(2019·全国Ⅱ卷,C)

Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself,quietly

reading her e-book as she waits for her salad.What is she reading?None of your

business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time.And like more Americans,she’s not alone.

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America.More than half

(53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by

themselves.Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,74 percent,according to

statistics from the report.

“I prefer to go out and be out.Alone,but together,you know?” Bechtel said,looking

up from her book.Bechtel,who works in downtown West Palm Beach,has lunch with

coworkers sometimes,but like many of us,too often works through lunch at her desk.A

lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder.She returns

to work feeling energized.“Today,I just wanted some time to myself,” she said.

Just two seats over,Andrew Mazoleny,a local videographer,is finishing his lunch at

the bar.He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper

with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流).“I

reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said.“It’s a

chance for self-reflection.You return to work recharged and with a plan.”

That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone.There was a

time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one,but those days

are over.Now,we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table.“It doesn’t feel

as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie

Demeritt,whose company provided the statistics for the report.

Flying High

Barrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational non-profit-

making organization.His message for kids:“The only thing that separates you from

scientists is determination,hard work and a strong liking for what you want to achieve.”

The secret,he believes,is having a dream in the first place,and that starts with learning

experiences that inspire kids to build careers.

The moment of inspiration for Irving came at the age of 15 in his parents’

bookstore.One customer,a professional pilot,asked Irving if he’d thought about

becoming a pilot.“I told him I didn’t think I was smart enough;but the next day he took

me to the cockpit(驾驶舱) of the commercial airplane he flew,and just like that I was

hooked.”

To follow his dream,Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University of

Florida.He washed airplanes to earn money for a flight school and increased his flying

skills by practising at home on a $40 flight simulator(模拟器) video game.Then another

dream took hold:flying alone around the world.He faced more than 50 rejections for

sponsorship before convincing some companies to donate aircraft components.He took

off with no weather radar,no de-icing system,and just $30 in his pocket.“I like to do

things people say I can’t do.”

After 97 days,26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms,he touched down to a cheering

crowd in Miami.“It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that

pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.” Irving has been doing

it ever since.He set up his non-profit-making organization,Experience Aviation(航

空),aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers.Kids

attend programmes dealing with hands-on robotics projects and flight simulator

challenges.

“We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing,” he

notes.Perhaps Irving’s most powerful educational tool is the example his own life

provides.After landing his record-breaking flight at age 23,he said,“Everyone told me I

was so young that I didn’t have enough experience,strength,or knowledge.They told me

it would take forever and I’d never come home.Well...guess what?”

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 Barrington Irving 学习飞行、独自一

人飞越全球并成立公益组织传播飞行知识及经验的故事。

1.According to Irving,what is the most important in achieving success?

A.Meeting people who provide unexpected help.

B.Getting a chance to study technical knowledge.

C.Having something specific that you want to accomplish.

D.Developing communication with different organizations.

答案:C

解析:推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“The secret,he believes,is having a

dream in the first place,and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to

build careers.”可知,Irving 认为最重要的是首先要有梦想,也就是首先你要有自己迫

切想要完成的具体事情。

2.What Irving replied to the pilot in the bookstore suggested that 　　　.

A.he felt embarrassed to refuse the offer

B.he was doubtful about his own abilities

C.he knew his efforts would be rewarded

答案:B
