The United States: Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight—no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID (带照片的身份证).

Anyone who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airline's computer service by June 16 will get an award (奖励). Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for $ 99, good anywhere in the US or Canada through Feb. 12, 2000, along with the lowest ticket prices. Some airlines offer extra frequent-flier miles for the ticket less crowd. And there are rising punishments for paper lovers. American, Northwest, United, and last week, US Airways have raised the cost for lost ticket replacement (替换) to $ 70 from either $ 60 or $ 50. The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing ticket.

1．Why is the new ticketless flight introduced?

A. it is cheaper for air travelers.

B. It helps reduce the cost for airlines.

C. It can use computer fliers to plan air traveling.

The "Thumbs-Up"

　　While Western culture has become used to the thumbs-up as a good signal(probably coming from World War II pilots using the signal to show that they were "good to go" with ground crews), there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble．In West Africa, as well as Greece, Italy and Middle East, the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult(侮辱)．

　　Rather more interesting is a thumbs-up in Germany and in parts of Japan－they just see it as the hand signal for the number one．

The "A-OK"

　　This sign is mainly used by divers(潜水员)to mean "OK"(to prevent being confused with the thumbs-up sign, which means "rise")．Basically the meaning comes out as "great", or "completely fine"．However, in a few countries in Europe, people may think you抮e telling them that you think they抮e a 'zero挘?/P>

The "V Sign"

　　The sign comes in two formats：one with the palm(手掌)faced outwards, and one with the palm inwards．In America they mean the same thing －"victory"．However, if the outside of your hand is facing your target(目标), you抮e giving somebody a long-built insult in Great Britain and many English-speaking countries such as Australia, Ireland and New Zealand．Winston Churchill famously used the "incorrect" version of the V sign during the early years of the war, turning the outside inside later．The V sign is also considered rude in Italy．

The "Corna"

　　The corna hand gesture has most recently been adopted by fans of rock and heavy metal music．Nowadays many Americans use the gesture simply to mean "rock on", or in support of the University of Texas in Austin(known as the "Hook抏m Horns")．Today it is still popular in Spain, Brazil and Slovakia．Historically, however, the symbol possibly dates back to Ancient Greece．

(1)

Which of the following signs doesn抰 have an insulting meaning?
[　　]
A．	The "Thumbs-Up"．
B．	The "A-OK"．
C．	The "V Sign"．
D．	The "Corna"．

(2)

What information can we get from the passage?
[　　]
A．	The "V Sign" was first used by Winston Churchill．
B．	Italians often use the "Thumbs-Up" to praise others．
C．	You are most likely to see the "Corna" in a heavy metal music concert．
D．	The "A-OK" and the "Thumbs-Up" have the same meaning to divers．

(3)

If you travel abroad, you 抎 better not use the "V Sign" in ________．
[　　]
A．	Greece or Italy
B．	Germany or Japan
C．	Ireland or Italy

                                                          The Value of Tears
     Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you
embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when
you're not crying, they make a film over the eye's surface.   1
     When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. "People worry
about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they'II never get it back. "     2    After
we cry , the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.
    Sometirnes people become much stressed and can't cry. Whatever emotion  they  are  feeling-shock ,
anger, fear , or sadness-is being held back.

consists of giving people permission to cry.   3   Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe , private  places  to  cry , like  under the  bedcovers or in the car.
     Crying is a way of reducing tension, but people don't like it when others cry because it makes them
tense.   4   And they'll do just about anything to make you stop.
     In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It's good not to cry during a tense
business discussion.   5   You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as
you Iike. It will help you feel better. "And,"  she adds, "once your tears have taken away the stress , you
can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem. "
     Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never
be afraid to cry yourself.
A. They too may be holding back a need to cry.
B. They cry for different reasons.
C. She gives crying exercises.
D. It contains a chemical against infection.
E. The fact is that no emotion lasts forever.
F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.
