It was June 15, and in two days I would be turning thirty. 1 was insecure about entering a new decade of my life and feared that my best years were now behind me.

My daily routine included going to the gym for a workout before going to work. Every morning I would see my friend Nicholas at the gym. He was seventy - nine years old and in terrific shape. As I greeted Nicholas on this particular day, he noticed I wasn't full of my usual vitality and asked if there was anything wrong. I told him I was feeling anxious about turning thirty. I wondered how I would look back on my life once 1 reached Nicholas's age, so I asked him, “What was the best time of your life?”

Without hesitation, Nicholas replied, Well, Joe, this is my philosophical answer to your philosophical question:

"When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me and I was nurtured by my parents that was the best time of my life."

"When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best time of my life."

"When I got my first job and had responsibilities and got paid for my efforts, which was the best time of my life."

"When I met my wife and fell in love, which was the best time of my life."

"The Second World War came, and my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives. When we were together and safe on a ship bound for North America, which was the best time of my life. "

"When we came to Canada and started a family, which was the best time of my life."

"When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life."

"And now, Joe, 1 am seventy - nine years old. I have my health, l feel good and I am in love with my wife just as I was when we first met. This is the best time of my life."

A few years ago, a pilot had to have perfect eyesight and a college degree if he or she wanted to land a job with an American airline. But today, airlines have waived（宣布放弃） those requirements because they can’t find enough qualified pilots.

Airlines must hire up to 6200 new pilots in the next decade. But qualified pilots are few and far between in the United States. Every year there are more planes being flown. At the same time, 12 to 15 foreign countries are recruiting （招聘）American pilots.

As a result, pilots are earning spectacular salaries. The going rate for skilled pilots is well over $ 90,000 a year. Some pilots can earn about $ 160,000 plus free housing working for foreign airlines.

Because of the shortage, some people say unqualified pilots are being allowed to fly planes. They fear the number of crashed will skyrocket. Each year, more and more pilots with less than 2,000 hours of experience are being hired. Airlines are also bringing on board many more pilots who are older than 50, although law requires pilots to retire at age 60.

Being an airline pilot is a difficult job that requires people to make life and death decisions under pressure. Some pilots crack under the pressure.

The military is also having a hard time keeping pilots. Air Force pilots must commit to spending at least six years in the Air Force. The Air force invests millions of dollars to train each pilot, so it doesn’t want to lose them.

Experts say this problem is going to get a lot worse. Congress may establish a commission to study the country’s pilot needs. In the meantime, salaries of pilots will continue to rise and the number of crashes may keep pace.

49. The main idea of the article is ____________

a shortage of pilots is caused by airlines and the military.

there have been more crashes because pilots have worse eyesight and higher salaries

a shortage of pilots may lead to more crashes

airlines should hire more pilots even if they’re unqualified.

50. Today a pilot no longer needs __________

perfect eyesight

military training

two college degrees

to be recruited

51. Most pilots earn ___________

less than $ 90,000

more than $ 90,000

about $ 160,000 or free housing

about $ 160,000 and free housing

52. Air Force pilots should stay in the Air Force because ___________

the Air Force is a good place to work

the Air Force pays more than airlines

the military should have a hard time keeping pilots
