    　　Who are the most beautiful women in the world? Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are．

    　　They win the Miss Latin America, Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country．In Venezuela, the term “Miss” as in “Miss Universe” is an honored title．

    　　These days, people in some cultures consider beauty contests to be silly．They have tried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects and place too much importance on women’s looks．But in Latin America, beauty contests are a source of pride．

    　　Are Venezuelan women really more beautiful than other women? “They are not really more beautiful here,” says Selena, who trains girls for the contest．“It’s just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else．”

    　　The preparation takes many hours a day．The contestants stretch their bodies and practice their walks down the runway．They work on their speeches and practice answering questions such as, “Whom do you admire most in the world?”

    　　It isn’t easy．One Miss Universe winner immediately put on 20 pounds after the contest．She said the only thing she wanted to do after the contest was to eat．The cost is high as well．Fortunately the television station that holds the contest pays the costs．

    　　Yet most of the contestants say it’s worth the effort．A former Miss Universe is now mayor of a district in a large city．Although she had no political experience before that, she has been asked to run for higher political office．Another winner has her own television show．Winners have an advantage they could not get anywhere else．“It’s the only chance you have to make it,” says one contestant．“You can’t get these opportunities any other way．”

    along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied

    Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
    service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
    are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
    to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
    tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
    booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
