1. (2022六上·龙岗期末) 根据短文内容，选择正确的答案

Last Sunday was my 11th birthday. My parents bought a hot air balloon ride for my birthday. Early in the morning we went to the beach. Pilot Dan met us there. Then we got into the basket and started the ride.

The weather was very good. The sun shone brightly. There wasn't much wind. We stayed up in the air for an hour. During the ride, we looked down at the blue ocean. It was beautiful. We also saw beaches, boats, buildings and hills. The landing (着陆) was the best part. Pilot Dan put us down slowly in the middle of a big square.

My mother was nervous when we started our ride. Pilot Dan told us a joke (笑话). It made my mum laugh. And the hot air balloon flew smoothly in the sky. My mum began to enjoy the ride. Everyone had a wonderful time!
