Dear Xiaohua:

I’m very glad to receive your letter. From your letter, I know you have shown 48 great interest in inventing new things. That’s great. As for how to be an inventor, there is no quick answer to 49 .

Coming from different cultures and having different backgrounds, inventors do not seem to have much 50 common. But creative thinking, 51 is greatly valued, is perhaps the basic skill an inventor should have. In order to explore new possibilities, you will have to learn to break 52 from old thought patterns. When you get stuck, try to look at the problem in 53 many ways as possible. Each new 54 may improve your understanding.

More importantly, always keep it in your mind 55 success is no accident. It is the result of a long process of trial and error. Above all, the main task for you is to study hard and try to learn more knowledge. This, of course, will lay a solid foundation.

Hope your future invention will make a difference.

Good luck.

Yours,

Wang Li

PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or un¬finished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked with A、B、C and D, Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

A

Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil(零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne(升空的).

● Fly on non-stop routes

Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.

● Choose larger aircraft.

Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply(遵守)with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.

● Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing

The information may seem repetitious(重复的), but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you’ve flown before, it doesn’t mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.

● Store things safely

Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence(气流).
