22、Every day, there are 25, 000 flights in America. Accidents are so rare that flying is much safer than car travel. But that doesn’t stop many people from panic when they are moving at 500 miles per hour, 33, 000 feet above the ground. Not being at the controls makes us feel a bit helpless. When the negative thoughts begin to swirl (打旋), even in a very safe place, we will suddenly feel panic.
That’s what happened recently to a woman flying on a commercial airline. Many of us can go along doing ordinary things and suddenly be overcome with fear. The physical symptoms are real, and it requires a calming force to steady our emotions. In panic mode, every sound and movement feels like a threat. The passengers responded accordingly, jumping at every sound and the slightest turbulence (骚乱).
Floyd Dean - Shannon noticed a woman’s distress. As a flight attendant, he has plenty to do during a flight. But he stopped and spoke comfortingly to the woman. Floyd calmly explained what the noise was and that it was normal. As the woman began to calm down a bit, Floyd sat down in the aisle beside her and held her hand. He told her she was safe. He made her feel safe. He sat with her through the entire flight. At one point, Floyd learned it was another passenger’s birthday, so he led the plane in a song to celebrate — another way of making the woman feel safe by distracting her from her fears. He stayed by the woman’s side until it was time to land.
We all have friends who become distressed, who over worry, who may struggle with some difficulties that keep them from enjoying life. Like Floyd, we can be open enough to see, and to be there. We don’t have to be professional counselors; we just need to be friends.
【1】Why do some people feel fearful when on a flight?
A．They have a negative memory.
B．There are 25,000 flights at the same time.
C．There are more plane accidents than car accidents.
D．The speed and height make them feel helpless.
【2】What does the underlined word “distress” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Anger.
B．Worry.
C．Surprise.
D．Sorrow.
【3】Which of the following words best describe Floyd?
A．Brave and sympathetic.
B．Ambitious and determined.
C．Patient and considerate.
D．Sensitive and modest.
【4】What is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Overcoming fear sometimes requires a patient friend
B．Why do we suddenly feel scared when flying
C．How should we deal with the sudden fear
D．Airline travel is much safer than car travel in America
23、These are my favorite companies to use when I travel around the world. They are included here because they consistently find deals, offer world-class customer service and great value, and overall, are better than their competitors.
Skyscanner — Skyscanner is a great flight search engine which searches a lot of different airlines, including many of the budget carriers that larger sites miss. While I always start with Momondo, I use this site too as a way to compare prices.
Couchsurfing-This website allows you to stay on people’s couches or spare rooms for free. It is a great way to save money while meeting locals who can tell you the ins and outs of their city, with the result that you don't need to hire a guide to do the job. The site also lists events you can attend to meet people( even if you're not staying with someone).
Intrepid Travel---If you want to do a group tour, go with Intrepid Travel. They offer good small group tours that use local operators and leave a small environmental footprint. If you go on a tour with anyone, go with them. And, as a reader of this site, you'll get unexpected discounts when you click the link |
Rome 2 Rio — This website allows you to see how to get from point A to point B the best and cheapest way possible. It will give you all the bus, train, plane, or boat routes that can get you there as well as how much they cost.

24、 In the age of online shopping and e-readers, devoted staff and customers keep the doors of Auntie's Bookstore open for 40 years. “When you're in Portland, you go to Powell's Books. When you're in Seattle, you go to Elliott Bay. When you're in Spokane, you go to Auntie's,” said John Waite, the owner of the bookstore. “I can't imagine Spokane without Auntie's,” he said. “A lot of people can't imagine Spokane without Auntie's, either,” Waite said.
Turning visitors into regular customers is important to the store's success. Auntie's markets itself as a destination. A half-dozen book clubs meet there. Most weeks, the store hosts two to four author readings or literary events. “We want people to come down, hang out and experience the feel of having a book in their hands,” Waite said.
Eager readers not only want to read books, but want to discuss them, said Kerry Halls, the store manager. Auntie's offers them that chance, she said.
“You can't go to Amazon and talk to someone about your favorite novel, or discuss what you think of the latest Stephen King's book compared with Pet Sematary,” she said.
To compete with the convenience of shopping online, Auntie's tries to predict what books will become a trend. They store these books in advance. But Waite doesn't sugarcoat the realities of selling books in the era of Amazon and other online retailers (零售店). “Even the big guys can’t make it,” he said, noting physical retailers are striving nationally. As the United States' oldest national bookstore chain, Barnes&Noble has to constantly reorganize to stop the declining sales.
At Auntie's, regular customers are very important to its survival and development. Sales of children's and young adults' books are increasing in recent years. Waite said. “For a long time, older customers have kept bookstores alive, "he said. "Now, it's starting to attract younger people.” Another reason of Auntie's longevity (长寿) is Northwest culture, which Waite said encourages new ways of thinking and the diversity of ideas. "I think it's a great book town, “Waite said. "People are enthusiastic about reading.”
【1】What can we learn about Auntie's from Paragraph 1?
A．It is very popular in the local area.
B．It is a highly profitable physical bookstore.
C．It takes full advantage of the e-business platform.
D．It has a longer history than Powell's Books and Elliott Bay.
【2】What is Auntie's goal?
A．To set up a literary environment.
B．To have more regular customers.
C．To awaken people's interest in reading.
D．To encourage readers to learn about more authors.
【3】What does the underlined word “striving” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Celebrating.
B．Progressing.
C．Struggling.
D．Compromising.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The future of Auntie's.
B．The major customers of Auntie's.
C．The influence of Auntie's.
D．The reasons for Auntie's longevity.
25、Jeff Jensen was in a dilemma. The businessman and Boy Scout leader had difficulty in walking for painful nerve _______ in his leg and foot.
