Mike has loved flying since he was small. When he was three years old, his dad took him to an air show. Mike loved the sounds of the plane and he   31  of becoming an airplane pilot(飞行员) some day. As Mike grew up, he learned as   32   as he could about flying. He wanted to go to flying school  33  university. He kept on 34   his parents about it all the time. At that time, pilot training was very   35  . Mike’s parents couldn’t afford it.

Later Mike became a salesman. He hoped to get lots of money for flying school. He traveled  36  America for his factory. He liked to travel,    37    by plane. To save money, he usually stayed in cheap hotels.

One morning, Mike   38   to Atlanta. On the plane, after breakfast, he went to   39  . Some time later, he woke up. The two men beside him were talking in a   40  voice. When Mike heard the word “hijack(劫持)”, he nearly  41  out of his seat, but he pretended(假装) he was still   42  . He listened when the two men talked. Mike quickly learned what was                  43  . They planned to hijack the plane to Cuba. This made Mike very   44  . He knew he had to stop them before they began their    45   .

Mike pretended to use the washroom. On the way he met a hostess(空姐) and told her about the coming   46  . A moment later, the passengers were told that there was something wrong with the plane. Soon the plane landed at the    47   airport.

All kids need to be motivated to learn while some kids have to be tricked into learning.

I taught kids in high school for the past ten years. The first couple of years, I 36 as if I was knocking my head 37 a wall. Nobody cared about learning and a lot of anger was 38 .When I left school,I found my car with flat tires. I was still 39 not to give up. The next week, my car was 40 with eggs that would not come off. This type of behavior was common and 41 .

Then one day, I decided to motivate the kids. I made a 42 that if everyone in the class 43 the semester with an 80% or better, I would 44 them to egg my car all they wanted to one day. If the class 45 a 90% or better, they could cut its tires 46 they turned into rubber bands. The kids took the 47 and left my car alone for the whole semester. They studied hard and helped each other to learn.

The last day came, and to my excitement, every student 48 above 90% for the semester. Then the kids 49 out twelve boxes of extra large eggs. Ten minutes later, the car was 50 trapped in eggs. The tires looked like rubber bands !

I thought it was 51 . The kids learned, and I only had my car 52 twice a year. I have made this bet for the past ten years with no 53 and 100% success. The moral of the story is that you must find what motivates the students at all 54 . I still drive my Camaro, and I was never able to fully clean the eggs off. It’s a 55 of their success!
