My parents 2 to say that they were leading me to have a 3 work ethic(职业道德). Not until last week did I see the 4 I was on a bus, and behind was a man who was 5 to his friend about his life. His dream was to become a director but he wouldnt continue to 6 it because he had no 7 if he could make enough money. And he didnt want to waste 8 because it probably would take months or years to 9 it big. Then he admitted to thinking about becoming a(n) 10 because he thought he could 11 make six figures within one year. His friend agreed because as he put it, “I have no 12 to work long hours and not make much money. Taking pictures is good because you can make big money and only work short hours.”Many people these days dont 13 that when things seem to happen immediately, it is only because a lot of 14 , determination and time have gone into it.

(40 points)Text 1 While staring out of the window during a flight, not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded windows rather than square ones.Over the years, aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The planes have also changed shape to increase safetyincluding the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their costthe air density(密度) is lower up there, creating less drag(阻力) for airplanes. However, higher altitudes came with problems, like the fact human beings cant really survive at 30，000 feet. To make that possible, the cabin was changed to a cylindrical(圆柱体) shape to support the pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de_Havilland_Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. With a closed cabin, it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft.However, where theres a corner, theres a weak spot. Windows, having four corners, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stresssuch as air pressure. By curving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation(变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.Fortunately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick. Now we have nice, rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35，000 feet a whole new outlook, doesnt it?1、Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes?ATo save money for less drag.BTo help the plane to take off.CTo increase safety of the pl
