It is important to build confidence in whatever we try to do. Let's just say that cooking has not _36_ been my thing. Many of my friends know that I _37_ a lot of meals. When we invited people over they wanted to know if I would be near the kitchen before they would _38_.

After one brutal batch of chili, I decided to put some _39_ into learning how to cook. I began visiting cooking websites but was discouraged by their lack of pictures and felt _40_.I borrowed a cook book from the library but didn't have any of the food _41_ to make what they were suggesting.

_ 42 _, I did something that most would think is common sense. I started to read and follow the _43_ that most foods provide on the package. Who knew that they would be _44_? I never would have improved my cooking skills without trying to get better. Now as much as I would like to say from that point on everything went _ 45_. Just like learning anything it took a lot of _46 _.

At first I undercooked the baked chicken. Then I _47_ the chicken. Finally, after three attempts, it was edible (可吃的) but I forgot to season（调味） it _48 _. Once I made it through those cooking _49_, I can now bake chicken with the best of them.

After I _50_ chicken I was on to my next dish, spaghetti. I followed the ways to cook the noodles and got them just right. I added the meat and sauce blend to the noodles and was _51 by how watery everything came out. Oops, I forgot to _52 _ the noodles. Spaghetti only took_53_ tries to get it right. My trial and error helped me start building confidence.

When it comes to building confidence there is a(n) _54_ that one should follow. Building confidence in life is just like cooking. You have to take the time to learn the_55_before you become successful at it.

57. We can learn from the passage that ________.

D. a student should apply for a relevant exit endorsement from CAO

B

One of the biggest variables when flying is the company that you’re forced to keep. Whether you're in economy or business, aisle or window, there will almost always be someone sitting next to you – and if that person is particularly odoriferous(有气味的), anxious or loud, your experience could suddenly be changed.

But with recent upgrades(飞机座位提级) allowing noise-conscious passengers to choose a seat away from children, having at least one type of less-than-desirable seatmate could soon be a thing of the past.

Last week, Scoot airlines, the budget branch of Singapore Airlines, announced that seats in child-free areas, nick-named the ―ScootinSilence‖ rows, can now be booked for a small fee. In addition to extra leg room and a better seat pitch, you are also liberated from having to sit with children 12 and under.

―Just as there are some people who prefer to travel without checked baggage, or to sleep rather than eat… there are some who would rather travel with adults. We’re simply providing the option to do so,‖ said Scoot Airlines CEO Campbell Wilson.

In September 2012, AirAsia X launched a similar service in their premium economy cabin, and Malaysian Airlines has a similar policy on the upper-deck economy cabin of its A380 jumbo jet, which it flies on select long-haul routes.

The trend seems to be catching on quickly in Asia, perhaps because culturally the region consider the wealthier business savvy class more important and is eager to please rich customers.

But could child-free zones spread around the world? Not necessarily.

―I don't think that we'll ever see child-free zones on US carriers, any more than we'll see the return of smoking zones. In the politically correct United States, it would be considered discriminatory to exclude passengers with kids from certain cabin sections,‖ said George Hobica, founder ofAirfarewatchdog.com. ―But in Asia, where it's legal to 'retire' flight attendants when they reach the ripe old age of 35, a different sensibility applies.‖

The issue that Western airlines will need to consider is the strong consumer voice, which could create a significant and harmful image problem for the carriers. In Asia, that community is not as loud ,and they don’t protest much. Disturbing the consumer base and any potential discrimination litigation(诉讼) that would follow may create risks that Western carriers aren’t willing to take.
