8.Statistically,air travel is by far the safest way to travel,and you can make flying even safer,just by following these simple rules.Though your chances of being in an air accident are practically zero,many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are in the air.
Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the take-off,climb,descent and landing periods of a flight,so flying non-stop can reduce these complex steps.
Choose larger aircrafts
Although small aircrafts have very good safety records,those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to follow much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still work well.Also,in the unlikely event of a serious accident,larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem to be heard repeatedly,but it's worth listening to the flight attendants.And even if you've flown before,it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on,such as the location of the closest emergency exit.
Store things safely
Never put very heavy things in the overhead storage bins.They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury.Also,the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence(氣流).
Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this,but it's important.You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence.Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to.The general rule of flying is this:If you are told to do something,do it first and ask questions later.
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded passage on a moving aircraft,so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you.Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.
28.Why does the writer write these air safety tips?To tell the passengersA
A.how to improve safety while flying.
B.what to do in the unlikely event of a serious accident.
C.how they can avoid turbulence.
D.how to avoid injury.

B.passengers
C.larger aircrafts                 
D.safety records

B.Seat belts should be worn only during the take-off,climb,descent and landing periods of a flight.
C.Non-stop flights can reduce the complex steps of takeoff,climb,descent and landing.

3.Pool Safety Tips for Kids
On a hot summer day,there are few things that are more appealing than a nice cool pool.(36)EAnd it is completely relaxing.Of course,if you have children,there are certain safety measures you should take,whether you have a pool in your backyard or are going to a public pool.
Go swimming together.No person should ever swim alone.Though many people do,the simple truth is that it only takes a second to become injured or drown.(37)FHaving someone there with you can make the difference between life and death.This is especially true for young children.If your child is under the age of 5,you should never allow them to swim out of arm's length.
(38)AKids love to chase one another through the water.But it is important that you emphasize to your children that at no time should they be running around the pool or pushing anyone.In the water,teach children not to jump on top of one another and to watch their surroundings,so that they do not accidentally knock into others,injuring them.Playing around in the pool is very interesting but dangerous.
Keep it locked.If you own a pool,you must have a locking gate around your pool.
(39)D Keep the gate locked at all times,even when you are physically in the pool.It is terrible for children to steal into the pool.
Know the way out.(40)BMake sure that they know where all ladders are,and that you teach them to use them for entering and exiting the pool safely.Although your child may be able to lift herself or himself out of the pool using the side,that is not the safest way to go.

A.Don't play around in the pool.
B.Be sure to show all children the proper way to exit the pool.
C.Swimming under water is forbidden in the poor.
D.This is to prevent children from entering the pool without your permission.
E.Slipping into the water seems like the perfect way to deal with the heat.
F.Something sad happens every year.
G.Make sure kids know food should be eaten either before or after swimming.

13.To get a chocolate out of a box requires a lot of unpacking:the box has to be taken out of the paper bag in which it arrived,the cellophane (玻璃紙) wrapper has to be torn off,the lid opened and the paper removed,the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper:But this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries.  It is now becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.
The package itself is of no interest to the shopper,who usually throws it away immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much of the refuse put out by the average London house-hold each week  So why is it done?Some of it,like the cellophane on meat,is necessary,but most of the rest is simply competitive selling.  This is absurd.Packaging is using up valuable energy and resources and polluting the environment.
Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies(牛奶場),washed out,and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.
The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot.Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to throw away plastic altogether in the shops,a suggestion unacceptable to many producers who say there is no alternative (替代品) to their handy plastic packs.
It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and reuse of various materials  and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers rather than producing new ones.  Unnecessary packaging,intended to be used just once,and make things look better so more people will buy them,is clearly becoming increasingly absurd.But it is.not so much a question of throwing away packaging as using it wisely.What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is,after all,a relatively unimportant function.
72. The underlined part"this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries"(in Paragraph l)means.C
    A. more wrapping is needed for ordinary products
    B. more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary products
    C. too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary products
    D. the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary
73. Packaging is important to producers becauseB.
    A. it is easy to use it again
    B.they want to attract more shoppers
    C. shoppers are all interested in beautiful packaging
    D. packaged things will not go rotten
74. According to the passage,dairies areC.
    A. experimenting with the use of paper bottles 
    B.giving up the use of glass bottles
    C. increasing the use of plastic bottles        
    D.reusing their paper containers
75. Some environmentalists think thatD.
    A. plastic packaging should be made more convenient
    B. no alternative can be found to plastic packaging
    C. too much plastic is wasted
    D. shops should stop using plastic containers.

6.All of us should keep a kitchen diary,showing how much food are left uneaten as garbage.
We all waste food,you and me millions of tons of it.In China,enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200million people.In the United States,40percent of food is wasted from farm to fork.Each year,the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub-Saharan Africa.This raises some important questions.
In developing countries,food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling,storage or market access for their crops.Their grains,fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away.In developed countries,the picture is different,and food is wasted in supermarkets,restaurants and at home.China faces both problems,significant losses in farms,as well as at the sale and consumption stages.And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing.
Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet.Chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries.In supermarkets,they refuse to buy vegetables that don't look fresh or have an irregular shape,or milk and other products close to their expiry (失。 date.
Besides,Chinese consumers tend to be generous.In restaurants or at home,often too much food is ordered or cooked and served.So while trooping out of a restaurant,full and happy,with colleagues or friends,they never look back at what's left untouched on the table.Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create?
Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat.Despite China's impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades,the job is not completed yet.

31.According to paragraph 1,we know that food waste isA.
A.huge worldwide
B.mainly in USA
C.only in rich countries
D.just in African countries
32.In developing countries,food is lost mainlyA.
A.for the lack of cooling and storage
B.because of easy access to markets
C.because of the wet weather
D.because of the quality of the food
33.The main reason for food waste in China isA.
A.the effect of consumer culture
B.the convenient food supply
C.the worry about food quality
D.people's being particular about it
34.How do Chinese feel when they leave restaurants with much food left behind?A
A.Generous.
B.Unconscious.
C.Wealthy.
D.Valuable.
35.The purpose of the passage is to tell usA.
A.not to waste any food from now on
B.the necessity to improve food quality
C.the fact of food waste in developed countries
D.the influence of consumer culture on Chinese.
