9.Almost  everyone  has  experienced  moments  of  fear  while  flying.It's one of modern civilization's most common problems,claiming one of every six people.Some say it's an  apples-and-oranges comparison-but per mile,air travel is considerably safer than automobile  travel.In fact,a recent US National Safety Council  study shows flying to be 22times  safer than traveling by car.
Still,fear of  flying is a very real problem that can cause more than just unreasonable  feelings  of  fright.At worst,nervous fliers experience panic attacks,shortness of breath and accompanying dizziness(眩晕).However,with  mental discipline,most  sufferers can conquer their fear of flying.Here  are  some techniques  and  strategies:
Breathe deeply.Carry  note  cards  with positive words  to  help  you  stay focused.Just  a  few  words  like"Breathe…you'll be fine"can help.
Pretend you're on a bus.Just close your eyes and  imagine  you're  on a bus ride.Any turbulence(颠簸) can be  experienced  as"bumps on  the  road".
Avoid spreading your fear.Resist  the  temptation  to  have  a  conversation about your anxiety.Talking  about  it  might  encourage  others to share their bad travel experiences and that can only increase your own fear.
Take practical steps.Try to choose a seat where you'll have more room; sitting in the middle can add to claustrophobic(幽闭恐怖的)feelings.And stay cool so that your face feels refreshed.
Use prayer.Feel free to engage in prayer as a comforting way to cope with anxiety.If nothing else,it engages regions of the brain that might otherwise be absorbed in possible danger,
Knowledge is power.Arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible about security measures,traffic control,safety features and even how much goes into training a pilot.Soon you'll be flying without fear.

24.The underlined phrase"apples-and-oranges comparison"in Paragraph 1means that air travel and automobile travel areB.
A.exactly the same            
B.completely different
C.similar to each other         
D.dependent on each other
25.Which of the following can help conquer fear of flying?A
A.Learning more about air travel
B.Talking with others about the fear.
C.Keeping warm so that the mind is fresh.
D.Closing the eyes and having a good sleep.
26.If you are preparing note cards for air travel,what should appear on them?C
A.Why are you doing this?
B.Giving up is not shameful.
C.Cheer up!Everything will be OK.
D.How terrible this air travel is!Quit now!
27.The writer advises that on the plane one shouldD
A.sit wherever he likes          
B.have a seat in the back
C.choose to sit in the middle      
D.sit where there is enough room.
