On the night of 23 July, 2011, a fast running train D301 from Beijing to Fuzhou suddenly hit another train which had already stopped there. The motor car accident happened in Wenzhou, China's eastern province of Zhejiang. It caused four carriages to fall off a bridge which is at least 30 metres high from the ground. 40 people have died in the accident. Among them were 2 foreigners: an Italian woman, Assunta Liguori, and a Chinese American, Cao Erxing. So far, most of the 39 bodies have been claimed by their relatives, based on ID cards, clothes and other characteristics, but the results of DNA tests are coming out in about one week or two. Another 210 people have been taken to hospitals in Wenzhou after the accident.
The accident study shows that it is the lightning strike that caused the big accident: the first train lost power because of a lightning strike and had to stop on the rail way. And after a few minutes it was soon hit from the back by another train following it.
After the accident, questions have been raised over “what caused the accident” and “how to do with it”. During a visit to Wenzhou, where 39 people have been killed last weekend, Premier Wen calls for an transparent investigation into the cause of the accident, and he once again emphasized(强调) the importance of putting safety first in the country’s development.According to the report, _______ people got hurt in the accident.

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(乘客). 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 on 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 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 Emelia Earheart 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 1000 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 a 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.The underlined word “adventurous” means _____________.

It seems that women and beauty go together. I think so. Look around yourself. Fashion ads are almost everywhere. Whether they have realized or not, a sea of. fashion is all around women. They are made to think that without beautiful clothes they will look old and lose their charm(魅力）. So who doesn’t want to dress up to be beautiful and young?

A woman has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt”, but she can still be beautiful if she has excellent qualities like knowledge, a kind heart and great courage(勇气）.
