22、 A few years ago, my younger sister and I were the first to board our flight for Norfolk, Virginia. Just as we were about to board the plane, a mechanic came out of the aircraft and blocked the door with his arms. He turned to the flight attendant and hurriedly stated, “We got problems!”
I thought to myself, “Why did I have to be the one to hear that? Why couldn’t I have been at the back of the line? I didn’t need to know that!” Very soon we were back in the terminal, waiting, and then finally back on the plane. I waited for the pilot to give an explanation. Pilots take courses to ease passengers’ mind, right? They know what to say to calm nerves.
Unfortunately, I didn’t think this pilot took that course. Soon his voice thundered throughout the plane. “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. We had no power on the plane. We have a generator on the ground right now, and we’re going to jump—start the engine. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens.”
See what happens? We were going to get up in the air, and see what happens? Couldn’t we have another plan, one that’s been worked out just a little better?
At this point, all I could do was to laugh nervously. One woman started yelling, “Oh no! We’re going to crash!” There were sighs of desperation and anxiety spreading throughout the cabin. Finally, we got up in the air thirty minutes later, and what happened? Nothing—other than thrust(推力) and lift. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched the ground than a round of applause burst out, as everyone throughout the airplane breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Although, I did sincerely like to have a plan better than “see what happens” worked out when flying—it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. Success will never be guaranteed. The best thing you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens. Sometimes adjustments would be made in the air, or shall we say, in the middle of the process.
【1】The purpose of the text is to _______.
A. introduce a frightening flight experience
B. prove that taking a plane is dangerous
C. show a way of making plans
D. tell readers a life strategy
【2】What event was beyond the author’s expectation?
A. The mechanic explained the problems to the passengers.
B. The pilot said nothing to calm the passengers.
C. The passengers arrived in Norfolk safely.
D. The flight was delayed for half an hour.
【3】Having known the problems, many passengers _______.
A. complained about the mechanic’s carelessness
B. stood up and started yelling
C. waited calmly for the problems to be solved
D. felt hopeless and anxious
【4】Which opinion would the author most probably hold?
A. To ensure success, don’t get started before you’ve got everything ready
B. To avoid repeating failure, give yourself all the reasons why you can’t.
C. To set up a business, don’t wait until you have everything you need.
D. To achieve success, try to prepare for the worst.
23、Living with Joy
Living with joy can sometimes be a challenge. When things appear to be going against our will, we tend to experience pain, suffering, or a bad day.
【1】 And instead of viewing bad things as causes of getting upset, try to view them as lessons of helping you grow. Too many times, we think that the outer world is creating our day, causing us to be sad or unhappy. 【2】 We create our day, the circumstances for joyous living.
【3】 This internal happiness spreads outward through every cell of our bodies and creates the outer experience of a smile, or laugh. Then we can see and choose our feelings, desires, goals and dreams. 【4】
We create the reality where we experience joy, anger, love, and fear. Because we have the free will to choose our reality, we can make that conscious choice happier. 【5】 The reason is that we have to have the internal feeling of happiness to create that happiness in our daily lives then.
So, start changing your negatives into positives, gain clarity(清晰), and open your heart by looking inside yourself. When we start changing ourselves from inside out, the universe will respond to us.
A．Thus these situations will disappear.
B．However, it’s the opposite that is true.
C．Besides, we’re in control of our feelings.
D．In order to be happy, we need “be happy” inside.
E．These further enable us to show an outer reality based on our true selves.
F．This happiness though will never come if you are looking outside of yourself first.
G．One thing that we all need to acquire is the ability to see all situations, people and events from a positive perspective.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The family had just moved to Rhode Island, and the young woman was feeling a little sad on that Sunday in May. After all, it was Mother's Day—and 800 miles separated her from her parents in Ohio.
She had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy Mother's Day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. As they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs (紫丁香) hanging on the big bush outside her parents' back door.
Later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. “I know where we can find you all you want,” he said. “Get the kids and come on.” So off they went, driving on the country roads of northern Rhode Island. Eventually, he stopped the car.
“Come with me,” he said. “Over that hill is an old cellar hole, and there are lilacs all around it. Go pick a few.”
There, on the top of the hill, were the towering lilacs bushes. While the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman had been cheered up, drifting among the lilacs. Carefully, she picked some out. She was in no hurry, admiring each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure.
Finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. When they were almost home, she suddenly shouted to her husband: “Stop the car. Stop right here!”
In a second, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. At the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors, walking with relatives or sitting on the porch (走廊).
