【正文】 self alone in everything C. had no trust in others‘ good faith and judgment D. had acplished a change on his viewpoint of life B As I traveled for several weeks in November, meeting with CEOs in different countries, I got to different airports. Here is what I learned as I travelled to Europe, South America and Asia before returning home to Chicago. Lines form in London’s Heathrow Airport I arrived at the new Terminal (航站樓 )5 in London‘s Heathrow Airport , which is a modern excellent building. It is filled with High Street stores and seems more like a shopping mall— like the Mall of America in Minneapolis or the Galleria in Houston—than a place to catch planes. At T5 they have perfected the art of making you stand in long, frustrating lines. After you spend twenty minutes in line getting your boarding pass scanned, you move to another long line to have your passport checked. T5 takes the art of waiting to a new level, so much so that even though I had nearly an hour to make a connecting flight（轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)） , I missed my connection and spent the next three hours in an airport waiting hall. Heathrow views itself as a gateway to the world. But you‘d better not be in a hurry to pass through it. T5 reflects the old days of British globalization – the 1800s– when it took at least 80 days to get around the world. Nonstop to Brazil Sao Paulo‘s Guarulhos International Airport, one of three in the city and Brazil‘s busiest, has 260 checkin counters, operates around the clock, and struggles to keep up with demand. It has few passengers waiting halls and relatively little shopping. It‘s difficult to connect to the Inter. Plans call for two additional terminals, a third runway, and an express train into the city. In such a developing country, Guarulhos keeps running faster, but it hasn‘t yet caught up. New Delhi Smoke Firsttime visitors arriving at New Delhi‘s Indira Gandhi International Airport would be concerned about the smell that enters the aircraft as the plane is slowing down on the runway. It‘s caused by what Delhi weather forecasters call ―smoke‖. When you enter the terminal, you sense the overcrowded India. It seems like all billion people are trying to get through Customs with you. Heathrow has its queues。 Ww It happened when I was in the sixth grade. One day, our teacher assigned ―secret buddies（伙伴） ‖ for the ing week. The 21 of the assignment was to leave nice gifts for your buddies without letting them know who was doing it . 22 the middle of the week, it seemed that everyone had got cool gifts from their buddies, everyone 23 me. I had been wondering 24 was up with whoever was my buddy. On the last morning of our assignment, when I walked into my classroom, something on my desk 25 my eye. As I came closer, I found there sat a can of perfumed powder. ―Oh, my God, it‘s an old lady gift that I had received!‖ I thought to myself. 26 , the powder had already been opened. I felt my face turn red as I said 27 , ― What could my buddy be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift ? My grandmother 28 even want it.‖ Hearing my screams, several girls 29 around me and started talking trash about my secret buddy for giving it to me. Just then, the shyest girl in our class stood up and said, ―I‘m your secret buddy. I‘m sorry about the gift.‖ Then she ran out of the classroom with tears streaming _ 30 her face. My secret buddy was a girl named Rochelle, a girl from a poor family. She was usually the 31 at school for those who felt they were better just because their parents had money. Yet through all the teasing, Rochelle never had a bad word to say back and just 32 the horrible treatment silently. I was ill to my stomach as my cruel words 33 my mind. How could I have been so mean? It took me a few days, 34 I finally found the 35 to face up to Rochelle and apologize. She told me her family couldn‘t 36 a nice gift and finally her mother had given up her only luxury so that Rochelle would have something to give. Rochelle couldn‘t 37 to get to school that morning and put it on my desk. And I had 38 everything for her. Up until then, I had tried to avoid the ―Rochelles‖ of the world. But after that day, I began to show 39 and admiration for people like Rochelle — people who 40 from the heart. 21. A. plan B. purpose C. meaning D. result 22. A. In B. At C. By D.
