International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers,the man or woman who regu?larly jets from country to country as part of the job. This does not necessarily mean that airlines ever abandoned their business travelers. Indeed,companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would rightly argue that they have always catered (迎合) best for the executive class passengers. But many lines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recent past on attracting passen?gers by volume,often at the expense of regular travelers. Too often,they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality. Operating a major airline in the 1980s is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their widebod?ied jets with low fare passengers,without forgetting that the front end should be filled with peo?ple who pay substantially more for their tickets.
It is no coincidence that the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the compa?nies specializing in cheap flights. But low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable,and in the recent recession (經(jīng)濟衰退) the volume of traffic has not grown. Equally the large number of airlines jostling (爭奪) for the available passengers has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cutthroat competition driving down fares has been to push some airlines into collapse and leave many others hovering (搖擺不定) on the brink (邊沿) .
Against this grim (嚴酷的) background,it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly towards the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have invested much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.
High on the list of priorities (有先考慮的事) is punctuality;an executive's time is money. Inflight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for the executive's attention. The free drinks and headsets and better food are all part of the lure (吸引力) .
( ) 5. One criticism against many international airlines is that they have,in the recent past,
A. catered for the more wealthy people
B. given preferential treatment to executive clients
C. only met the needs of the regular traveler
D. marketed their service with the masses in mind
( ) 6. With the intention of attracting a somewhat different type of passenger,the airlines have now begun to concentrate on .
A. ensuring that the facilities offered to the executive are indeed superior
B. providing facilities enabling business travelers to work on board
C. organizing activities in which firstclass passengers can participate
D. installing sleeping compartments where more privacy is ensured
( ) 7. From the passage we can infer that .
A. a successful airline in the 1980s meets the needs not only of the masses but also of the wealthy passengers
B. it is more comfortable to sit in the back of jet planes
C. business travelers dislike tourists
D. only by specializing in cheap flights can airlines avoid bankruptcy
( ) 8. The case that "the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the companies specializing in cheap flights" implicates .
A. the airlines should not pay more attention to the regular passengers
B. airlines for low fares must keep a constant stream of passengers in order to stay viable
C. the airlines should pay more attention to the business passengers
D. low fares would make companies bankrupted

Fearful parents are saying no to sleepovers,banning children as old as 15 from using pub?lic transport on their own and watching over their kids like hawks at the local park,according to a new British study.
The survey of 6,099 people commissioned (受委托) by LV = Streetwise,a charity that ed?ucates children about safety,revealed that nearly a quarter of children aged 15 or under were not allowed to sleep at a friend's house,60 percent were forbidden to travel on public transport alone and 43 percent can't go to the park without a parent or guardian.
It said more than 60 percent of mums and dads think the world is more dangerous than when they were kids.
"It's difficult for parents to know when is the right time to step back and allow children to experience things on their own,and this report shows just how much things have changed over the last generation," said LV = group chief executive Mike Rogers in a statement.
In contrast,just four percent of today's adults say they were banned from sleepingover when they were 15 or younger,only two percent were forbidden to use public transport,and the same number couldn't go out on their own in familiar surroundings,such as their local town or park.
"Stranger danger" is the number one worry for over half of all parents (54 percent) ，fol?lowed by bullying (47) ”mugging (47) and road danger (34) .
On average,children today can look forward to walking to school on their own by the age of 11,use public transport on their own at 12 ,and babysit their brother or sister by the time they're 14.
In contrast,parents say they were allowed to walk to school unaccompanied at the age of nine,use public transport alone by the time they were 11 ,and babysit a sibling by the time of their 12th birthday.
Parents know they are being tougher on their children and over a third said they felt uneasy that their kids do not get the same opportunities as they did to experience freedom as a young?ster.
( ) 5. According to the text,which can best describe the feeling of the fearful parents?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Disappointed.
C. Disquieted. D. Disapproved.
( ) 6. What is the most worrying problem for over half of all parents about their children's safety?
A. Their children sleeping at a friend's house.
B. Stranger danger.
C. Using public transport on their own.
D. Bullying,mugging and road danger.
( ) 7. percent of children aged 15 or under were not allowed to sleep at a friend's house now in comparison with their parents' .
A. 25% ； 4% B. 20% ； 4% C. 15% ； 2% D. 25% ； 2%
( ) 8. What is the main meaning of the passage?
A. Compared with their own childhood,many parents got the idea that the world is changing.
B. More than half of parents are firmly under the belief that the world is more dan?gerous than when they were kids.
C. With the development of the society,people have to change their opinion of the world.
D. Some parents feel sorry for their children not experiencing freedom as a young?ster.

The handling and delivery of mail has always been a serious business,underpinned (加強，鞏固) by the trust of the public in requiring timeliness,safety,and confidentiality (保密性) .After early beginnings using horseback and stagecoach,and although cars and trucks later replaced stagecoaches and wagons,the railway mail service still stands as one of America's most re?sourceful and exciting postal innovations (革新) .This service began in 1832,but grew slowly until the civil war. Then from 1862,by sorting the mail on board moving trains,the post office department was able to decentralize (分散，下放) its operations as railroads began to crisscross (縱橫交錯的) the nation on a regular basis,and speed up mail delivery. This service lasted until 1974. During peak decades of service,railway mail clerks handled 93% of all nonlocal mail and by 1905 the service had over 12 ,000 employees.
Railway post office trains used a system of mail cranes to exchange mail at stations without stopping. As a train approached the crane,a clerk prepared the catcher arm which would then snatch the incoming mailbag in the blink of an eye. The clerk then booted out the outgoing mailbag. Experienced clerks were considered the elite (精華) of the postal service's employees,and spoke with pride of making the switch at night with nothing but the curves and feel of the track to warn them of an upcoming catch. They also worked under the greatest pressure and their jobs were considered to be exhausting and dangerous. In addition to regular demands of their jobs they could find themselves the victims of train wrecks (毀壞) and robberies.
As successful as it was, "mail-on-the-fly" still had its share of glitches (差錯) .If they hoisted (升起) the train's catcher arm too soon,they risked hitting switch targets,telegraph poles or semaphores (信號裝置) ，which would rip (扯開) the catcher arm off the train. Too late,and they would miss an exchange.
( ) 5. Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A. Cars and trucks later replaced stagecoaches and wagons to deliver mails.
B. There was a high turnover of railway mail clerks.

A. exchange mail at stations without stopping the train
B. exchange the incoming mailbag in the blink of an eye
C. boot out the outgoing mailbag
D. handling and sorting the mail
( ) 7. The underlined expression "mail-on-the-fly" refers to .
A. fast speed B. skillful clerks
C. nonstop system D. mail cranes
( ) 8. What is the main meaning of the passage?
A. How the catcher arm snatched the mailbag without stopping the running train.
B. Timeliness,safety,and confidentiality are very important in mail handling and delivery.
C. The way the mail cranes exchanged mail.
