　　Air travel is such an everyday experience these days that we are not surprised when we read about a politician having talks with the Japanese Prime Minister one day, attending a conference in Australia the following morning and having to be off at midday to sign a trade agreement in Hong Kong. But frequent long-distance flying can be so tiring that the traveler begins to feel his brain is in one country, his digestion(消化) in another and his powers of attention nowhere in short, he hardly knows where he is.

　　The tiring condition we normally experience after a long journey will become even sharper when we fly from east to went or vice versa(反之亦然) because we cross time areas. Air travel is so quick nowadays that we can leave London after breakfast and be in New York in eight hours, yet what really disturbs us most is that when we arrive it is only lunch time when we have already had lunch on the plane and are expecting dinner.

　　Doctors say that since air travelers are in no condition to work after crossing a number of time areas, they should go straight to bed on arrival. Airline pilots, however, often live by their own watches, taking no notice of local time, and have breakfast at midnight if necessary.

　　Businessmen who go on long-distance flights, however, are usually proud of having been chosen because it adds to their position in the firm. They are lucky if the boss is clever enough to insist on their taking the doctor's advice and resting for a day before work. Sometimes the managing director is such an energetic person that he expects everyone to be as fit as he is. As he has never felt any ill effects after flying himself, the schedule (时间表) he lays down is so tight that the employee is too tired to carry out satisfactorily. He must either go straight to an important meeting as soon as his plane touches down or else return as soon as the meeting is over to his boss. Managers of this type often do not realize how troublesome this policy may be for the man's health and the company's honor and fame.

1．A long-distance traveler will have little power of attention right after the flight because of ________.

[　　]

2．Which of the following is not affected by crossing time areas?

[　　]

3．Airline pilots have breakfast at midnight because ________.

[　　]

A．they do not act according to local time

B．doctors advise them to do so

C．they are too busy with their work

D．it is time for breakfast according to local time

4．The boss who requires his employee to work right after long-distance flight ________.

[　　]

A．will be well known for his efficiency(效率)

B．may not get the result as he had expected

C．is giving his employee a test before giving him a better job

D．will bring good honor and fame to his company

　　My wife and I had just finished the 150-mile trip home from our daughter's college. It was the first time in our lives that she would go away for any length of 1 . We wondered how other people had 2 it.

　　Later in bed, I 3 the time I started college. My father had driven me, too. My mother had to stay 4 to keep the cattle from getting into the crops. I, the fourth in a line of brothers, was the first to 5　　college.

　　The truck was slow, and I was glad. I didn't want to get to 6 too soon. I shook hands with my father in the truck and he didn't say a word. But I knew he was going to make a little 7 . He finally said, “I never went to college and 8 of your brothers went to college. I can't say don't do this or that, because everything is 9 and I don't know what is going to 10 , but I think things will work out. When you get a job, be sure to be 11 and work hard. ”I knew that soon I would be 12 in the big town and I would be 13 the life.

　　Then my father brought out the Bible (圣经) that he had read so 14 . I knew that he would miss it and I must 15 it. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it. ”

　　When I finished school I took the Bible back to my father. But he said he wanted me to 16 it.

　　Now, too late, I remember. It would have been so 17 to give it to my daughter when she got out of the car. But I didn't. I could give her 18 . My father could give me only a Bible. But I don't really believe now that I gave her 19 as much as my father gave me. So the next morning I 20 up the book and sent it to her. I wrote a note. “This can help you. ”I said. “If you will let it.”
