nerves were making me want to give up, but I knew it would be a good fatherdaughter_33_ .After a little hesitation (猶豫), my dad started the engine. We taxied to the runway slowly. After being cleared for takeoff, we went faster. I could feel the plane shaking slowly while it was _34_from the ground. After the pilot gave some instructions, my dad was flying the plane. Suddenly, we experienced a quick fall and then the plane went up again, which made me feel as if I were on a roller coaster. The plane started to move up and down and the pilot quickly took over the control. I could see the _35_on my dad’s face. The pilot started to tell the control tower over the radio that we had hit turbulence (氣流). It was a sunny day with few clouds so I didn’t how _36_this was possible. But it was indeed very windy a few thousand feet up. I held onto my seat, trying to tell myself we were going to be OK. After a few minutes jumping up and down, the plane leveled off (在平流層飛行) and I started to breathe_37_.Finally, it was time to return. We started to go down and it seemed that we were going to _38_runway and land in trees, but somehow we landed on the ground, gradually slowing. It seemed like forever until the plane actually stopped. I was excited to _39_and it felt good to have my feet back on the ground. The smile on my dad’s face _40_h(yuǎn)ad given him the best gift. The unforgettable Father’s Day was plete with an old plane, and huge smiles on our faces.31. A. advice B. gift C. excuse D. prize32. A. nervous B. excited C. painful D. satisfied33.

He wouldn’t let the baby eagle lose his _31_ . The eagle nest (巢) was down because of last night’s storm. If Frank was still alive, he would have been out here, instead of staying inside like Sam—Josh’s stepfather (繼父). Mum and Sam tried to make Josh happy. But Josh still felt like a __32__ in his own home.A sound broke into Josh’s thoughts. It was a baby eagle, right beside his foot. He hurried home with him. After a quick look, Sam said, “He’s not __33_ . But we should return him to his parents as quickly as possible.”“I saw some wood in the yard. Could you help build a new nest?” Sam continued. Josh nodded. Together they __34__ a wooden box. Then they went to rest the box in the tree. While Sam was helping Josh with the necessary tools, he said, “I wish I could do this instead of you, but I’d probably just fall out of the tree.”Josh _35__ Sam was worried. “I’ll be okay,” he forted him. “See? I have the safety rope. Even if I miss my footing, it will hold me.” As Josh tried to put the box into place, the mother eagle swooped (俯沖) down. Josh ducked—and he started to fall. 36 , the safety rope held him. “Are you all right?” Sam shouted. “Yes,” Josh called, “send the bird up!”Finally, Josh was back with Sam, watching the eagles circle above the new nest. They started to cheer as the eagles seemed to land, but the great birds flew away at the last minute. If the eagles didn’t accept the new home, the baby eagle would be left alone after all—and their 37 was wasted. “What are they waiting for?” Josh asked unhappily.“They’re being careful.” Something in Sam’s voice made Josh look at his stepfather. “It’s not easy to __38__ change,” Sam went on. “It’s hard to trust Golden Flowers Josh thought about that. Sam could never take the place of Frank, but perhaps he could be a friend. Friends helped each other through hard times. Josh remembered how he and Sam had worked together and how 39 Sam had been for his safety.“She’s ing in,” Sam cried. The mother eagle landed beside her baby.“Yes!” Josh and Sam shouted. “We 40__ it!” As they highfived each other, Josh felt closer to Sam. Now he and the baby eagle had both e home.31.
