My husband is a born shopper(天生的購物者). He loves to look at things and to touch them. He likes to compare prices between the same items(產(chǎn)品) in different shops. He would never think of buying anything without looking around in several different shops. On the other hand, I’m not a shopper. I think shopping is boring and unpleasant. If I like something and I have enough money to take it, I buy it at once. I never look around for a good price or a better deal. Of course my husband and I never go shopping together. Doing shopping together would be too painful for both of us. When it comes to shopping, we go our different ways.

Sometimes I ask my son Jimmy to buy some food in the shop not far from our home. But he is always absent-minded(心不在焉). This was his story.

One day I said to him, “I hope you won’t forget what I have told you to buy.” “No,” said Jimmy, “I won’t forget. You want three oranges, six eggs and a pound of meat.”

He went running down the street to the shop. As he ran, he said to himself over and over again. “ Three oranges, six eggs and a pound of meat.”

In the beginning he remembered everything but he stopped several times. Once he saw two men fighting outside a clothes shop until a policeman stopped them. One of them was badly hurt. Then he stopped to give ten cents to a beggar. Then he met some of his friends and he played with them for a while. When he reached the shop, he had forgotten everything except six eggs.

As he walked home, his face became sadder and sadder. When he saw me he said, “ I’ m sorry, mum. I have forgotten to buy oranges and the meat, I only remembered to buy six eggs, but I’ve dropped three of them.”

American pilot Frank Webb first flew a glider at the age of 14, made his first flight alone on his 16th birthday and got his commercial pilot’s license(執(zhí)照)on his 18th birthday.

After serving in the US Navy for 20 years, being a Boeing flight instructor, and working with Alaska Airlines for more than three years, Webb signed a contract with Shenzhen Airlines last May to captain domestic routes in China. As an experienced pilot, he still feels the same nervousness as he felt on his first fight.

Captain Webb said that the “Sept. 11” incident did not have a direct influence on his decision to move to China to work. “Safety is in fact tighter in the United States and I am not worried about a terrorist attack,” he said. “The main reason I came to China was that my children will have a chance to see the world and experience international living.”

　　Webb has not experienced any in-flight emergencies(緊急情況) during his term in China although he said the weather here was generally more changeable than in the United States. “The weather changes tend to be great from north to south. We may be flying in a snow storm in Harbin, and then later that same day we may be flying through a tropical rain shower approaching Shenzhen,” Webb said.

While Webb had more flexibility(靈活性) to deal with the weather in the United States, he said air traffic control in China was more strict and allowed fewer deviations(偏離).

Speaking of planes often being late in China, Webb said that in America, being late was one of the few things that would get him in trouble. “In China, on the other hand, it seems there are many things that can get you in trouble with the boss, but being late is not one of them.” Webb does everything in his power to keep his flights on schedule.

“They provide really excellent service during flights. Western flight attendants just serve passengers. But the Chinese attendants will also check on the crew（機組人員）to see if we need anything,” Webb said.

Webb signed a contract with Shenzhen Airlines because _____.

A．he was afraid of the influence of  “Sept. 11”

B．he got a better pay there than in the US

C．he thought more for his children

D．he hoped to see the beautiful sights in China

The underlined word “glider” (in Paragraph 1) refers to “___    __”.

A．a(chǎn) type of plane      B．a(chǎn) type of car

C．a(chǎn) type of bike         D．a(chǎn) type of motor

The changeable weather in the flight Webb met in China _____.

A．made him excited   B．caused him frightened

C．a(chǎn)ffected his health   D．increased his difficulty

Webb is a pilot who _____.

A．has been tired of planes’ being late

B．has never had the experience of planes’ being late

C．is trying his best to keep his flights on time

D．finds it hard to understand China’s air traffic control

Webb’s words in the last paragraph show that he _____.

A．is not satisfied with Western flight attendants

B．thinks highly of the flight attendants in China

C．encourages Chinese flight attendants to improve services

D．a(chǎn)dmires the services of Western flight attendants
