Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules． As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil（零）, many of these rules concern what you should and shouldn’t do to make your journey safer when you are in the air.

●Fly on non-stop routes

Most accidents occur during the take off, climb, descent and landing period of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complicated procedures.

●Choose larger aircraft

Although small aircrafts have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply（遵守 ）with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.

●Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing（簡報）

The information may seem to be repeated, but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you have flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.

●Store things safely

Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during the violent movements of air caused by the wind.

●Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated

Cabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You could be seriously injured if the plane hits the violent movement of air unexpectedly. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.

●Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks

Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.

1.What is the general reason for these air safety rules?

A. What to do in the event of a crash.

B. How to avoid sudden change.

C. How to improve safety while you are flying.

D. How to avoid injury.

2.The underlined phrase "The general rule" in the fifth refers to .

A. anything the flight staff tell you to do

B. general safety advice

C. walking around the plane

D. pouring hot drinks

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.

B. Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landing.

C. Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.

D. Seat belts should be worn to protect against sudden change.

4.The best title should be .

A. The safest way to travel B. Air safety tips

C. Non-stop Routes D. How to take a plane

All of England

In fact, literary landmarks are so common in London that “blue plaques(木牌)” have been introduced to show off well-known literary sites. One of the more interesting plaques can be found at 221B Baker Street-the apartment of famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes (although we can be pretty sure that he never actually stayed there).

Outside of London, it is possible to take organized tours around the countryside where England best writers grew up. If you join a Charles Dickens or Jane Austen tour, you’ll have the unique opportunity to visit the locations of famous fictional scenes. But to truly experience literature in person, you can visit Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, and watch nightly performances of his plays.

Shanghai, China

Shanghai is a really charming city, where — underneath the surface of the city — one can find some real literary treasures. One star of Shanghai literature is LU Xun, a Writer often celebrated as the father of modern Chinese literature, who spent his last nine years in the city. It’s necessary, then, for all Shanghai literary travelers to visit Lu Xun Park, which features a memorial hall dedicated to the great writer.

Another place worth visiting is the old neighborhood of poet Xu Zhimo. Xu is well known for bringing “New Wave” romanticist poetry into Chinese works. Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore once stayed at his home while visiting Shanghai.

Rome, Italy

The English romantic poet John Keats once traveled to Rome in the hope that the Mediterranean air would cure his tuberculosis(肺結(jié)核). It didn’t, and Keats died within three months.

Despite the fact that Keat’s visit was a quick one, Rome has a reminder of it — the Keats-Shelley House. Keats’ former home has been transformed into a small museum, complete with a working library.

What’s more, just across the street is the Antico Caffe Greco, a cafe frequented by famous authors like Charles Dickens, Loud Byron, Henry James, Hans Christian Andersen, Many Shelley...We could go on, but you probably get the idea that this is somewhere any literary traveler has to go.

1.This passage is mainly about ________ in different places.

A. cultural introduction B. famous poets

C. scenic spots D. literary sites

2.In England, ________.

A. Shakespeare’s plays are performed anywhere

B. Sherlock Holmes once lived in London for a short time

C. blue plaques are pinned to mark the literary sites

D. June Austen’s former residence is in London

3.From the second part of the passage, we know ________.

A. Lu Xun Park is mainly made up of his former houses

B. Tagore once visited Xu Zhimo

C. Xu Zhimo created realistic Chinese poetry

D. Lu Xun spent all his lifetime in Shanghai

4.Antico Caffe Greco is ________.

A. a beautiful and grand construction

B. a museum in honor of John Keats

C. a place providing various collections of poems

D. a cafe which was visited by many authors in history

Bottled water is a booming industry in New Zealand, but it’s terrible for the environment —each bottle thrown away adding to the 190,000 tons of plastic New Zealanders throw into landfills each year.

But now one company has created water storage that they hope will prove to be just as convenient as a plastic bottle—but contains no actual plastic.

Skipping Rock Labs make Oohos, flexible membranes filled with water that are constructed using a seaweed extract—meaning they, re totally edible and biodegradable, wrapping and all.

There aren’t any known side effects from digesting the membranes, which are tasteless—though Ooho! says flavors can be added to make them more appetizing.

The company took to crowdfunding site CrowdCube with the idea, and it has since gone viral— with more than 900 investors bagging them A£ 751,700 to develop and launch the Ooho! balls ( $ 1.35 million).

Skipping Rock Labs create the balls by dipping ice into brown algae and calcium chloride, with the membrane taking shape around the ice—and while that may sound complicated, the company says it, s more cost-effective than producing a plastic bottle.

A layer atop the membrane can be peeled off just before drinking, for hygiene purposes. Skipping Rock Labs are hoping their new product takes off—and that it starts to put a dent into the plastic packaging industry.

1.The product Oohos made by the company Skipping Rock Labs has the following good points except that .

A. it is non-plastic B. it is edible

C. it is biodegradable D. it is expensive to make

2.How does the company make their idea work in practice?

A. By working with other companies. B. By advertising their samples.

C. By crowdfunding through a website. D. By borrowing money from the bank.

3.What does Paragraph 6 mainly tell us about?

A. Why the company made their product.

B. Where the company made their product.

C. How the company’s product was made.

4.What section of a newspaper will most probably carry this article?

A. Environment. B. Opinion.

C. Politics. D. Agriculture.

“Thank you” is the most under-appreciated and under-used phrase on the planet. It is appropriate in nearly any situation.1.Let’s cover some common situations where we say all sorts of things, but should say “thank you” instead.

1. When you are receiving praise.

We often ruin praise by acting overly humble(謙遜的). The problem is that by devaluing the praise, you don’t acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say something.2.

2. When you are running late.

It is stressful for the person who is running late and it is disrespectful to the person who is waiting. It might seem strange to thank someone for dealing with your late arrival, but that’s exactly the correct response. Most people stand in the door and say “Sorry, I’m late.”3. Saying “Thank you” turns the table and acknowledges the sacrifice the other person made by waiting.

3. When you’re comforting someone.

When someone comes to you with the bad news, it can be awkward. You want to be a good friend, but most people don’t know what to say. What we fail to realize is that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to say.4.

4. When you are receiving helpful feedback(反饋）.

Feedback can be very helpful, but we rarely see it that way. Whether it is an unflattering performance review from your boss or an e-mail from an unhappy customer, the standard reaction is to get defensive(防御性的). 5.

A. Thank them for what they did despite your error.

B. You can win the argument in the way you live your life.

C. Besides, it is a better response than most of the things we say.

D. All you really need is to be present and thank them for trusting you.

E. The problem is this response still makes the situation embarrassing.

F. Simply saying “Thank you” fully acknowledges the person who made the promise.

G. That’s a shame because the correct response is to say “Thank you” and use it to improve.
