9.Almost  everyone  has  experienced  moments  of  fear  while  flying.It's one of modern civilization's most common problems,claiming one of every six people.Some say it's an  apples-and-oranges comparison-but per mile,air travel is considerably safer than automobile  travel.In fact,a recent US National Safety Council  study shows flying to be 22times  safer than traveling by car.
Still,fear of  flying is a very real problem that can cause more than just unreasonable  feelings  of  fright.At worst,nervous fliers experience panic attacks,shortness of breath and accompanying dizziness(眩晕).However,with  mental discipline,most  sufferers can conquer their fear of flying.Here  are  some techniques  and  strategies:
Breathe deeply.Carry  note  cards  with positive words  to  help  you  stay focused.Just  a  few  words  like"Breathe…you'll be fine"can help.
Pretend you're on a bus.Just close your eyes and  imagine  you're  on a bus ride.Any turbulence(颠簸) can be  experienced  as"bumps on  the  road".
Avoid spreading your fear.Resist  the  temptation  to  have  a  conversation about your anxiety.Talking  about  it  might  encourage  others to share their bad travel experiences and that can only increase your own fear.
Take practical steps.Try to choose a seat where you'll have more room; sitting in the middle can add to claustrophobic(幽闭恐怖的)feelings.And stay cool so that your face feels refreshed.
Use prayer.Feel free to engage in prayer as a comforting way to cope with anxiety.If nothing else,it engages regions of the brain that might otherwise be absorbed in possible danger,
Knowledge is power.Arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible about security measures,traffic control,safety features and even how much goes into training a pilot.Soon you'll be flying without fear.

A.exactly the same            
B.completely different
C.similar to each other         
D.dependent on each other
25.Which of the following can help conquer fear of flying?A
A.Learning more about air travel
B.Talking with others about the fear.
C.Keeping warm so that the mind is fresh.
D.Closing the eyes and having a good sleep.
26.If you are preparing note cards for air travel,what should appear on them?C
A.Why are you doing this?
B.Giving up is not shameful.
C.Cheer up!Everything will be OK.
D.How terrible this air travel is!Quit now!
27.The writer advises that on the plane one shouldD
A.sit wherever he likes          
B.have a seat in the back
C.choose to sit in the middle      
D.sit where there is enough room.

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.

17.An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan.The water,it angrily argues in public,has traveled 10,000"food miles"before it reached Western customers.Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK.It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900food miles).
Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry.Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient.It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25miles in a truck to a farmers'market doesn't necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea.Besides,the idea of"food miles"ignores the amount of fuel used in the production.It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana.The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What is the idea of"food miles"does provide,however,is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets.The number of miles traveled by our food should,as I see it,be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system,not a sign of damage to the environment.

4.There once was a very wealthy man who had made great achievement.He had more money than he could ever spend,and he was admired and looked up to by his neighbors.Still,he knew that something was missing in his life.He wasn't happy.All his life he had been striving for happiness,but he had never been able to find it.
