We had just finished thirteen miles of hiking in the snowy mountains. We were tired and our muscles 21 as we made our way back to New England.

When I heard that two seats in first class on our next flight were 22 for a small upgrade fee, I jumped at the 23 . We agreed to pay the fee to 24 our tickets. Our spirits lifted immediately. At least we would 25 our adventure in comfort and style.

Our travel has always been arranged on a budget, 26 flying first class was a new 27 for us. As we 28 the plane, we felt as if we were part of an elite（精英）group. We took our seats and were happy to 29 the other few passengers who could fly in such luxury.

As we chatted away about hiking, waterfalls and bears, I could 30 people around us talking about busy schedules and business meetings. It wasn’t long 31 I realized that these people were 32 to flying in luxury. “They are important people,” I thought to myself.

We 33 that the stewardess(空姐) was working nonstop to ensure the comfort of the first class passengers. She could not walk by a seat without receiving an 34 .

As the stewardess walked by our 35 , I looked at her and said, “Thank you and I hope you have a great night.” She stopped at our seats with a look of 36 on her face, bent down, looked at me and said, “Excuse me?” I repeated my words and she smiled in a rather 37 way, almost as if I had asked her a question that she did not know how to answer.

“You are the only passenger here to say thank you or say something 38 to me tonight and I really appreciate your kindness.”

The 39 of belonging to an elite group of people in first class disappeared as we heard her words. Our seats in luxury offered us more than a comfortable ride. We were 40 that, without kindness, we would be flying in no class.

An experimental solar-powered plane landed safely Thursday after completing its first 24-hour test flight, proving that the aircraft can collect enough energy from the sun during the day to stay aloft(在空中) all night.

Pilot Andre Borschberg eased the Solar Impulse onto the runway at Payerne airfield about 30 miles southwest of the Swiss capital Bern at exactly 9 a.m. (3 a.m. EDT) Thursday. Helpers rushed to stabilize the pioneering plane as it touched down, ensuring that its massive 207-foot wingspan didn't scrape the ground and topple(倾倒) the craft.

The record feat(壮举) completes seven years of planning and brings the Swiss-led project one step closer to its goal of circling the globe using only energy from the sun. ‘We achieved more than we wanted. Everybody is extremely happy,’ Borschberg told reporters after landing.

Previous flights included a brief ‘flea hop’ and a longer airborne test earlier this year, but this week's attempt was described as a ‘milestone’ by the team. The team said it had now demonstrated that the single-seat plane can theoretically stay in the air indefinitely, recharging its depleted batteries using 12,000 solar cells and nothing but the rays of the sun during the day. But while the team said this proves that emissions-free air travel is possible, it doesn't see solar technology replacing conventional jet propulsion(喷气推进) any time soon. Instead, the project's overarching purpose is to test and promote new energy-efficient technologies.

Project co-founder Bertrand Piccard, himself a record-breaking balloonist, said many people had been skeptical that renewable energy could ever be used to take a man into the air and keep him there. ‘It’s a matter of time that people come to believe and understand about renewable energies,’Piccard said, adding that the flight was proof that new technologies can help break society's dependence on fossil fuels.

The team will now set its sights on an Atlantic crossing, before attempting a round-the-world flight in 2013, making only five stops along the way. ‘It's absolutely not time to relax,’ said Piccard.
