A
Flying is a fast way to travel. But it is a big headache for some people. They can't help worrying about things like “Is it dangerous if we don't change our mobile phones to airplane mode(飞行模式) ” Here are some interesting facts about flying.
Why are plane windows round
It's for safety. As the airplane flies higher and higher, the atmospheric pressure (气压)outside gets lower and lower. During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside. When this happens, square (方形的) windows can break. That's because having different pressures inside and outside puts stress on the corners of square windows. But rounded corners can spread the pressure more evenly (均匀地) across the window's surface(表面), making it less likely to break.
What happens when a phone isn't in airplane mode
Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets need to be turned off because they can bring the plane down. However, this is not true. If you don't change your phone to airplane mode,pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones. This makes it harder for them to communicate. So it's still best to put your devices(设备) in airplane mode.

When we meet new people, we don't begin by telling them our life story. We start with small talk, like traffic or weather. People make small talk just about anywhere, but there are certain places where it is very common. Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. People with many different relationships use small talk. The most common type of people to use small talk are those who do not know each other at all. Though we often teach children not to talk to strangers, adults are expected to say at least a few words in certain situations.
Small talk can start new friendship. When we begin conversations with new people, we use small talk to find common interests. Small talk even helps people get a job. So, how can you make small talk lead to a new friendship or job
First of all, choose something around you that you share with the other person. Next, keep the conversations pliment (赞美) the other person to make him or her feel comfortable, and ask questions to show interest. Third, talking to strangers is not an easy thing for sh y people. But with more practice, small talk does get easier.
