NatCFlights are often ca nceled for many different reasons, including snow, clouds, or even a bird getting caught in an airplane’s engine (发动机). But you’d never thin that too much sunshine would stop a plane from taing off.Unlucily for passengers in Phoeni, US this summer, their travel plans went dead when more than 40 flights in and out of the local airport were cancelled after temperatures went as high as 48°C. This is the highest temperature that many smaller planes are allowed to fly at.So what is it that maes flying in great heat so dangerous? The answer lies in how “thic”, the air is.“As air warms up, it epands (膨胀), and there’s fewer molecules (分子) under your wings,”Lou McNally, a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the US, told the Associated Press (AP).When the temperature is high and the air becomes thin, “you need more of everything. You need more thrust (推力) to tae off. You need more distance to tae off. You need more distance toland. It gets to a point for some aircraft that it gets just too much,”McNally eplained.The US’Southwest, where Phoeni is located, is eperiencing an unepectedly hot summer. This June was its third-hottest on record. According to The Guardian, up to 10 people are thought to have died as a result of the hot weather.The unepected heat attaced airlines(航空公司) too, causing them to cancel all flights running on smaller planes for the safety of their passengers.But what about cities whose temperatures are high every summer?Many airlines in hot Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates mae many flights at night or in the early morning to avoid the problem of thin air, according to AP. They also mainly use larger planes, which are able to fly in greater heat than smaller planes.After the temperature in Phoeni continued to climb over 40°C all through the rest of the summer, maybe now would be a good time for airlines to buy bigger planes in time for net year’s heat wave.31. When the weather is too hot, ______.A. planes are more liely to brea downB. planes need more power and distance to tae offC. there is much more air under the wings of a planeD. it taes less time for planes to tae off and land32. How do airlines in Gulf countries deal with high temperatures?A. They mae many flights at midday.B. They mainly use small planes.C. They build long runways for planes.D. They mae fewer flights at midday.33. What’s the article mainly about?A. Flight accidents caused by great heat.B. Perfect flying conditions for aircraft.C. How dangerous the flights are in hot weather.D. How hot weather influences flights.DThe most awful words in the English language are, "Our computer is down." You hear itmore and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticet to Washington and the girl in the ticet office said, "I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticet. Our computer is down.""If your computer is down, just write me out a ticet.""I can't write you out a ticet. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."I looed down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drining coffee and looing at the blac screen. Then I ased her, "What do all you people do?""We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.""So when it goes down, you go down with it.""That's good, sir.""How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to now."I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There's no way we can find out without asing the computer, and since it's down it won't answer us."After the girl told me they had no bacup (备用) computer, I said. "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?""I couldn't tell without asing the computer.""Maybe I could just go to the gate and as the pilot if he's flying to Washington," I suggested."I wouldn't now what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't tae you if you didn't have a ticet.""Is there any other airline(航空公司) flying to Washington within the net few hours?""I wouldn't now," she said, pointing at the dar screen. "Only 'IT' nows. 'It' can't tell me."By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others iced their luggage (行李).34. The best title for the article is _____.A. The Most Awful WordsB. When the Computer Is DownC. The Computer of the AirportD. Asing the Computer35. What could the girl in the ticet office do for the passengers without asing the computer?A. She could sell a ticet.B.
