    On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, rich white South American lady found
herself sitting next to a black man. She called the cabin stewardess (機(jī)艙乘務(wù)員) over to complain about
her seating.
    "What seems to be the problem, Madam?" asked the stewardess.
    "Can't you see?" she said. "You've sat me next to a black man. I can't possibly sit next to this kind of
human. Find me another seat!"
    "Please calm down, Madam," the stewardess replied. "The flight is very full today, but I'll tell you what
I'll do."
   Will go and check to see if we have any free seats in Club (商務(wù)艙) or First Class."
    The lady had an unfriendly look at the outraged (被激怒的) black man beside her.
    A few minutes later the stewardess returned and said to the lady with a self-satisfied smile, "I'm sorry,
Madam, this Economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)艙) is full, and Club is also full. However, we do have one seat in First Class."
   The lady could not help looking at the people around her. But before she had a chance to get up or make
any answer, the stewardess continued, "We seldom make this kind of upgrade (升級(jí)), however, and I had
to report it to the captain (機(jī)長(zhǎng))." When the captain heard this, he said that it was not proper to make
someone sit next to such an obnoxious (令人討厭的) person. Having said that, the stewardess turned to
the black man sitting next to the lady, and said, "So if you'd like to get your things, sir, I have a seat ready
for you…"
    At this time, the people around stood up and clapped their hands. The black man walked up to the front
of the plane.
    That was an unforgettable flight for me, for I was the black man who had never flown First Class before.
1. Where did this story happen?

3. What might be the correct order of the cabins from the front to the back on this plance?
[     ]
A.Club→Pilots' →Economy →First Class
B. Pilots' →Club →Economy →First Class

learn to do things myself."
     For the next few years, Wang taught himself all his middle school subjects in the hospital and, five years
after the accident, he won a chance to study in a college in Norway. Wang learned to drive, go rock climbing
and ski. He even won two gold medals for skiing in an international skiing competition.

     On a very hot day, it is hard to know what to do to feel good. If you run around, you may feel sick in
your stomach. However, if you just sit quietly and do nothing, you may feel bored. Are there things you
can do to feel good and have fun when you're hot?
     Perhaps playing in water is a good choice to make you cool down. Taking a cool bath or shower, or
even washing toys in a pan of cool water can also make you feel good on a hot day. Besides, you can read
stories or paint in front of a fan. You don't need to move your body very much. These are just some of the
cool things to do on a hot day.
     In addition, it's important for you to drink water. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water
in one day. If you feel thirsty, you are already short of water. So don't wait for thirst before you start to
drink. You should try to drink as much water as you lose every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your
water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.
     The food you eat also makes a difference in how you feel in the heat. Cold foods such as ice cream and
drinks with some ice can cool down your bodies. Fruits and vegetables are also helpful to stay cool in hot
weather. So plan a healthy menu for a hot day---one that doesn't need any cooking.
1. Is it easy to know what to do to feel good on a hot day?
    _________________________________________________ 
2. Is playing in water a good choice or a bad one?

3. How much water do we lose one day in hot weather?
