I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew （工作人员）. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying.After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I had a sombre feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.Being the first airline to take me abroad, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general，for me，has always been a terrible and painful experienceFlying on Lufthansa，however, is something I always have and always will look forward to. 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的父亲父亲经常讲其在加拿大居住和欧洲旅行的经历，这激发了作者希望走出国门看看的强烈欲望。本篇短文给我们讲述了他第一次去欧洲的难忘旅行。36.

Dave Murbach needs 11 months.Almost every day of every year, Murbachs thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyones breath away. Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattans Rockefeller Center each Christmas season. “Im always looking for a tree,” the centers chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer. It s like a homework assignment hanging over your head.” And if he gets it wrong, theres nothing hiding it. “Every day its up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says. This years tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield, Ohio, flown to New York on the worlds largest cargo plane, was lighted on December 2. The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York a tradition dating back to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments (装饰品). The search for the next years tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs. Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves dense (密集的) enough not to see through. Thats not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. And branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced. Back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.”Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “Its for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. Thats what I hope it sets off.” But Murbach says hes always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.【文章大意】本文叙述了Murbach对于工作的认真的态度，他为了曼哈顿的洛克菲勒中心展览的常青树，他花费了11个月的时间来寻找。他想要每一个人都对他的选择满意。41.
