Listening and Speaking
Ⅰ Listen to the passage and tick the correct answers.
When James was a little boy, he liked to play outdoors. He liked to skate in winter, and fly kites in summer. James thought the kites were interesting and beautiful. One day, James told his father, “When I grow up, I want to fly like a kite.” “Maybe you can be a pilot,” his father said.
James thought that was a good idea, but he had a big problem. He had a fear of heights! But James wanted to be a pilot no matter what. He asked a doctor for help, and the doctor gave him some advice.“If you want to be a pilot, you need to practice climbing. You might be scared now, but if you practice every day, you will get used to it.”
James worked hard to overcome his fear of heights. Later, he became a pilot. Now, he flies higher than birds, kites and clouds every day.
