認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文,并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容回答問(wèn)題。
American pilot Frank Webb first flew a glider at the age of 14, made his first flight alone on his.16th birthday and got his commercial pilot's licensee (執(zhí)照)on his 18th birthday.
After serving in the US Navy for 20 years, being a Boeing flight instructor, and working with Alaska Airlines for more than three years, Webb signed a contract with Shenzhen Airlines last May to captain domestic routes in China.As an experienced pilot, he still feels the same nervousness as he felt on his first fight.
Captain Webb said that the "Sept.11" incident did not have a direct influence on his decision to move to China to work."Safety is in fact tighter in the United States and I am not worried about a terrorist attack," he said."The main reason I came to China was that my children will have a chance to see the world and experience international living."
Webb has not experienced any in-flight emergencies(緊急情況) during his term in China although he said the weather here was generally more changeable than in the United States."The weather changes tend to be great from north to south.We may be flying in a snow storm in Harbin, and then later that same day we may be flying through a tropical rain shower approaching Shenzhen," Webb said.
While Webb had more flexibility(靈活性) to deal with the weather in the United States, he said air traffic control in China was more strict and allowed fewer deviations(偏離).
Speaking of planes often being late in China, Webb said that in America, being late was one of the few things that would get him in trouble."In China, on the other hand, it seems there are many things that can get you in trouble with the boss, but being late is not one of them." Webb does everything in his power to keep his flights on schedule.
"They provide really excellent service during flights.Western flight attendants just serve passengers.But the Chinese attendants will also check on the crew to see if we need anything," Webb said.

小題2:What is "glider " (in Paragraph 1)? (no more than 5 words)
小題3:What in the flight Webb met in China increased his difficulty? (no more than 5 words)
小題4:Is Webb's flight often late? Why? (no more than 20 words)

Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making foods of ourselves.   66  .
But stop biting your finger-mails. Public speaking is easy. It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m basically shy (honest!). I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. And I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent._ 67  . Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas.One or two.Not tenor 20.  68 .And if you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, there's no way your audience will.  69  —how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to close.
When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first.___70___.A strong close is critical; the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.
The standard length of a vaudeville act is usually 12 minutes.If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn't go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?
A.Some people are born to be good at making speech
B.Anybody who can talk can speak in public
C.Try to relax yourself before making the speech
D.The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become
E.It you can't express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough
F.When you know where you're headed, you can choose any route to get there
G.No matter how long or short your speech is, you've got to get your ducks in a row
