               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 license(执照) 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(国内的) routes in China. As an experienced pilot, he still feels the same nervousness as he felt on his first flight.

              Captain Webb said that the “Sep. 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 would have a chance to see the world and experience international living.”

              Webb has not experienced any in-flight emergencies(紧急情况) during his term in China although he said the weather here was generally more changeable than in the US. “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(灵活性) to deal with the weather in the US, he said air traffic control in China was more strict and allowed fewer deviations(偏离).

              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 time.

              “They provide really excellent service during flights. Western flight attendants(服务员) just serve passengers. But the Chinese attendants will also check on the crew to see if we need anything,” Webb said.

              Bargain(廉价购买)shopping is popular among most people throughout the world. The main reason is that people know they get the opportunity(机会)to save money. But in order to buy things at the lowest prices, you need to follow certain tips.

               Shop at the right time. It is a known fact that there are certain items that go on sale in certain months of the year. Keep an eye on such sales and visit the store only during those particular times of the year in order to receive the best offers.

              Before he sailed round the world single-handed, Francis Chichester had already surprised his friends several times. He had tried to fly round the world but failed. That was in 1931.

                 The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first solo trans-Atlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail. His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August, 1966, at the age of nearly 65, an age at which many men retire, he began his greatest voyage of his life.

                Chichester covered 14,100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone. On shore, he could not walk without help. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further. But he did not listen.

                After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more in spite of his friends’ attempt to dissuade him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round the risky Cape Horn. After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn, Chichester sent the following radio message to London:“I feel as if I had waken up from a horrible dream. Even a wild horse could not drag me down to Cape Horn and that rough Southern Ocean again.

              Just before 9 o’clock on Sunday evening 28 May, 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him. The whole voyage from England and back had covered 28,500 miles. It had taken him nine months, of which the sailing time was 226 days. He had done what he wanted to accomplish.

              (1) What is the main idea of the passage? (No more than 10 words)

              (2) What did Chichester achieve at the age of 58?(No more than 10 words)

              (3) The underlined word “dissuade” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by _______.(One word)

              (4) What did Chichester mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 4?(No more than 10 words)

                



              (5) Please explain how you are inspired by Chichester. (No more than 20 words)
