China’s very first airplane restaurant recently opened in Wuhan, China. Named “Lilly Airways”, the restaurant is located in the cabin area of an old Boeing 737 passenger airplane.

Businessman Li Liang acquired the aircraft from Indonesian airline Batavia Air, but then he had to go through six mouths of exhausting custom(海关)procedures in order to get the aircraft into China.” Demounting(拆卸), port, shipping, business license, trade declaration…All these procedures were never done by anybody before, which means I had to go through them one by one,” Li said. He added that the Boeing 737 passenger airplane had to be disassembled a total of eight times in its four-month journey from Indonesia to Wuhan, China.

Getting the plane split into parts that then had to be packed in around 70 containers and shipped many times apparently cost the businessman a great 3 million yuan. Add that to the 5 million yuan, he paid for the plane itself and you have one of the most expensive restaurants in the world.

After finally setting up the airplane restaurant on the Optics Valley Pedestrian Street, one of the busiest shopping areas of Wuhan, Li is ready to welcome curious diners and airplane enthusiasts. The restaurant is located in the cabin area of the airplane, and the cockpit(驾驶舱)has been changed into a flying simulator(模拟器)where people will be able to experience what it’s like to fly a passenger airplane.

Li said that a dinner at Lilly Airways is priced between 200 to 300 yuan per person, while the cockpit flying simulation will charge a flight enthusiast 300 to 400 yuan per hour. Li expects that it will be a while before this place turns a profit.

13.Pisco is a city on the Peruvian coast,the home of Peruvian grape liquor(酒) Pisco has not only given its name to Peru's national drink,but it is also the centre of its production.
Pisco has its origins in the 16th-century Spanish conquests(征服) of Latin America and particularly Peru and Chile.There the settlers found fertile land suitable for growing grapes.These vineyards(葡萄园) were so successful that soon the settlers were exporting crops back to Europe.
At first,grapes not suitable for making wines were distilled(蒸馏,提取) into a drink,and it soon became popular with sailors who began taking bottles with them back to Europe.They named it after the town where it was bought,Pisco,which in turn had been used to name the round pot that was used to store the liquor.
In the 19th century Pisco became a popular drink with the miners who flooded to San Francisco during the Gold Rush,and in the 1940s it again became a fashionable drink in New York and Hollywood.Production gradually spread from Peru to Chile.
However,Pisco is also the topic of heated arguments between Peru and Chile,both of which claim to have invented it.They may fight bitterly over who first distilled the drink,but the rules and regulations they have placed on its production have ensured that only top quality Pisco hits the liquor store shelves.
Nowadays,Pisco is produced using both ancient and modern techniques and can be enjoyed in its pure form or used to prepare various cocktails,such as the well-known"Pisco Sour".This is served in the best restaurants in Latin America and throughout the world.It can also be mixed with other liqueurs,fruit juice or soft drinks.The main markets for Pisco are currently the United States,Chile,Costa Rica,Venezuela and Canada.

45.It can be learned from the passage that Pisco refers to the following exceptB.
A.a city  B.a sailor  C.a pot  D.a drink

Ways to Stop Worrying

A little worrying now and then can be self-protective.1. But too much worrying can lead to many problems, such as reduced concentration, poor sleeping habits and the inability to handle everyday difficulties. What’s more, it may also cause physical health problems, such as high blood pressure.

Here are some tips to help you lighten up and enjoy life more.

1. Note down your worries

Writing in a worry journal helps create some distance between you and your concerns. Write down your thoughts briefly every day, perhaps the first thing in the morning, before you start your regular routine.2.

2. Pack away your worries

3. Imagine tucking (塞) away your anxieties in a small box and closing the lid (盖子). Set aside some time each day to open the box and examine your worries, but otherwise, keep it closed.

3. Share your worries with a friend

Don’t be embarrassed.4. Then, he or she may give you some practical suggestions. Telling someone your fears helps lift the burden of worry and gives your friends a chance to offer comforting thoughts.

4.5.

Select a quiet spot in your home where you can focus on your worries without being interrupted (打扰). Stay there every day for 10 to 20 minutes. Make sure you maintain a strict time limit and try to avoid worrying except when you’re in your designated (指定的) “worry space”.

A. Create a personal worry space.

B. See worries from a different perspective.

C. Talk to your friend about your worries.

D. If journal writing isn’t for you, create a “worry box” in your mind.

E. Spend about 15 minutes just writing and reflecting on what is bothering you.

F. Check with your local health centre about programs to stop worrying in your area.

G. Without anxiety you probably wouldn’t lock your door at night or schedule your regular check-up.

Your house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
