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 (合同) 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 when we get close to 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 to see if we need anything,” Webb said.21. 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 China22. The underlined word “glider” (in Paragraph 1) refers to “_”. A. a type of plane B. a type of car C. a type of bike D. a type of motor23. The changeable weather in the flight Webb met in China _.

As she drifted in and out of consciousness (知覺(jué)), she heard her daughter, Gabriella, calmly telling the operator her mothers name and address.Gabriella even followed the operators instructions and placed a wet washcloth on her mothers head and fetched her a drink.When the ambulance arrived at the house in Bournemouth, Dorset, the girl carried her stool to the front door but could not reach the handle. She went back to her mother and helped to pull her up that she could let the paramedics (醫(yī)務(wù)輔助人員) in.Lisa White, an ambulance technician for the South Western ambulance service, said: “Gabriella was fantastic. She was so calm and just said that mummy needed help as she was feeling poorly. Normally children get very upset when their parents are ill, but she coped very well. When we arrived, Gabriella was at the door with the phone in her hand and was saying, I helped mummy.”Ms Imbrenea said she had managed to dial 999. “But I just couldnt talk because I was hyperventilating.“All I can remember next is hearing Gabriella tell the operator my name. She told them my address and kept telling them I was awake.“I was so lucky to have her there as she completely took control even though she is so young. Afterwards she didnt seem at all fazed about it.”Ms Imbrenea, who recovered after being treated for a severe panic attack, added: “I have never spoken to Gabriella about what to do in an emergency, but she was so calm. Perhaps she will grow up to be a nurse.” 29. Why do you think Gabriella carried a stool to the front door? A. She wanted to play on it. B. She wanted her mother to sit on it. C.

In the early 1910s, Mr. Hatfield traveled to many places bringing rain to farms and cities that suffered from drought. For 30 years, people considered him the greatest rainmaker in North America.One of Mr. Hatfields most amazing rainmaking accomplishments happened in southern California in 1916. Mr. Hatfield offered to give the city of San Diego a hand with its water problem. He planned to create enough rain to fill the lake behind Morena Dam near the city. Since the time the dam was built, the lake had never been more than half full, but the lake could hold 15 billion gallons of water if it were full. Filling the lake would help the city of San Diego with its constant water problems. Mr. Hatfield suggested that if he succeeded in filling the lake with rainwater, the city would pay h
