Question

【題目】【改編】A few years ago, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”

That was all he said. “See what happens?” Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that? At that point. I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying, “Oh no! We are going to crash!’’ There were sighs of hopelessness and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.

The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.

While I do prefer planning better than “see what happens” when it comes to flying, it really isn’t such a bad idea for life.All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens. If your effort is to build a business then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will!

If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding.

If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as your think. It could be fun!

When traveling, i hope that my pilot has a more detailed plan than “we will see what happens” . But in life, it is not a bad strategy at all.

試題分析：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。講述了作者的一段親身經(jīng)歷，幾年前，我和我朋友乘坐一架飛機(jī)，等待著它的降落。此時飛行員的聲音響徹了整架飛機(jī)，他說：“女士們先生們，我為飛機(jī)的延誤感到抱歉，飛機(jī)的引擎不工作了，我們試圖發(fā)動它們。一旦我們能使它們正常工作了，我們就可以飛上云霄看看究竟發(fā)生了什么。”這就是他所說的一切，“看看發(fā)生了什么？”難道我們不能想一個比這更好的方案嗎？最終這次飛機(jī)事故化險為夷，讓作者長舒一口氣的同時，也讓作者體會到其實生活中很多事情都不可能準(zhǔn)備得特別完美，不要等到你有你需要的一切才去行動，你永遠(yuǎn)也不會！所以當(dāng)你想要做的時候，就去做吧！
