blocks east from his office．As he was waiting in line with other office （80）workers，he heard a loud sound．Before he could join the other people outside to see what was going on，the first plane had already hit his office building．They stared in （81）disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building．He felt lucky to be alive．
Kate Smith will never forget the date，too．Now she still （82）remembers working in her office near the two towers．"My friend Mike shouted （83）suddenly that a plane just hit the World Trade Center!I didn't believe （84）him at first．But then I looked out of the window and realized that it was （85）true．I was scared and I could hardly think clearly after that．"
September 11，2001-the date alone means something to most people in the US．

7．It is 8：30a．m．a(chǎn)t the Chengdu Research Base．Lin Wei，a panda keeper，is preparing the milk for the baby pandas'（66）breakfast（早餐）．At 9：00a．m．，she finds that most of the babies are already （67）awake（醒著的）and hungry．When the babies see Lin Wei，they run over with excitement，and some of them even （68）walk（行走）into their friends and fall over．They're so cute and lovely．Lin Wei takes care of them like they're her （69）own（自己的）babies．She washes，feeds and plays with them every day．
Pandas do not have many babies，maybe only one every two years．The babies often（70）die（死亡）from illness and do not live very long．Adult pandas spend more than 12hours a day eating about 10kilos of bamboo．Many years ago，there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China．But now pandas are in great （71）danger（危險）．People cut down many bamboo trees so they are losing their homes．There are about 1，590 （72）wild（野生的）pandas living in the forests in Sichuan，Shanxi and Gansu provinces．Another 200or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries．
It's a （73）pity（遺憾）that many people don't know that．So the government has set up an education program in Chengdu．It teaches children in cites about pandas，and tells them about the（74）importance（重要性）of saving the pandas．But teaching children is only a way to help （75）protect（保護(hù)）environment and save pandas．The Chinese government is also planting more bamboo trees so there will be more forests for pandas to live in．We all hope that in the future there will be a lot of pandas than now．

6．The Power of Determination（決心）
The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old mal stove（火爐）．A little boy had the job of coming to school early each day to start the（16）Aand warm the room before his teacher and his classmates got there．
 One morning they（17）Cto find the schoolhouse burning．They dragged（拖）the little boy out of the building more dead than alive．Then he was（18）Btaken to a nearby county hospital．
The doctor told the boy's mother that（19）Dthe lower part of his body was seriously burnt，he couldn't use his legs anymore．However，the（20）Bboy made up his mind that he would walk．Unluckily his thin legs（21）Ahung there，all but lifeless．
Finally he returned home from the（22）C．Every day his mother would press his little legs，but there was no feeling，no control．Yet his determination that he would walk was as（24）Aas ever．
When he wasn't in bed，he would sit in a wheelchair．One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air．This day，instead of sitting there，he（25）Bhimself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass，dragging his（26）Cbehind him．
He worked his way to the white fence（柵欄）around the yard．With great effort，he raised himself up on the fence．Then，he began dragging himself along the fence，（27）Athat he would walk．He started to do this every day．There was nothing he（28）Dmore than to develop life in those legs．
In the end，through his determination he did（29）C．He began to walk to school，then to run to school，to run（30）Bthe joy of running．Later in college he made the running team．
Still later in Madison Square Garden this determined young man，Dr．Glenn Cunningham，ran the world's fastest mile!
