Though air travel might sound as the most convenient way for winter travel, it also has its own shortcomings. The season of cold sometimes interrupts your travel plans. 36 We bring to you tips to keep in mind if you are air travelling in winters.
Early flights are on time
Early morning flights have been found to be more on time than the ones later in the day. 37 Any delay in the flight schedule during the day leads to a series of delay, the best way to avoid it is to fly early. 38 Partner airlines can help you in times of delayed flights. Some airlines work in association with its partner airlines. In case your flight gets cancelled or delayed you can ask for a seat in the partner airline, provided that your airline supports it. Join a club
39 When your flight gets delayed for hours you can access those clubs in the airport rather than being stuck in the terminal. Also, accessing to different travel agents is easier from the clubs as they assist you with various options available. Consider a travel agent
At times when you are stuck with situations where your flight is delayed or cancelled, instead of dealing directly with the airline staff, it is best to lay the responsibility on your travel agent. 40 A. Remember to phone bravely B. Partner airlines can help
C. A member of a club is the best choice for most flyers on the whole D. Flights get cancelled or delayed beyond what you have to deal with
E. Though you would have to wake up very early, yet it would rid you of a lot of troubles.
F. Your travel agent will act on your behalf and solve the issues so you needn’t solve the issues yourself. G. Joining a club will surely make you pay some money, but if you are a frequent flyer, it is the best choice for you

Always Changing
Jack is leaving, and I’m feeling kind of sad.
You probably don’t know Jack, but you might be lucky enough to 41 someone just like him. He’s been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining 42 professional skills with a sweet and gentle nature.
And now he’s moving on to an exciting new professional 43 . It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime, and we’re 44 for him. But that doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to him.

Life has a way of throwing these curve(曲线) balls 45 us. Just when we start to get comfortable with a person, a place or a situation, something comes along to 46 the recipe. Our ability to cope with change 47 to a great degree, our peace, happiness and contentment in life. But how do we do that? A friend of mine is fond of reminding us that “survivability depends upon 48 .” And then there’s Chris , who once told me that the answer to life’s problems can be 49 in four words: “Go with the flow.” I'm not exactly sure, but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of 50 —both good and bad. No matter how excellent your skill, there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no 51 . The truly successful person expects the unexpected, and is prepared to 52 adjustments if the need should arise—as it almost 53 does. That doesn’t mean you don’t keep trying to make all your 54 come true. It just means that when things come up that aren’t 55 in your plan, you work around them—and then you move on. “Change, indeed, is painful, 56 ever needful,” said philosopher Thomas Carlyle. “And if memory has its force and worth, so also has 57 .” We’re going to miss Jack. But rather than stay on the 58 of our parting, we’ll focus on our hopes for a brighter future—for him, and for us. And then we’ll go out and 59 everything we can to make that future happen. 60 our plans change—again. 41. A. know B. greet 42. A. good

One possible version: Dear David,
Last week we held an enthusiastic discussion on what we should do for our school before we graduate. The students in our class have various practical suggestions.
Firstly, we’ve agreed to do something meaningful, such as collecting money to purchase some books for the school library, for it needs more science fictions. Secondly, we feel like doing some voluntary work such as planting trees and flowers in and around our schoolyard. It could be an excellent choice for us to beautify our environment. Finally, we have to be determined to study hard to get better results in the coming exams and make greater progress so that our school may feel very proud of us.
For my part, I hold the idea that we’ll do what we can to contribute ourselves to our school in our spare time and set a good example to our fellows.
Looking forward to you reply. Best wishes.
Yours friendly, Li Ming
