Hot air balloons are safer than gas balloons, which may catch fire. Hot air balloons are preferred by most balloonists in the United States because of their safety. They are also cheaper and easier to manage than gas balloons and pilots must watch the weather carefully. Sport balloon flights are best early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the wind is light. Over the years, balloonists have tried unsuccessfully to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It wasnt until 1978 that three American balloonists succeeded. It took them just six days to make their trip from their homes in the United States to Paris. Their voyage captured the imagination of the whole world.61. What type of balloons is this writer referring to _?

If the books are in fair condition, they can be exchanged for new ones and receive a 10 to 20 per cent discount, said Han Zheng, director of the bookstores Public Information Department.All used textbooks and reference books will be donated to the Hope Project and will be sent to schools in rural and mountainous areas where they are greatly needed.More than 1,000 students have already taken advantage of the new policy, with more than 3,000 books exchanged since mid-July according to Han.“This practice is really helpful to students,” said a father of primary school student from Dongcheng District.Through a survey of teachers and students from more than 20 schools in the Xuanwu District of Beijing, the Cathay Bookstore realized that most students had problems dealing with the used books.In the past, the solution was simpler: a student could just pass on the books to siblings. But nowadays most students are in one-child families. Thus, passing the books on in the family is no longer an option.With no one to pass the books to, many students have resorted to just discarding them.Two bookstores- the headquarters of the Cathay Bookstore and its subordinate medical bookstore, both located on Liulichang Street- have thus far introduced the new programme.The first batch (一批)of used books will soon be sent to schools in Danyang of Jiangsu Province.66.
