Everyone has an ambition(志向) to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency (旅行社),arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this,working in a small travel agency in the industrial city. Most of his work is concerned with holiday,both at home and abroad. Every autumn,the agency sends out hundreds of booklets (小册子) full of attractive,colored photographs,describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year. Soon,people begin to come into the office to book their holidays:perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January,perhaps a cruise (巡游) to the Caribbean in February,perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May,or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them,and they always have a lot of questions. Last year,for example,a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering (爬山) holiday in the Alps (阿尔卑斯山),and Brian had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end,she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead.
Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated,but Brian enjoys this work. For example,last spring Mr. Perry,a director of a chemical firm,went on a business trip,and Brian arranged it all for him. First,Mr. Perry traveled to London by train,and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport,because his plane left early the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt in Germany,where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich (苏黎世),where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning,he caught a plane for Tokyo,and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle (西雅图),Chicago and New York,and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York,he flew back to London,and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.
1.Who would like to work in a travel agency?

Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away - straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared (红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest (害虫)problems.
Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color - coded map showing where plants were running“ fevers”. Farmers could then spot - spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long - term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only ff Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
56.Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are________.
A. sprayed with pesticides B. facing an infrared scanner
C. in poor physical condition D. exposed to excessive sun rays
57.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to________.
A. estimate the damage to the crops B. measure the size of the affected area
C. draw a color -coded map D. locate the problem area
58.Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by________.
A. resorting to spot – spraying B. consulting infrared scanning experts
C. transforming poisoned rain D. detecting crop problems at an early stage
59.The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties________.,
A. the lack of official support B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production
60.Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of________.
A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
D. full support from agricultural experts
