Juan Trippe was one of the pioneers of modern air travel. His company—Pan American Airways—w
as one of the first to offer cheap air travel round the world. Trippe was born in New Jery in 1889. After graduating from Yale in 1921, he worked first on Wall Street, and then as a flying taxi pilot. From 1924 to 1926 he worked for Colonial Air Transport, and t up Pan American Airways the following year.
At first, Pan Am offered flights across the Caribbean and South America. This was so successful that Trippe started to offer flights to Asia eight years later. In the late 1930s, he made the first flights to cross the Atlantic (大西洋). Immediately after the Second World War, Trippe decided to offer cheap flights to cross the Atlantic. Other airlines objected—they wanted to keep prices high, and earn the most profits. For veral years, many airports in Europe weren’t willing to accept Pan Am flights. The other airlines only finally agreed to offer economy flights in 1952.
Trippe started on his next project the same year—the development of the jet engine. This would make it possible for planes to fly over 8,000 kilometers at much higher speeds (more than 400 kilometers 1 hour). He paid Boeing 8.5 billion dollars to build pasnger jet planes for Pan Am. The first Pan Am—a Boeing 707—flew from New York to Paris in 1958.
In the 1960s, Trippe paid Boeing to build an even bigger jet, which could carry more pasngers. Thi
s was the 747, nicknamed the Jumbo jet. Unfortunately, Trippe ordered too many 747s and put Pan Am into financial (经济的) difficulties. In 1968 he resigned from the company. Thirteen years later he died.
19. What is the correct order in which the happened?
a. Pan Am offered flights across the Caribbean and South American.
b. Trippe worked for Colonial Air Transport and t up Pan Am.
c. The first Pan Am—a Boeing 707—flew from New York to Paris.
d. Many airports in Europe weren’t willing to accept Pan Am flights.

怎样做香肠You’re either a leg bouncer o r someone who gets intenly annoy ed by leg bouncing. There’s ldom an in-between.
Leg bouncing, also called leg tapping, leg jiggling or leg shaking, describes the habit of moving one leg up and down at speed while sitting. It can happen when sitting on public transport, or at home, watching TV. It can be unnoticeable or powerful enough to make the whole bank of desks in the office feel the shakes.
I’m a leg bouncer. It can be going for ages without me noticing, until I can suddenly feel the shakes all al ong my desk. I’ve noticed other people bouncing legs too, so it’s clearly not a habit that’s easily ignored (忽视).
Why does leg bouncing happen? Why is it more common among tho experiencing anxiety? “When we are feeling anxious, our body thinks that we’re in danger and prepare us to fight the stress, or run away from it.” Dawn Templeton says, “This means we are full of extra energy. Our muscles become busy working and that often leaks out (泄露) in the form of foot or hand shaking.”
Leg bouncing can be a way to feel calmer, helping you feel more relaxed when you’re experiencing high levels of stress. You can also be more likely to shake legs if you’re a “high energy” person.
The good news is that there’s no evidence (证据) to suggest leg shaking does your body any harm, beyond possibly making your muscles a bit painful. The habit is unlikely to cau any long-term damage to our posture, leg, or spine (脊柱).
The only real negative outcome of your leg bouncing is the annoyance it can cau to others.
23.Leg bouncing is _______.
A. a way to move desks
炸酱方便面B. an act that makes you strong
C. a habit of shaking legs
祝福老师的话语
D. an idea about watching TV
24.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 means _______.
A. body
B. danger
C. stress
D. energy
25.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Leg shaking isn’t good for our health.
B. We shake legs becau we feel relaxed.
C. The writer always notices his shaking legs.
D. Leg shaking sometimes makes others unhappy.
26.The purpo of this passage is to _______.
A. tell us some facts about leg shaking
B. ask others not to shake legs anymore
C. list the reasons why people shake legs
D. show different ideas about leg shaking
D
Your shoes are changing your feet. The ankles (脚踝) of people who habitually wear shoes are different to tho people who often walk barefoot. In many modern societies, people often wear shoes from a young age. However, many people around the world often go barefoot, or wear only very thin footwear.
“We know that there are some differences in the feet of modern humans, due to the u of shoes,” says Rita Sorrentino at the University of Bologna in Italy. But most findings before related to the front and middle of the foot. She and her team have focud on the ankle instead. They studied 142 ankle
bones from 11 populations from North America, Africa and Europe. The included sandal (草鞋)-wearing Nguni farmers in Africa, people living in New York and fossilized bones (骨骼化石) from Stone Age hunter-gatherers.
The hunter-gatherers’ ankle bones were shorter than tho people living in modern cities, and there were other differences in the shape. “They are mostly related to the behaviors of wearing and moving,” says Sorrentino.
The hunter-gatherers walked barefoot for long distances every day over natural areas. Their ankles were relatively flexible (灵活的
wear and walk short distances on flat roads, have more inflexible ankles.
It’s believed that people have been wearing shoes for the past 10,000 years, says Sorrentino. For example, a sandal from a Missouri cave may be 8,300 years old. Early shoes were all fairly soft, so wouldn’t have restricted the motion of the ankle much.
It is an open question if shoes have disadvantages, but Sorrentino thinks that modern shoes probabl
y cau our bones to become weaker and easier to break.
27.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Why people wear differently.
B. What the Sorrentino team studied.
C. Who often wear thin footwear.
D. How human shoes have changed.
A. In fact
B. For example
C. By the way
D. However
29. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. human behaviors usually have influence on ankle bones
B. the hunter-gatherers’ ankle bones have been easily broken
C. shoes have much more disadvantages than advantages
D. people in modern societies shouldn’t wear shoes anymore
30. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. the development of ankle bones
B. the differences between shoes
C. the relations between feet and shoes
D. the history of human shoes
