Flying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortless——you just have to book your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport. You board the plane and several cocktails and movies later, you arrive at your destination, and hopefully, your baggage does too. Here are some tips on how to be a clever traveler.
Easy check-in
Avoid the queue and check yourself in by using the MAS Web Check-In (malaysiaairlines.com) in the comfort of your own home or office. Passengers can now check in online anytime from 24 hours to 90 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time. This is available for flights departing from all MAS stations ——except Paris, Kunming, Xiamen and Bandar Seri Begawan——to all MAS destinations. You can even select preferred seats online.
Bag hygiene
No, we’re not talking about the cleanliness of your bags! It’s the aviation talk for a bag that doesn’t carry any old baggage tags with barcodes that could confuse the baggage sensor（传感器）.
If you find yourself arriving in Sydney while your bag lands in Tokyo, it could be because of your old baggage tag. Another reason why bags go missing could be the printing quality of the barcode; bags are misdirected because the sensors can’t read the codes correctly.
Less is more
Most airports around the world now set a weight limit of 32kg per piece of baggage. This will not only help protect the airline workers’ health, but also be easier for you to carry your bags around.
Avoid packing dangerous goods or placing valuables inside your check-in luggage. Ensure that locks are properly secured as a lot of baggage locks are found caught between the conveyor belts（传送带）. Smaller and softer bags are usually placed inside a tray at check-in to protect the locks from contact with the conveyor belt.
1.According to the passage, airplane passengers ______.
A. can check in without going to the airport

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “hygiene” in the passage?
A. Disappearance. B. Protection.
C. Check. D. Cleanliness.

a. The bags are too old and dirty.

认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容回答问题。
American pilot Frank Webb first flew a glider at the age of 14, made his first flight alone on his．16th birthday and got his commercial pilot's licensee （执照）on his 18th birthday．
After serving in the US Navy for 20 years, being a Boeing flight instructor, and working with Alaska Airlines for more than three years, Webb signed a contract with Shenzhen Airlines last May to captain domestic routes in China．As an experienced pilot, he still feels the same nervousness as he felt on his first fight.
Captain Webb said that the "Sept．11" incident did not have a direct influence on his decision to move to China to work．"Safety is in fact tighter in the United States and I am not worried about a terrorist attack," he said．"The main reason I came to China was that my children will have a chance to see the world and experience international living．"
Webb has not experienced any in-flight emergencies（紧急情况） during his term in China although he said the weather here was generally more changeable than in the United States．"The weather changes tend to be great from north to south．We may be flying in a snow storm in Harbin, and then later that same day we may be flying through a tropical rain shower approaching Shenzhen," Webb said．
While Webb had more flexibility（灵活性） to deal with the weather in the United States, he said air traffic control in China was more strict and allowed fewer deviations（偏离）．
Speaking of planes often being late in China, Webb said that in America, being late was one of the few things that would get him in trouble．"In China, on the other hand, it seems there are many things that can get you in trouble with the boss, but being late is not one of them．" Webb does everything in his power to keep his flights on schedule．
"They provide really excellent service during flights．Western flight attendants just serve passengers．But the Chinese attendants will also check on the crew to see if we need anything," Webb said．
1.Why did Webb sign a contract with Shenzhen Airlines? （no more than 20 words）
2.What is "glider " （in Paragraph 1）? （no more than 5 words）
3.What in the flight Webb met in China increased his difficulty? （no more than 5 words）
4.Is Webb's flight often late? Why? （no more than 20 words）
5.What can you learn from Webb's words in the last paragraph? （no more than 10 words）

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route．He replied,“You mean fortunately．”He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided．
My attitude to the hill has now changed．I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following．This hill will exercise my heart and lungs．It will help me to lose weight and get fit．It will mean that I live longer．This hill is my friend．Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I call get the same value for free．I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill．
Problems are there to be faced and overcome．We cannot achieve
anything with an easy life．Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person
to gain a university degree．Her activism and writing proved inspirational．She
wrote，“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet．Only
through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened，vision
cleared，ambition inspired and success
achieved.” 
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity(逆境)．From time to time we all face hardships，problems．accidents、afflictions and difficulties．Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own．While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it．
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 193l he had both legs cut off following a flying accident．He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to
become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial
victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to others during the war．He
said,“Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can’t do this or that．That's
nonsense．Make up your mind，you'll never use
crutches(拐杖)or a stick，then have a go at
everything．Go to school，join in all the
games you can．Go anywhere you want to．But
never，never let them persuade you that things are too difficult
or impossible.”
The biographies（传记）of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced．The common thread is that they did not become depressed．They chose their attitude．They chose to be positive．They took on the challenge．They won．
Nevertheless．there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity．
1. Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?
A．Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise．
B．People are silly to pay to go to the gym．
C．Those who want to achieve success can't expect to live all easy lire．
D．People's attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed．
2．By quoting what Douglas Bader said，the author intends to tell us“___________．”
A．Failure is the mother of Success．
B．A fall into the pit，a gain in your wit．
C．If you venture nothing，you will have nothing．
D．Nothing is difficult to the man who will try．
3．Following this passage，the author will further talk about___________．
A．how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he faced
B．what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you face
