Sitting at the back means fewer food options.B. Flight attendants get paid only for flight hours.C. Flight attendants job is to keep passengers safe.D. Flight attendants might water down your drinks.E. Flight attendants are trained to identify criminals.F. The seat-belt sign is “on” far longer than necessary.Things An Air Hostess Wont Tell YouTo make things a bit easier for them and ensure a smooth flight, many Flight attendants have little tricks under their sleeves. Here are some of them which they wont tell you out of sheer politeness.61._Contrary to what most people think, a flight attendants primary job is to ensure your safety - the helping and serving part of their job are just add-ons. If they are assisting you with your luggage, it is to make sure it is stored properly and does not harm anyone. They are not required to lift your bags or help you take them elsewhere. All the other assistance, such as providing you with a drink, handing you hot towels, etc., are to make sure you stay calm and satisfied.62. _As unfair as it may seem, the time that a flight attendant spends in getting the plane ready, settling you down, etc., is not included in their salary. They do, however, receive some expense allowance(津贴) for the entire time they clock in - it is a pretty small income though63. _If a flight attendant feels a passenger is ordering too many drinks, and getting drunk, they might avoid serving him/her by avoiding eye contact. When that fails, they might just fill the glass half-way or give him/her a diluted (稀释的) drink64. _A number of training programs and workshops exist to train flight attendants in different aspects. As some people are using flights more and more to smuggle (走私), flight attendants are being regarded as the first line of defense against this heinous （邪恶的）crime. The benefits are already evident - a number of dangers are avoided, thanks to alert(警惕的) flight attendants on board65. _This is a bit unfortunate for those sitting at the back of the plane, but nevertheless true. As the attendants start serving from the front of the plane to the back, the variety of drinks or meals might go down. This is because a plane has limited space, only a certain number of items can be stored, and by the time they get to the back of the plane, they run out of at least a few of the options.【参考答案】6165 CBDEA阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。One day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.

Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner. In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6, 800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U. S. , but were likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication(NFC) gets into Americas consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public. Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminala contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U. S. , a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale(POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture(合资企业) that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U. S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, whats to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “Were still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isnt. 1.

To fulfill the first requirement you must have some marks to let drivers distinguish you at once from all other hikers. A serviceman，for instance，should wear his uniform，a student his scarf. In a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a drivers attention.When I hitchhiked 9,500 miles across the United States and back recently I wore a welltailored suit，a bowler hat and a trench coat，and carried a pencilthin rolled black umbrella. My suitcase was decorated with British flags. Having plenty of luggage，moreover，I was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic (精神病患者)I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveler，and needed to get somewhere cheaply.But even with careful preparation，you must not assume that the task will be easy. You should be prepared to wait a little，for there are drivers who confess to a fierce prejudice against，(not to say hatred of)，hitchhikers，and would no more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London. In America，my average wait was half an hour，and my longest two hours，but I have heard of people waiting all daythey probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice.Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice，normal people. On one occasion I found myself was with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police，and were hoping to use me as an alibi(不在犯罪现场的证人)There are also lesser(较小的)risks：you may find yourself in the car of a Fascist fanatic，a Mormon missionary(传教士)，or just a bad driver. You cannot tell，of course until you are in the car. But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.If the hitchhiker in the US. remembers that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride，and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company，and not go to sleep，he will come across the remarkable，almost legendary，hospitality of American of the West. It will also help if he can driveI drove myself about 4,500 of those 9,500 miles I hitchhiked in the States.1A hitchhiking serviceman should wear his uniform _.Aso as not to look too unusualBto attract attentionCto show he is on dutyDto put the driver at ease2In Paragraph 3，we learn that the writer _.Ahas sometimes failed to hitch a rideBhas marched from Aldermaston to LondonChas always been successful in hitching a rideDhas had to wait for long hours for a ride3In the last paragraph，the writer wants to tell us that a hitchhiker should _.Anot talk to the driver too muchBfall asleep to make it a peaceful rideCtry to make himself pleasant and entertainingDseek the willingness of drivers4A suitable title for the passage would be _.A“The Art of Hitchhiking”B“An Englishmans View of the US.”C“An English Hitchhiker”D“The Joys and Dangers of Hitchhiking”答案：14 BCCA阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。The Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood. Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everything in the Child ego state is negative. We might go into someones house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmothers house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back. The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For example, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves fo
