9、to London.The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten your seat belts.Then,after a while,a calm voice said,We shall not be serving the drinks at this time as there is going to be something unexpected.Please be sure seat belt is fastened.Soon th
10、e storm broke out.One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air.The plane dropped as if it were about to crash.The minister believed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him.As he looked around the plane, he could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and a
11、larmed.The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm.Then he suddenly saw a little girl.Apparently the storm meant nothing to her.She was reading a book and everything within her small world was calm orderly.Sometimes she closed her eyes and then she would
12、 read again.Then she would straighten her legs,worry and fear were not in her world.The minister could hardly believe his eyes.It was not surprising therefore that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers hurried to leave,the minister walked up to the girl he had watched
13、 for such a long time.Having commented about the storm and the behavior of the plane,he asked why she had not been afraid.The girl replied,Because my dad is the pilot,and hes taking me home.21.Why did the staff stop offering drinks?A.The plane was just taking off.

16、 push an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on a bus,much less stand up and offer his seat to her,as he ought to.In fact,it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman,it is nearly always one from the older generation.This question of giving up s
17、eats in public transport is much argued by young men,who say that,since women have claimed equality,they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy and that those who go out to work should take their tum in the rat race like anyone else.Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men.E
18、ven if its not agreed,however,that young men should stand up for older women,the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old,the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a book,saying to ourselves F
19、irst come,first served,while a gray-haired woman,a mother with a young child or a cripple stands?Yet this is too often seen.Older people,tired and easy annoyed from a days work,arent angels,either-far from it.Many an argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as they feel tired of pushes in the que
20、ue and shove(猛推)each other to get on buses.If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all,however,it seems necessary,not only that communication in transport should be improved,but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. Shop assistant wont bother to
21、 assist,taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously round comers,bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus,and so on.It seems to us that its up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration(恶化).25.W

26、gist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy.Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face,while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.Interestingly,the dogs were
27、 not provided with the entire face.Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves.Thats because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the

29、angry expressions took a longer time to learn.They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting,causing them to withdraw quickly.However,once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded,the trepidation seemed to disappear.In fact,the dogs had such a good time playing the computer
30、game that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly.Since the touchscreen models were all females,this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.29.How did the scientists conduct the experiment?A.By mixing the selected dogs together.B.By l
