第二节　完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. 36 , before we took off, we heard the pilot’s voice throughout the plane, “sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 37 on the plane. We have a generator (发电机) on the ground right now, and we are going to 38 the engines with it. Once we get them going, we will 39 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 40 !” There were sighs of desperation and 41 spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn’t even 42 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 43 there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again, “Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are   44, so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”

There was crying 45 we had walked into grave. But, the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 46 was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and what happened? ---47 other than thrust (推力) and lift. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 48 for still being alive.

Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 49 “see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people chasing their goals halt (停滞) 50 with inaction just because they don’t have 51 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 52_thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what hap­pens.

If you are planning to learn a new skill, get up in the air, and see what happens! It might not be as 53 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought. It could be 54 ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 55 of guaran­teed success.
