We have no 12 on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 13 the engines with it. We will 14 in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to 15 !” There were sighs of 16 and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 17 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 18 there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 19 , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time.”There was crying 20 we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 21 was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 22 happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 23 for still being alive.Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 24 “see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 25 with inaction just because they don’t have 26 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 27 thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens.If you are planning to learn a new skil l, “get up in the air, and see what happens!” It might not be as 28 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very 29 ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 30 of guaranteed success.11．A. Hopefully B. Excitedly C.

I was sent to some of the city's worst neighborhoods to t ry to sell subscriptions by showing the paper doortodoor. Eve n though I was often scrambling (moving with difficulty) aroun d after dark in bad areas searching for tatty (简陋的) apartments, I was grateful for the work.It was a challenge because people didn't like a stranger knock ing on their door, especially a kid trying to get them to buy so mething. One time, a man slammed his door in my face and s creamed, “I don't want the damn paper.” I forced myself to knock again and was able to tell him how great the paper was. I ended up selling him a subscription. I was soon among the to p subscription sellers and like other successful salesmen, was given responsibility for training newcomers.Around this time, I started playing the guitar. Before long I wa s playing in a band at chill cooking competitions and other eve nts. When I turned 18, I focused my attention on becoming a professional musician. I never lost sight of this dream. I'm sur e my perseverance(毅力) came from what I learned knocking on strangers' doors. That experience helped me in many ways. Early in my music career I was locked in a legal dispute with a former manager. He pressured me to back off from the job, but I refused. Having all those doors slammed in my face as a kid gave me t he strength to stand up to this intimidating (令人生畏的) figure. Except this time there was one difference: I was the one saying no.

Fortune had 30 minutes to try them both out.

Available Oct.24, the iPad mini 3 is more portable thanks to its 7.9-inch size, but there’s very little new here besides the addition of Touch ID. And yes, the iPad Mini 3 offers more storage on model priced $499 and over, but again, the iPad Air 2 does th at, too.In fact, the iPad mini 3 is largely similar to last year’s mode l down to the size, processor and camera, so much so that ha ndling the device gave me déjà vu(似曾相识).

No one is quite sure exactly who first thought it up, but th e most widely-accepted story is that it came from the dorms of Nanjing Univ ersity in 1993 when four single male students got together to discuss how to break free of the loneliness of single life.Why could such a holiday go from local to national in less t han two decades? It likely has a lot to do with ’s culture. The c ountry has a serious sex gap and there’s heavy family pressur e on many young Chinese men and women to find a suitable partner and marry young, so young people of both sexes cele brated the holiday as a kind of release. Singles Day was abou t being with friends and having fun before, but now, it is about shopping – mostly online shopping. How did an underground youth holiday go corporate? The short answer is Alibaba.By the late 2000s, there might have been some small shop s online and offline offering sales on that day earlier, but no m ajor company bought into the holiday until Alibaba launched it s first Singles Day online sale in 2009. 2010 changed things. Alibaba went bigger, offering more brands and deeper discou nts and other companies had noticed the potential of the 2009sales bonanza and decided to follow suit. Over the next few y ears, Alibaba, JD, and other Chinese electronic commerce pla yers all expanded their one-day discounts, and sales grew rapidly.About the company’s plans for Singles Day, Tmall CEO Wa ng Yulei said that Alibaba’s“core keyword” this year is globali zation, and want consumers to be able to buy products from a ll over the world. Amazon , too, is making moves towards taki ng the holiday global. Even JD is looking at the international market in the long run. Of course, there’s still a long way to go before Singles Day is a truly global phenomenon, and it may never get there. But the commercial aspects of the holiday ar e already big enough to be of interest to the global Chinese di aspora, and where it spreads from there is anyone’s guess.66. The first paragraph is mainly about ____________?A. the origin of Singles DayB. the date of Singles D ayC. the celebration of Singles DayD. the popularity of Singl es Day67.
