Later, the voice of the announcer said, “We are so _3 that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The storm is 4 us.”Then the storm broke. The noise of 5 could be heard even above the sound of the engines. Lightening 6 the darkening skies, and one moment the airplane was lifted; the next, it 7 as if it were about to crash.As I looked around the 8 , I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying. The future seemed 9 and many were wondering if they would 10 it through the storm. Then, I suddenly saw a little girl. Apparently the storm meant 11 to her. She had folded her legs beneath her 12 she sat on her seat; she was reading a book and everything within her small world was 13 and orderly.

Along with the traditional Easter walk or outing, the giving of Easter eggs and，more recently，of Easter presents is a main feature of the feast. Parents give their children “Easter eggs”colored and boiled eggs, chocolate eggs, marzipan (杏仁) eggsEaster bunnies, sweets, and other gifts. In some German regions, children virtually “collect” Easter eggs from their relatives, especially their godparents.Usually, the Easter eggs are carefully hidden in the garden or in the house and the children must search for them on the morning of Easter Sunday. They are told that the Easter bunny has brought them. This anonymous (匿名的), mysterious bunny is like Santa Claus at Christmas. But it is less of an “educational” figure than Santa Claus is, since the eggs are not given to children as rewards for being good. Modern society claims that all men have the same rights and obligations. The customs relating to gifts have changed accordingly. Easter eggs have lost their original color of charity, and have become “surprise gifts”. Presents are now exchanged between individuals who want to surprise their friends or relatives and make them happy.1.

It developed from the British game of rugby and, although it is played in no other country in the world (except Canada), it excites tremendous enthusiasm.American football has a reputation for being a brutal and dangerous game. This reputation is not really deserved. The players hurl (用力投掷) themselves at each other fiercely, but today their uniforms and helmets are so skillfully padded that there are few serious injuries. By comparison, the rugby player is almost naked, having only thin jersey (毛织运动衫) and a pair of shorts to protect him from his opponents boots and tackling. The Americans are addicted to crazes. When they take something up, they do so wholeheartedly, and often the rest of the world follows their lead. Jogging is an example of this. The Americans now have another craze, a game which most other countries call “football,” but which they call soccer. Soccer is spreading like wildfire through all the States and gaining in popularity on baseball. It is being run by big businesses and TV advertisers, who are doing everything they can to sell it to the public. They are employing famous fashion designers to design novel uniforms for the players. They have introduced a musical background to the games, and there is a big screen in the stadium which explains to spectators what is happening. Most importantly, they have hired, at enormous expense, famous coaches and players from Europe and South America. Soccer is being brilliantly promoted, like any other promising American product. 6.

They have no capability and could do nothing that helps change the situation. Sometimes what they said may make things even worse. However, people can have great power over what happens around if they stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation, which is always the winners key to success. Winners are good at overcoming problems and taking responsibilities. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont just depend on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how other people fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop themselves. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success. 11.

Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum（课程） activities where they either learn a musical instrument（乐器） or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children's skills vary; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence（自信）.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice （多项选择）tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction（满意） and confidence.An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse his interest. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but rather they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.TitleHow Chinese Parents Should (76) _ Their ChildrenCommon practicel Being (77) _ with money when it comes to education.l Sending them to the best schools or 78) _ .l Taking extra-curriculum activities so as to (79) _ a head startin life.l Spending more money than they can (80) _ on education.Bad resultsChildren's lacking in self-respect and self-confidenceSuggested (81) _l Teaching their children practical skills, which are of the greatest (82) _.l Cooking.l (83)_.l Other housework.l Mending a broken radio or TV.(84) _ resultsl To make the children hardworking and confident.l To enable them to (85) _ and to use their minds.五书面表达 假如你是李卫，想应聘，请根据上述要点写一封100字左右的求职信。参考词语 ask for the job operate a computer 某进出口公司在报上登了一则广告，想招聘一名秘书，其条件如下：年龄不超过28周岁，未婚；男性身高1.72米以上，女性身高1.60米以上；身体健康；大学毕业，会两门外国语者优先(但必须懂英文)；能进行计算机操作。Keys:I. 15 BBCDB 610 CBACD 2025 ACBBBII. 15 ADBCA 610 DCDCB 2025 AACBD 2530 BCDAB III.
