27、 Survival and rescue stories from the deadly crash of TransAsia Airways Flight 235 in Taiwan are inspiring as well as exciting. They raise the question: Why do some passengers survive plane crashes while others sadly don't?
Some of the survival games involve factors passengers largely can't control, like the weather, flight crew skills, the design of airline seats and the construction, maintenance (维修) and the age of the plane.
But passengers themselves can do a lot to improve their chances of survival simply by making smart choices and being informed.
Here are a few ideas to keep in mind:
* Seat choice. Experts differ. Have you heard of the “five-row rule”? This refers to the idea that if you're sitting within five rows of an emergency exit, you have a statistically (统计地) better chance of surviving a crash.
* Listen to the safety talk. Yeah, it's boring. But it could save your life! The presentation-by video or by flight attendants-explaining what to do in case the plane goes down, offers key information like: How do I get out?
* Read the safety card. Do you know that safety card in the pocket of the seat in front of you? Think of it as a map leading you toward survival. Read it. It shows how the plane you're on will be evacuated (撤离) .
* Be aware of the exits. Plan your escape. Visualize how you-and perhaps children you're traveling with-are going to get out of the plane.
* Move quickly. You have 90 seconds to get out of the plane after a crash. Many passengers in plane crashes survive the initial impact. It's what happens next that often kills them. This includes fire, smoke and sometimes water. Sherwood advises using 90 seconds as a time frame for escaping.
【1】At the beginning of the passage, the crash of TransAsia Airways is mentioned ________.
A.to share a story
B.to introduce the topic
C.to introduce a flight
D.to criticize the passengers
【2】Of the following things, passengers can control ________.
A.the weather
B.flight crew skills
C.the age of the plane
D.making choices of the seat
【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.You should read the boring safety card on the desk in front of you.
B.You'd better sit within seven rows of an emergency exit.
C.You should design your escape way in advance.
D.You should wait a moment after a crash.
【4】The author's purpose in writing this passage most probably is ________.
A.to offer us some tips on how to survive an air-crash
B.to offer us some tips on how to enjoy an air journey
C.to inform us of major services on the plane
D.to inform us of the danger of taking planes

29、Being twins, my brother Ethan and I were dressed in same clothes. 【1】 As we grew, Ethan and I were excited to start our own identities. We made different friends, wore different clothes. In high school we often prevented talking to each other. Then we chose different colleges and were living apart for the first time in our lives.
This was exciting to me: life without a twin, without people mixing me up with Ethan. 【2】 Alone at college, I felt like I had lost something.
In some ways, being apart brought Ethan and me closer together. Once we were at colleges in different states, we began calling each other. I can’t remember who called who first, and we never talked about feelings, or philosophy (哲学), or about any serious topic. 【3】 “I haven’t slept in 24 hours.” “I just ate a huge hamburger.” At the end of my long-distance chats with Ethan, he’d hang up, and I’d be alone again in my room.
【4】 So we really got something by crossing the miles.
Ethan and I are living together again for now, back in our childhood home, along with my parents and my sister. We stay up late playing video games, playing jokes, belly-laughing (捧腹大笑) softly so we don’t awake others. 【5】 Ethan often makes fun of me. It’s nice, not being alone.
A.We looked the same.
B.We went to the same senior high.
C.So I was attracted to this new life.
