Airplanes are used to carry passengers, cargo and mail. Air transport companies run scheduled airlines and non-scheduled services over local, national, and international routes. The aircraft run by these companies change from small planes to large planes. .
The first air passenger services began in 1910, when dirigibles(飞艇)began working between several German cities. The first scheduled airplane service to carry passengers began in the US in 1914. Several experimental airmail flights took place in India, Europe, and the USA before World War I, but air transport services did not become a true business until after the war.
During World WarⅡintercontinental air transport began to become well set-up. After the war the new long-distance planes with developed equipment were increasingly able to prevent storms and strong wind and make flights cheap. Jumbo Jets began working in 1970.
During the 1970s the number of home passengers on US airlines increased about 78%, and during the 1980s the number was up about 58%. In 1990 there were 41. 8 million international passengers: the number was a 75% increase over 1980.
Major airports provide all kinds of services to make travel easy and pleasant for passengers. These change from such basic services as ticket-sales counters and restaurants to luxury(豪华的)hotels, shopping centers and play areas for children.

Tips for a Happier Workplace
You don’t have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be friendly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.
◆Give a happy “Hello! ”in the morning
Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore(忽视)you or avoid you. It’s really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.
◆Learn the art of small talk
Ask your co-workers about their interests—their favorite music, movies, and books, as well as their hobbies. Once you know what catches their imagination, pick up stories from newspapers or magazines to help start conversations.
◆Ask what they think
People love to be asked for their opinion, so go out of your way to ask, “What do you think of this report? ” or “How do you think I should deal with this situation? ”
◆Avoid gossip(流言飞语)So return the favor. When a co-worker walks towards you bearing a piece of gossip, respond(回应)with, “Really? ”and then change the subject or get back to work. If you don’t respond, the gossiper will move on.
◆
To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette(礼节). There’s nothing more frustrating(令人沮丧的)to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn’t just make their jobs harder; it also conveys(传达)an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.
| A．Stop complaining. |
| B．Return calls and emails immediately. |
| C．Then give the advice giver a silent thank-you. |
| D．Always work as hard as anyone working for you. |
E. You don’t want anyone talking about you behind your back, right?
F. Showing an interest in them will make them feel comfortable around you.
G. Get into the habit of greeting your co-workers with a smile as you arrive in the morning.

Some Simple Key* to Transform Your Life
The Power of choice
Every one of us makes countless choices every day. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives.When hunger strikes, we con reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the* Sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision,
the greater its effect. For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or :<mall, affects us in some way.
If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on what's best for all .Imagine
a world where every parent, friend, teacher, business person, and politician truly did their best to choose what's best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more raring, supportive world.
It's the intention.
The answer is simple. It doesn't matter. The matter itself is not the choice you make, hut rather the intention behind your choice. The key is that what decision you make. You an* dear in your intention of choosing based on what's best for all. If it later turns out that you seem to have made a bad choice, there's no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what's best for all, your conscience stays clear and open.
What's best for me, too!
Choosing what’s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others. Another example .a very exhausted mother can lose her temper easily and then she may become ill so that she can't support her family without earning any money. So as we move through each day of our lives, let us learn to care about ourselves as we do our best to choose what's best for others.
| A．How do you make choices? |
| B．Discuss them together to choose your project. |
| C．But how do I know what is really best? |
| D．What is important is that we should pay attention to this presence. |
E. So it is very important for you to take good care of yourself.
F. Even small or unimportant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel.
G. This then allows you to improve your decision, and make a right one.
