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 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(紧急情况) 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(灵活性) 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 schedule.

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

Webb signed a contract with Shenzhen Airlines because _____.

A.he was afraid of the influence of  “Sept. 11”

B.he got a better pay there than in the US

C.he thought more for his children

D.he hoped to see the beautiful sights in China

The underlined word “glider” (in Paragraph 1) refers to “___    __”.

A.a type of plane      B.a type of car

C.a type of bike         D.a type of motor

The changeable weather in the flight Webb met in China _____.

A.made him excited   B.caused him frightened

C.affected his health   D.increased his difficulty

Webb is a pilot who _____.

A.has been tired of planes’ being late

B.has never had the experience of planes’ being late

C.is trying his best to keep his flights on time

D.finds it hard to understand China’s air traffic control

Webb’s words in the last paragraph show that he _____.

A.is not satisfied with Western flight attendants

B.thinks highly of the flight attendants in China

C.encourages Chinese flight attendants to improve services

D.admires the services of Western flight attendants

If you are asked to name some national emblems of China, the dragon will probably be one of the famous images that pop into your head. We Chinese often consider ourselves "the descendants(后代)of the dragon." It is not unfamiliar to you that your parents hope that you "may become the dragon".  
  As a mythical(神秘的)creature, the dragon is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Traditionally, dragons are considered to govern rainfall. They have the power to decide where and when the rain falls. In addition, the dragon is a symbol of imperial (帝王的)power. The emperors thought they were real dragons and the sons of the heaven.   
But the creature is regarded differently in Western countries. In the Bible, dragons represent the devil(恶人). Western people usually see dragons as cold-blooded reptiles(爬虫), like snakes and cruel killers. In their eyes, dragons are also dishonest.  
  Dragons in Western literature are presented as monsters(怪物). It is a common tale for a mediaeval knight(中世纪的骑士) to kill a dragon and save a princess and her country from its evil. Even the popular boy wizard Harry Potter has to battle against a dragon.    
  However, dragons are not all bad in the West. "Puff the Magic Dragon" is a well-known song. The lyrics(歌词) tell a bitter-sweet story of the dragon Puff and his playmate Jackie Paper, a little boy. When Jackie grows up, he loses interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves Puff upset. Puff represents the innocence of a child's imagination, which is very positive for a dragon.    
【小题1】The underlined word” emblems” in the first paragraph means “_______”.

A.symbolsB.names C.placesD.parks
【小题2】What is a dragon presented as according to Western literature?
A wizard      B. A mediaeval knight  C. A princess           D. A monster
【小题3】The writer gave the example of “ Puff the Magic Dragon” to show_____.
A.dragons can represent the innocence of child’s imagination
B.children don’t like to play with dragons
C.dragons are not all bad in the West
D.not all people in the West like dragons
