阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从31～50各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中）选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. 31 , before we took off, we heard the pilot’s voice throughout the plane, “sor ry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 32 on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 33 the engines with it. We will 34 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 35 ！” There were sighs of desperation and 36 spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn’t even 37 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 38 there. T hen the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 39 , so we are. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”
There was crying 40 we had walked into grave. But, the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 41 was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 42 happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 43 for still being alive.
Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 44 “see what happens”, which really isn’t such a bad life strategy, all too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 45 with inaction just because they don’t have 46 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 47 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 48 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought. It could be 49 ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 50 of guaranteed success.

A
The owner of an Alabama Chinese restaurant named “Good Friend” shot at a customer who complained about a fly in her eggroll Thursday night. The bullet narrowly missed 20-year-old Birmingham resident Jatari Walker who told the Daily News she is scarred by the entire experience.
“I can’t sleep,” she said Saturday afternoon. “And since it happened I’ve had no appetite.”
Walker ordered a combination platter（大浅盘）and eggroll from the Good Friend Chinese and Seafood Restaurant on Dennison Ave. Thursday evening. After paying her $7 bill she went back to her car and discovered a fly inside. “I thought I need to take this back,” she said.
The customer went back and asked for a repayment and said the owner Chun HinChing, 52, was unhappy with her because she announced her discovery in front of other customers. After an argument he repaid the money and Walker —who is now a former frequent customer of the business — turned and walked to the exit.
That’s when Ching drew a handgun and fired a single shot over her head.
“He just shot the gun at me and I ran,” she said, adding she could feel the bullet whiz past her head.
Birmingham Police Department spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards told the News the owner was charged with attempted murder and was transported to Jefferson County Jail on $100,000 bail（保释金）.
Police believe Ching intended to hit Walker with the bullet and missed, Edwards said. The bullet hit the top of the door frame of the take-out business.
Ching did not tell police why he fired at Walker, Edwards said.
Edwards said he did not recall any previous problems at the business. He said Ching did not say why he had a weapon but added it was not uncommon for stores in that neighborhood.
“No one was injured from the gunshot”, Edwards said.

D. Because she found the owner charged her too much.

In December 2008, Caroline Kennedy —daughter of the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy—sat down, as a frontrunner for the Senate seat in New York, for a televised interview that helped decide the future of her campaign. The result was a disaster.
Her performance wasn’t wel l received, in part because her speech was full of filler words—“ums,” “ahs” and “you knows.” One listener counted 27 “ums” and 38 “you knows” in the space of five minutes. A few weeks after the interview, Kennedy ended her Senate campaign.
Filler words may seem natural in everyday speech, but they can be deadly in formal presentations. “Using excessive fillers is the most annoying speech habit,” said Susan Ward, a speech specialist. “They take your listener’s attention away often to the point that he doesn’t hear anything you say. Your message is entirely lost.”
Many speakers are afraid of pause. They believe their audience will think they are inarticulate (不善于表达) if they pause to think of what to say next, so they use filler words to avoid the silence. However, a pause is actually more impressive than a filler word. Listeners know that the speaker is thinking, trying to find the right word. Sometimes a pause can actually improve a speech, as when an actor uses a dramatic pause to hold the attention of his audience. A speaker shouldn’t be afraid to pause occasionally during a speech; it shows self-confidence.
It takes some work to cut out filler words. You can begin by taking a few seconds to think about what you want to say the next time you are asked a question. This pause will help you begin powerfully, and it will help you avoid using a filler word.
The same public speaking technique applies when you are shifting from one idea to another. While you may be tempted to fill the silence between ideas with a filler word, remember to allow yourself to pause and think about what you want to say next.
If you need help overcoming your “um” problem, consider asking a family member or a friend to point out when you use filler words. You also could record an upcoming presentation and then watch yourself in action. You may be amazed at how often you say “um” or “uh”!
Although we live in a fast-paced society that seemingly demands instant answers, we must use the pause to our advantage. Finally, we should only speak when we are ready.
55. In the first two paragraphs of the article the writer intends to ______.
A. introduce Caroline Kennedy to readers
B. illustrate how deadly filler words can be in the public speech
C. explain what filler words are
D. remind readers that they should count filler words used in public speeches
56. The reason why filler words are considered annoying by speech specialist is that ______.
A. they prevent the listener from focusing on what the speaker is saying.
B. they convey the speaker’s superiority to the listener.
C. they mean the speaker is not articulate at all.
D. they make the speaker appear self-confident.
57. When used properly, pauses in speeches can actually ______.
A. give the speaker more credibility
B. hold the attention of the audience
C. show the speaker’s deep insight
D. help the audience relax
58. Which of the following is NOT suggested as a way to get rid of filler words?
A. To have mental training in order to think faster.
B. To ask someone else to point out when you use filler words.
C. To watch a recording of your own speech.
D. To practice thinking for a moment before answering a question.
