     It was graduation day at Etihad Training Academy, where the national airline of the United Arab Emirates
holds a seven-week training course for new flight attendants.
     Despite her obvious pride, Ms. Fathi, a 22-year-old from Egypt, was amazed to find herself here. "I never
in my life thought I"d work abroad," said Ms. Fathi, who was a university student in Cairo when she began
noticing newspaper advertisements employing young Egyptians to work at airlines based in the Persian Gulf.
     A decade ago, unmarried Arab women like Ms. Fathi, working outside their home countries, were rare.
But just as young men from poor Arab nations poured into the oil-rich Persian Gulf states for jobs, more
young women are doing so.
     Flight attendants have become the public face of the new mobility for some young Arab women, just as
they were the face of new freedoms for women in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. They have
become a subject of social anxiety and fascination in much the same way.
     For many families, allowing a daughter to work may call her virtue into question. Yet this culture is
changing, said Musa Shteiwi, a sociologist at Jordan University in Amman. "We"re noticing more and more
single women going to the gulf these days," he said. "It"s still not exactly common, but over the last four or
five years it"s become quite an observable phenomenon."
     Many of the young Arab women working in the Persian Gulf take delight in their status as pioneers, role
models for their friends and younger female relatives. Young women brought up in a culture that highly values
community, have learned to see themselves as individuals. The experience of living independently and working
hard for high salaries has forever changed their beliefs about themselves, though it can also lead to a painful
sense of separation from their home countries and their families. 
                                                                                         -From New York Times (December 22, 2009)

     BEIJING, China (CNN)-Chinese workers and army soldiers were racing to sweep snow-covered highways
and railway routes for millions of travelers trapped by cold weather. 
     More than 67 million people have been affected by the weather and economic losses are expected to reach
as much as $3 billion, Chinese officials say. 
     In the past week, the snowstorms have hit the provinces in central, eastern and southern China-places that
used to have mild winters. 
     "We"ve never seen such a cold weather lasting for such a long time," said Tang Shan, a man in his 70s
Changsha, Hunan Province. "The last time we had one here was over 50 years ago, and not this bad." 
     The snow has blocked roads, railways and airports, leaving tens of millions of travelers stranded (滞留),
officials say. Many of them are going home ahead of the traditional Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring
Festival.

     In the southern city of Guangzhou, as many as 500,000 train passengers were stranded in the past few
days when a power failure in neighboring Hunan seriously damaged the regular train services, local officials
said. About 100,000 passengers crowded the square in front of the train station, while others found shelter
in schools and other public buildings while waiting for their trains. 
     More terrible weather is expected. China"s weather office on Monday issued a warning of more severe (恶
劣的) snowstorms in the coming days. If so, the number of stranded travelers will surely increase.

     EDGEWOOD-Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment:
the district"s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.
     Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then,
during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.
     By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.
     "Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good," Christy McKinley, a second year student,
announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.
     The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students
are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.

and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.
     Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program
at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.

coffee? What about sugar content?
     Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat
milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines.
     The whole school has joined in to help.
     Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop
on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.
