题目

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. 36. A.
