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 or drinks. But then in 1930, a woman called Ellen Church invented the "stewardess".
Ellen Church was born in 1904 0n 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 Amelia Earhart 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 l, 000 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.
6. The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that_______.
A. the word "stewardess" was made up by Ellen Church
B. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane
C. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a plane
D. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane
7. From the second paragraph, we learn that_______.
A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girls
B. Ellen's family was not rich enough to support her education
C. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital
D. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely
8. The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was_______.
A. her flying experience B. her university education
C. her nursing experience D. her life attitudes
9. According to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to_____ if she wanted to be a stewardess.
A. be a nurse B. be married C. be a mother D. be young
10. The passage mainly talks about_______.
A. the background of early flying pilots B. the experience of flying passengers
C. the history of early flight attendants D. the development of airplanes

Love is a two - way street
A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced: "Dad, because today is your birthday and you're 40 years old, I'm going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!" When the boy started making good on his word (履行诺言 ) , the father shouted: "Andrew, don’t do it now. I'm too busy! "
The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said: "You can finish later. The boy said nothing but quietly walked away." That evening the father said: "Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!" But the boy didn’t.
Unfortunately, a few days later after the father's birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote: "If only(要是...,该多好)i could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting."
Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a "NO" and it can leave a scar(伤痕). If we don't receive love, our life will lose its true meaning. Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us .

Ⅵ.Growing up with good books
My dear friends,
Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds, but also make us cleverer and happier. Our study can be improved if we read more good books. The more we read, the more we will learn, and the brighter our future will become.
However, some students spend much time listening to music, watching TV or going online to play games. It takes much of their spare time. So I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books, especially the classics so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the world.
Let's start reading now. And let it become a part of our life!
