A passenger (乘客) plane crash landed and took fire on Wednesday, killing 23 people trapped inside. However, 117 people managed to survive by climbing through the burning plane to safe place.

    The plane caught fire as it appeared to pass the runway at Yogyakarta, a city in Indonesia in the centre of the island of Java, 500 kilometers from the capital Jakarta, reports said.

    A survivor said that the plane stopped suddenly when it hit the ground. "Things started to fall down and I saw fires outside my window. But once the emergency door was opened a lot of people were able to get out of the plane. When the smoke started to get in the plane, people became really frightened," she said, "but unlike in many other accidents, the evacuation (疏散) was in good order, with some passengers helping elderly ladies to evacuate. Unluckily, the people sitting in the front of the plane were the last able to get out. It's a pity that some passengers lost their lives," she said.

    Downer, a fireman, who helped the passengers run away from the dangerous plane, didn't agree with the guess that the crash was made by some people on purpose. He said it appeared that the plane ran off the run-way. "Of course, we all feel very sorry." Indonesia has suffered two other transportation (交通) accidents in recent months --in January an Adam Air plane disappeared with more than 100 passengers and workers on board (在飛機上), and in late December a ship went to the bottom leaving hundreds dead.

34. The air crash happened in

   A. Yogyakarta airport   B. Jakarta airport  C. Indonesia capital    D. the centre of Java

35. Unlike in many other accidents, passengers in this plane __

   A. tried to be the first to get off the plane    B. didn't care about other people's safety

   C. were not very frightened               D. left the plane in order

36. Based on Downer's eye, the air crash was an accident caused by __

   A. terrorists (恐怖分子) B. robbers        C. itself              D. another plane

37. Compared with other recent transportation accidents in Indonesia, this air crash

   A. received more assistance               B. had fewer human losses

   C. caused smaller economic losses          D. had no worse effect
