Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil(零), many of these rules concern what you should and shouldn’t do to make your journey safer when you are in the air.

●Fly on non-stop routes

Most accidents occur during the take off, climb, descent and landing period of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complicated procedures.

●Choose larger aircraft

Although small aircrafts have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply(遵守 )with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.

●Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing(简报)

The information may seem to be repeated, but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you have flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.

●Store things safely

Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during the violent movements of air caused by the wind.

●Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated

Cabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You could be seriously injured if the plane hits the violent movement of air unexpectedly. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.

●Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks

Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.

1.What is the general reason for these air safety rules?

A. What to do in the event of a crash.

B. How to avoid sudden change.

C. How to improve safety while you are flying.

D. How to avoid injury.

2.The underlined phrase "The general rule" in the fifth refers to .

A. anything the flight staff tell you to do

B. general safety advice

C. walking around the plane

D. pouring hot drinks

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.

B. Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landing.

C. Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.

D. Seat belts should be worn to protect against sudden change.

4.The best title should be .

A. The safest way to travel B. Air safety tips

C. Non-stop Routes D. How to take a plane

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.

On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.

He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.

“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.

When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.

That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!

1.Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?

A. Because the roof of the cottage was falling.

B. Because the cottage was in bad condition.

C. Because he was used to living abroad.

D. Because there was no furniture in it.

2.When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because __________.

A. it was completely dark inside

B. there was too much dust in the air

C. something strange blinded them

D. it was too bright inside

3.The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because __________.

A. he did not miss the exciting stories

B. he spent more time with his uncle

C. he had a lucky escape

D. he saw a strange sight

4.Which of the following can best describe the writer’s uncle?

A. Adventurous and good at storytelling.

B. Humorous and good at making jokes.

C. Dependable and generous with money

D. Considerate and sensitive to danger.

Visitors to the grounds of New College at England’s Oxford University pass under an iron gate with the advice: Manners make the man. Even after an appropriate update to: Manners make the person, it’s thought-provoking(引人深思的)—especially to today’s Americans.

When we think about what makes the person—it’s more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?

We do know that these would make life nicer, if more tolerable. However, we forget or overlook our manners. So , it seems, does everyone else—including, unluckily, our children.

As a university president, one of my great joys is to visit our campuses and see our students, though we’re separated by different generations, interests, and, of course dressing, each student tells me something within the first few minutes that we meet: whether he or she has been taught manners. I sense this in different ways: through her words or her gestures, in the way she listens or how he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets and says goodbye, how he responds when an elderly person enters the room.

In the absence of manners, however, I make some allowances. For instance, the many ethnic(种族的)groups that students represent often have different explanations of what makes up good manners. In other cases, some students may reject what they’ve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students. Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that there’s some hope for reviving and good manners.

Good manners don’t just guarantee acceptance. Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society. Good manners are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another person in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance.

1.Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to people today?

A. Handsome income. B. An academic degree.

C. High ranks in the office D. Polite behavior.

2.What does the underlined part “make some allowances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean ?

A. treat the absence of manners differently

B. reject the absence of manners

C. oppose bad manners somehow

D. partly permit being in the absence of manners

3.Which of the following is the benefit by good manners?

A. Good manners makes people thoughtful

B. Good manners help deeper connections with others

C. Good manners guarantee acceptance of ourselves

D. Good manners inspire people to care about one another

"How to Let Co of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change" is the latest movie from film-maker and climate activist Josh Fox.The movie is the third film in a three-part series about climate change.

In the new film,Fox travels through a sunless forest in the Amazon with local activists to measure oil spills.He goes to a village in Ecuador to learn how people there stopped a pipeline from being built.He joins young people in Australia to stop boats from entering the port of Newcastle.

"You should probably know the downside of what we're about to do.This is the short list: drowning,being arrested: being run over by boats,drifting away in currents out into the Pacific Ocean,cultural disrespect,big waves."

Also in the film,Fox talks to Ella Zhou,an energy expert.She explained the importance of what she calls "moral imagination"."I think that it forces us to get out of our box of thinking about,for instance,what is being successful.It allows us to have a moral value about what you want as a person.What do you want to do for the world and for yourself?"
