Its thousands of metres high in the sky, in a plane, especially when theres a heart-warming comedy on.Why am I admitting (承认) this now? Because Im not alone. The British singer Ed Sheeran says he gets emotional (情绪激动的) when flying too. Also a survey carried out by Gatwick Airport in London found that 15 of men admit theyre more likely (可能的) to cry during films in planes than watching at home. And 41 of men admit they often try to hide their tears in another survey by Virgin Atlantic (a British airline). In all, 55 of air travellers in the Virgin Atlantic study said they get emotional when flying. So, whats going on? A study from the Netherlands has shown that adults cry because of feelings of separation, loneliness or powerlessness. All of these are easily experienced when flying: youre far from family, often alone, and have no control over the flight.Another is that when youre in a plane in the sky, theres not a lot you can do. So you are able to pay more attention to the movies you watch. Then theres the physical space. In a plane, air pressure and oxygen levels are lower, and this can affect (影响) our brain and emotions. On a flight, you may be leaving loved ones or really wanting to see them again, or you might have had a drink at a time you usually wouldnt, and if you see a scene that reflects your emotional state, without doubt its easier for you to cry.（1）The writer begins the passage by _. A . asking the readers a questionB . telling a jokeC . giving one fact about himselfD . telling a story（2）Which of the following explains why adults cry while flying? A .

A . exampleB . reasonC . studyD . choice（4）What is the best title for the passage? A . Surveys on air travellersB . Hiding your sadnessC . Loneliness in the skyD . Flying and emotions4. （10分）根据短文理解，完成下列各题。DLife is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell. This may sound like something someone would say today.

Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no car, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live a simpler live.One family in the UK went back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones. The grandmother, Lyn, said, The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes. The boys said they fought less.
