　　(2018·东北三省三校第一次联考)

　　A few years ago,my younger sister and I were the first ones to board our flight for Norfolk,Virginia.Just as we were about to board the plane,a mechanic rushed from inside the aircraft and hurriedly stated,"We got problems!"

　　I thought to myself,"Why did I have to be the one to hear that?I didn't need to know that!" Very soon we were back in the terminal,waiting,and then finally back on the plane.I waited for the pilot to give an explanation.Pilots take courses to ease passengers' mind,right?

　　Soon the pilot's voice boomed,"Sorry for the delay,ladies and gentlemen.We had no power on the plane.We have a generator (发电机) on the ground right now,and we are going to restart the engines.Once we get them going,we will get up in the air and head to Norfolk,and see what happens."

　　That was all he said.See what happens?We are going to get up in the air,and see what happens?Couldn't we have another plan?

　　Thirty minutes passed and we were still sitting there.Then the voice of the pilot came over the intercom again,"Ladies and gentlemen,we only have one engine going right now,and it is working double times."

　　There were moans (呻吟) as if we had all boarded a ship of death,seated in a coffin.Finally,we got up in the air,and what happened?Nothing-other than push and lift.On landing in Norfolk,everyone applauded,breathing a sigh of relief.

　　Although I do sincerely like to have a plan better than "see what happens" worked out when flying,it really isn't such a bad life strategy (策略).All too often,I would see people chasing their goals pause,frozen without action just because they don't have all the necessary pieces or guaranteed results when in reality,they will never have all the pieces.

　　If your effort is to build a business,if your mission is to start a friendship,if your goal is to learn a new skill,"Get up in the air,and see what happens!"

　　When traveling,I still hope my pilot has a more detailed plan than "We will see what happens." Although in life,it isn't such a bad strategy,after all.
