    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

    　　In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning．It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous．In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers．Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers' luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks．But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”．

    　　Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa．She was a different child．She didn't want to work on a farm or marry a farmer －she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life．Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital．For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot's license．

    　　Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport．She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man's world．Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot．But she had another idea．Most people were frightened of flying because．flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel．There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick．Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B．A．T．agreed．

    　　The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses．

    　　At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses．In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines．The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim．When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children．It was hard job and not well paid They worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour．

    　　In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes．Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants．They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past．

    A passenger told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off. She told him that she would bring him the water in ten minutes. Thirty minutes later, when the passenger’s ring for service sounded, the air hostess flew busily. She was kept so busy that she forgot to give him the water. As a result, the passenger was held up to take his medicine. She hurried over to him with a cup of water, but he refused it.
    In the following hours on the flight, each time the airline hostess passed the passenger she would ask him with a smile whether he needed help or not. But the passenger never paid attention to her. When he was going to get off the plane, the passenger asked the airline hostess to hand him the passengers’ brochure（小册子）. She was very sad. She knew that he would write down sharp words, but with a smile she handed it to him. Off the plane, she opened the booklet, and broke a smile, for the passenger put it, “On the flight, you asked me whether I need help or not for twelve times in all. How can I refuse your twelve sincere smiles?” That’s right! Who can refuse your twelve sincere smiles from a person?
