B

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 and 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 didnt 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 pilots 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 mans 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 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.

46. What can we learn about Ellen Church from Paragraph 1？

A. She was the first woman who flew a plane. B. She made up the word “stewardess”.

C. She was the first woman passenger on a plane. D. She was the first woman who worked on a plane.

47. From the second paragraph， we learn that ___ .

A. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital

B. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most other girls

C. Ellens family was not rich enough to support her education

D. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely

48. The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job probably was ___ .

A. her flying experience B. her university education

C. her nursing experience D. her life attitudes

49. In the 1940s， to be a stewardess， one had to ___ .

A. be a nurse B. be married C. be a mother D. be young

50. What does the passage mainly talk 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.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I work in a senior high school.        51        Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork， and sometimes with their friends. Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills， a teenager from Washington， agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life，” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we dont talk to someone， well certainly feel worse.”

Laura once lost her purse， and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didnt have any money. She just kept thinking， “If I tell my parents， theyll be angry！”        52        Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future！” Laura says.

53        He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to.        54        Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them， and are always there to help them.

In English， we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.        55

A. Students often have a lot of worries these days.

B. Worries can only bring about more worries.

C. What can you do to help them out of troubles？

D. Robert Hunt advises students about common problems.

E. This person doesnt need to be an expert like himself.
