Plan to get to the airport at least an hour early, or two during holidays and other busy times; this will reduce the stress of the flight. If all goes well, you will have time to relax, shop for last-minute items, or have a meal My before the flight.
Flight Delays
Find out why your flight is delayed. Call the free call numbers. Find out if other airlines are experiencing similar delays. If you believe the delay is due to something other than weather or air traffic problems, then mention your suspicion (怀疑) and ask the airline agent to book you on the next available flight, either on the same air-line or a competing one. This is called "Rule 240", and all airlines are required to do it.
Flight Cancellations (取消)
If your flight is canceled, then make a reservation(预订)on the next flight to your destination. Usually, air-line personnel(职员) will try to book everyone on their next flight. Often they will put you on a competitor's next flight only if you request it.
If on-time arrival is important to you, when you check flights through our reservation system you can rate your choices based on their on-time arrival records. Be sure to also check the weather conditions, as they often affect flight schedules.

We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to express our friendship or affection (love) to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward. Many questions go through our head. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I keep? Should our chests touch?
It’s even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?
But it isn’t just people from cultures that are conservative(保守的) in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing.Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress(pain) in people who value their personal space.
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture, Americans do seem to be hugging more. From politicians to celebrities(famous people), hugs are given to friends, strangers and enemies alike; whether they are willing or not; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.
Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability(亲和力)like a good hug. US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners.
But not all are grateful to be embraced(hugged), even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive(冒犯的) if it’s not sincere.
Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing(强加) hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance(主导) over those in their grasp.
Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an offender dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fashion in the US where “bosses are already embracing their staff (either shortly before or after firing them), men and women ,their friends or enemies, in a thousand cheating displays of unity”.
1.From the first third paragraphs, we can see that ___________.
A. we Chinese people don’t know how to hug
B hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly
C. people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging
D. people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness
2.The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that __________.
A. hugs are forbidden in England
B. she is much liked by American people
C. Americans hold a “medium touch ”culture
D. public figures know hugging functions well in public
3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “pick up the practice”?
A.Follow the trend.
B.Enjoy the medium touch culture.
C.Give hugs to enemies.
D.Resist physical touch.
4.What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Hugs, tricky affair? B. Hugs, vital or not?
C. Hugs and public figures D. Hugs and power
