He hated the guy hed become. Without a clue as to how to solve the huge problems that tormented(使痛苦) him, he decided he would begin to change his life by coping with a single problem.Seth had always been afraid of heights. Sitting on a bar stool practically gave him vertigo(眩晕). So he decided to go skydiving. Thats how he found himself wearing a blue jumpsuit, sitting on the floor of a little plane. “This is the stupidest idea I have ever had. I cant do this. I should just go home”, he thought. If he hadnt been fastened to the instructor, he would have called it quits.When the door slid open and it was time to act, Seth froze. “The $275 is for the ride up. The ride down is free,” the instructor said. “If you are going to do this, now is the time.”He was scared to death. But with the wind blowing all around him, he wondered, “What would I be going home to? The only thing waiting for me at home is a job I dont want to go to on Monday morning. Do I really want to be that guy anymore? The guy who let fear and regret rule my life?”So he closed his eyes, adjusted his goggles, and slowly moved to the edge of the open plane door. He didnt leap like a hero. He just leaned in to the open sky to the chance that something might shift in his life and let gravity do the best. And with that tiny action, he stopped being the guy who was too scared to handle a risk, who never did anything interesting, who let his failures define him. He became someone else, someone whose life wasnt over but was just beginning.Leaning in to that open sky changed his life forever. That is what leaning in is all about: taking the small action that will let your momentum（动力）take over and carry you forward.21. Seth decided to go skydiving in order to _.A. cater for his wifeB. challenge himselfC. prove he was braveD. make money22. From the passage we learn that the instructor _.A. lost patience with SethB. persuaded Seth to give upC. encouraged Seth to jumpD. asked Seth to pay him $ 27523. The fourth paragraph is developed by describing Seths _.A. strugglingB. curiosityC. disappointmentD. worrying24. What can we learn from the passage?A. Keeping a positive attitude is necessary in ones life.B. Everyone should bravely face difficulties in their life.C. Encouraging words can make a difference.D. One little choice can change ones life.BZoos Victoria Friends of the Zoos MembershipNew cheaper family membership prices are available now!The Victorian Government has announced free admission for children under 16 years of age to all three of our Zoos Victoria properties on weekends, Victorian public holidays and Victorian Government school holidays from July 1.We are very excited about the changes and are delighted this will make memberships even more affordable for Victorian families.

Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person.

After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television work.
