Cloze Test
A
Wow! What a surprise! I thought as the airplane rose suddenly into the air without my
1
instructor. I was flying alone for the first time in my life. I had
2
two years for this day. At that time, the
3
of those who said I would never learn to fly seemed so far away.
I had a disability that made learning
4
. But I loved to fly. I believed I
5
learn. I began flying lessons at the age of 14. At that time it was
6
that a person be 16
7
he made his first solo(单独的) flight. So I had to wait two long years before I could fly a plane
8
. I used that time to master the basic
9
of flying. I practiced straight and level flying, climbs and descents, and coordinated turns(降落和协调转弯). It wasn’t always easy, and many times I would come home feeling
10
and thinking maybe everyone was right—I would
11
learn to fly. But by the next day, I was always
12
to try again.
As I
13
higher and higher, everything on the ground became miniatures(缩微模型). Houses, cars, and trees all looked like
14
toys. The sky was blue and the view was incredible. That day was my 16th birthday, and I made three
15
takeoffs and landings. It was one of the happiest days of my life.
Today, 40 years later, I am still
16
. I have flown single- and twin-engine airplanes, jets, biplanes, and seaplanes. Now I
17
other people how to fly. As a flight instructor, I stand alongside runways
18
as my own students take to the sky on their first solo flights.
I understand the
19
on their faces as they emerge from the plane. Seeing them always brings me back to that day. I learn that no matter how many people tell you that you can’t do something, if you
20
yourself, you can soar(高飞).

B
Always believe in yourself no matter what happens. This is a law of life that is
1
for everyone. I think that if people want to live a happy life, they must believe in and accept themselves. You
2
realize how easier your life becomes until you have confidence. You are likely to finish the work you
3
if you say, “I can do this!”
I have already
4
believing in myself many times in my life. When I was nine I began
5
piano lessons. I struggled with a little assignment such as completing a piece on the piano. I remember that I got very
6
at that time because I had to play a song at a recital(演奏会) which was
7
soon. I had a piece that I needed to
8
. Coming home with a feeling of
9
and poor attitude, I just knew I could not finish this
10
. I sat at my piano and told myself that I would never get it finished. I couldn’t help
11
. My mother found my tears and came to
12
me. She said, “Whatever you do you should say ‘I can’. Only
13
you believe you can is nothing so difficult for you.” Mother’s
14
is an important life lesson for me. I did end up finishing the piece and the recital went
15
. The important point is that you can
16
anything you want to if you believe yourself and try your best.
Now, when I become frustrated in realizing the goal in life, I never
17
or think about that I can’t do it. Always beginning with a
18
attitude, I sit down and tell myself that I can realize my goal
19
I put my mind to it. I realize that I should have this attitude towards everything I do. Believe that you can finish anything you put your mind and

to.
