What do you read when you are travelling by train or bus? What are other people reading? Perhaps a woman sitting near you is reading a love story. A man is reading a serious biography(自傳) about a president. And there’s a student reading an English textbook.

What do their choices(選擇) say about them? Do you think you can know them by what they are reading? I have got to tell you that your feelings of them may be quite wrong. The woman reading the love story could be a lawyer. She just wants a light read to take her mind off work. The man reading the biography wants you to think that he is very clever. The student reading the textbook isn’t a student at all. She’s an English teacher.

Publishers(出版商) know that some people care what they read on trains or buses and so they put out different types of covers. For example， books about Harry Potter have a cartoon cover for young readers and then another more serious cover for grown-ups.

So next time you are on a train， look around and see what other people are reading， but don’t jump to any conclusions(結(jié)論). You will be wrong maybe.

Here is a sentence that you could say， “Don’t judge（判斷） a book by its cover”.

Title： Never judge a book people choose to read by the cover.

Persons

The lawyer reading a love story just wants to have a 1. .

The man reading the biography wants 2. people to think he is very clever.

The student reading a textbook in fact 3. English.

Ways

Publishers won’t put out the 4. cover of a book.

Conclusion

If you jump to the conclusions carelessly， you may make 5. .

In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men, or "stewards" helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers' luggage (行李) but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930, a woman called Ellen Church invented the "stewardess".

Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn't want to work on a farm or marry a farmer—she wanted a more adventurous (冒險的) life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot's license.

Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man's world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot. But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because flying was still an unreliable (不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays (延誤), many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. Agreed.

The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.

At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early "stewardesses" had to be under twenty-five-year old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned $1 an hour.

In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, "stewardesses" have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.

How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?

The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”， except in the far north， where the Eskimos (愛斯基摩人) live. There， it’s dark most of the winter， and light most of the summer. But in most of the world， people have used the sun for a clock. Even today， if you don’t have a clock， you still know that when the sun shines， it’s day， and when it’s dark， it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning， noon， or afternoon.

People near the sea can tell time from the tides(潮汐). In the daytime， for about six hours， the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.

Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock. In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.

A sand(沙) clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture， you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom(底部) part in exactly one hour. When people turn over the hourglass， the sand will take another hour to go back again.

1.How many ways does the passage show us to tell time including the watches and clocks?

A. 9 B. 4 C. 7 D. 5

2.The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because ______.

A. They know very little about the sun

B. The sun there never goes down in winter

C. It’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun

D. It has long dark winters and long light summers

3.The writer thinks ______.

A. there are no more than two tides in a day

B. a sand clock is a better clock than the tide

C. only the moon is a good “clock” for seamen

D. the wind can be a clock all over the world

4.In which column(欄目) of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?

A. Science. B. News.

C. Advertisements. D. Sports.
