On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article in The New York Times, it could also endanger personal situations 一 in an airplane crash, for example.

The New York Times’ Christine Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength (强度）first set more than 60 years ago一 require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88 kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75 kg). Negroni reports:

“If a heavier person completely fills a seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salzar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly. "

“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said “ If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered by ‘ the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’.”

Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies (人体模型). Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.

Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger is a problem.

1.What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with?

A. The size of airplane seats and seat belts.

B. Safety of overweight airplane passengers.

C. Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.

D. A medical problem caused by being overweight.

2.Robert Salzar would probably agree that ______ .

D. passengers should know how to protect themselves

3.We can learn from the text that ______ .

A. airplane seat makers have taken action now

B. there are few complaints about airplane seats

C. those seated near the overweight may suffer too

D. only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Why do passengers feel anxious about flying?

B. Will 42% of Americans be overweight by 2030?

C. When will the overweight enjoy their flight?

D. Are airplane seats safe enough for the overweight?

For over 2000 years, the good old iron horseshoe has remained the only reliable footwear f horses, but an Austrian company is ready to “take the horse out of the Iron Age” with the world’s first equine(似马的) running shoes, the Megasus Horserunners.

Charly Forstner, the founder of Megasus, learned that over 50% of horses that , put down suffered from severe hoof (蹄) and leg problems. 20 years ago, he decided to devote his life to coming up with a better alternative to the iron horseshoe. Recently he created truly revolutionary-clip-on running shoes for horses.

While the iron horseshoe is known for its durability and adjustability it also has some serious flaws-it’s heavy, restricts movement, has no shock absorption, channels heat and cold to the inner hoof, and the need for nailing can destroy the hoof horn. But finding hoof boots that don’t rub on a horse, leg and hoof, are easy to put on and remove, and stay on all kinds of terrain(地形), can be a real struggle. The Megasus Horserunners claim to combine all the qualities of both choices, while getting rid of the downsides.

“The innovative Megasus Horserunners offer many advantages. They are lightweight, can be adjusted individually, easy to put on, and offer protection without permanence,” a Megasus press release states.

“It can also stay put in all kinds of terrain including mud and water plus it allows the hoof to be flexible. The product is also designed to protect the sole from bruising, cracking and other injuries by offering shock absorption. It does not accumulate snow, dirt or mud and is easy to clean.”

After successful tests, Megasus sought to raise some money for production through crowdfunding online, asking for ?100,00. Finally, they managed to raise ?169,136. The first Megasus Horserunners are scheduled to be shipped in July 2017.

1.Forstner decided to change the iron horseshoe because .

A. he wanted to increase his fame.

B. he found the iron horseshoe made horses suffer.

C. his company asked him to invent a new horseshoe.

D. he was an animal welfare inspector.

2.Which of the following is close to the underlined word “flaw” in Para. 4?

A. loss B. mistake

C. disadvantage D. inconvenience

3.How did Megasus get their fund to produce their products?

A. They collected money on a platform online.

B. They raised money among their campaigners.

C. They borrowed money from the local banks.

D. They launched a campaign in the market.

4.From the passage, we can infer .

A. the Megasus Horserunners can only allow horses to run in mud and water.

B. the Megasus Horserunners won great popularity on the Internet.

C. the Megasus Horseruuners made it easy for horses to hurt their hooves.

D. the Megasus Horseruuners can clip-on to the horse’s hooves automatically.

Are you still worried about overcharging for your luggage over the weight limit? An " Airport Jacket" containing up to 15kg luggage is designed to help frequent flyers bypass(绕过) airport baggage queues, reduce baggage fees and really lower the risk of lost luggage.

" With airlines beginning to charge for carry - on baggage as well as severely limiting 10aggage allowances for the low fare economy traveler, my partner and I have designed a jacket that can wear your laptop, tablet, two pairs of shoes, a pair of jeans, five T - shirts, a jumper and a camera," designer Claire Murphy explains. "It totals 14 deep pockets, including 8 pockets at hip length, 11 pockets at three - quarter length and 14 pockets at full length. "

. Claire and Benke Murphy came up with the idea while traveling home with their newborn child. They had so much extra carry - on luggage that the airline tried to charge them $ 140 for it, more than the cost of their tickets. So they had to put clothes, chargers, diapers and toys into their pockets, until just over the weight limit. They escaped the tax, but everything sticking out of their pocket saw a pretty uncomfortable plane ride.

However, people have been raising questions about the usefulness of the Airport Jacket, especially the trouble of going through security checkpoints. They are arguing that having to take all out and then putting them back into the pockets is not worth the few tens of dollars you save on a checked luggage.

But Benke claims that walking through airport security is not an issue as long as you follow guidelines for carry - on luggage. " It only needs to be worn when checking in and at the boarding gate. What' s more, Airport security is not looking at how you store your luggage but checking its contents. "

Its makers are currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, trying to raise $ AU100, 000. But they've only raised $ AU3, 675 so far, although they still have 37 days to go, so it's still hopeful And even if this fails, they may still find a way to get it to market.

1.What's the least possible benefit of using the Airport Jacket?

A. it may cut down on the luggage fees.

B. it may decrease the risk of losing luggage.

C. it may save the time of passing long queues.

D. it can guarantee you a comfortable flight service. .

2.What does the paragraph 3 mainly discuss about?

A. how much luggage the couple carried

B. how luckily the couple avoided overcharging

C. how the designers got their inspiration

D. how painful the couple's flying experience was

3.What can we infer from this passage?

A. The pockets of the 'Airport Jacket have 28 in total.

B. Not all regard the Airport Jacket as a perfect invention.

C. Crowdfunding is the best way to collect money you need.

D. Airports now begin to limit the number of economy travelers.

4.What will the author probably mention in the next paragraph?

A. Their kinds of anxiety and fear facing failure.

B. Their possible measures to market their product.

C. Their sharp and powerful attack against those opposed.

D. Their attempts to improve and enlarge the production capacity.
