Flying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortless——you just have to book your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport. You board the plane and several cocktails and movies later, you arrive at your destination, and hopefully, your baggage does too. Here are some tips on how to be a clever traveler.
Easy check-in
Avoid the queue and check yourself in by using the MAS Web Check-In (malaysiaairlines.com) in the comfort of your own home or office. Passengers can now check in online anytime from 24 hours to 90 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time. This is available for flights departing from all MAS stations ——except Paris, Kunming, Xiamen and Bandar Seri Begawan——to all MAS destinations. You can even select preferred seats online.
Bag hygiene
No, we’re not talking about the cleanliness of your bags! It’s the aviation talk for a bag that doesn’t carry any old baggage tags with barcodes that could confuse the baggage sensor(传感器).
If you find yourself arriving in Sydney while your bag lands in Tokyo, it could be because of your old baggage tag. Another reason why bags go missing could be the printing quality of the barcode; bags are misdirected because the sensors can’t read the codes correctly.
Less is more
Most airports around the world now set a weight limit of 32kg per piece of baggage. This will not only help protect the airline workers’ health, but also be easier for you to carry your bags around.
Avoid packing dangerous goods or placing valuables inside your check-in luggage. Ensure that locks are properly secured as a lot of baggage locks are found caught between the conveyor belts(传送带). Smaller and softer bags are usually placed inside a tray at check-in to protect the locks from contact with the conveyor belt.
小题1:According to the passage, airplane passengers ______.
A.can check in without going to the airport
B.have to check in 90 minutes earlier
C.are required to check in on the MAS web
D.can select their favorite seats when getting aboard
小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “hygiene” in the passage?
A.Disappearance.B.Protection.
C.Check. D.Cleanliness.
小题3:Why does baggage sometimes go missing according to the passage?
a. The bags are too old and dirty.
b. The sensors can’t read the barcodes correctly.
c. The old tag is still on the bag.
d. The bags are too heavy to check.
A.a, b B.b, c C.c, d D.b, d
小题4: Which of the following statements is TRUR about check-in baggage?
A.Each piece can weigh 30 kg at the most.
B.Smaller and softer bags should be separated from other ones.
C.Valuable things should be kept inside a tray.
D.Bags containing dangerous things can be caught on the conveyor belts.

The emperor penguin is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and lives in Antarctica. The male and female are similar in size, reaching 122 cm in height and weighing anywhere from 22 to 45 kg. The back and head are black, contrasting sharply with the pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ears. Like all penguins, it is flightless, with a streamlined body and their wings stiffen and flatten into flippers(鳍状肢) for a marine habitat.
Its diet consists primarily of fish, but can also include animals with hard shells. In hunting, the species can remain underwater up to 18 minutes, diving to a depth of 535 m. Its unusually structured hemoglobin(血红蛋白)allows it to function at low oxygen levels.
The emperor penguin is perhaps best known for the journeys adults make each year in order to mate and to feed their babies. The only penguin species that breeds(繁殖) during the Antarctic winter, it goes on a long journey of 50-120 km over the ice to breeding areas which may include thousands of individuals. The female lays a single egg, which is incubated(孵化)by the male while the female returns to the sea to feed; parents take turns searching for food at sea and caring for their chick. They both care for the chick until it is able to enter the water to find food on its own. During the process of incubation, the male can lose up to 1/3 to 1/2 of his body weight. One of the coolest things about the male is that if the chick comes out its egg before the female returns, the male can actually produce a special liquid to feed the chick. He can only do this for a short time. If the female doesn’t return, he must leave the chick to go on with his own life. The emperor penguin can typically live for 20 years in the wild, although observations suggest that some individual may live to 50 years of age.
小题1:We can learn from paragraph 1 that ____.
A.the emperor penguin is the world’s largest kind of penguin
B.the emperor penguin has pale-yellow ears
C.the male and female emperor penguins are of different sizes
D.the emperor penguin lives in the most northern area on the Earth
小题2:The emperor penguin can stay underwater for a long time mainly because of its ____.
A.strong wingsB.streamlined bodyC.structured hemoglobinD.special diet
小题3:The emperor penguin differs from other penguin species in that ____.
A.it gives birth in the Antarctic winterB.it feeds mainly on fish
C.the male won’t search for food on his ownD.it can only live for a short time
小题4:According to the passage, ____.
A.the egg of the emperor penguin is mainly incubated by the female
B.many emperor penguins will stay together to breed
C.the male emperor penguin will give up his own life to feed the chick
D.the female emperor penguin will leave the chick forever once it lays an egg

It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (灾难).
There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(缺乏) –bread, vegetables and other things – not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough plan and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital education or helping the old.
小题1:According to the writer, Britain is a country____.
A.which has regular snowB.which is not well prepared for snow
C.for which snow is not a catastropheD.for which snow is a wonder
小题2:The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except____
A.trafficB.communicationC.food suppliesD.service quality
小题3:After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because______
A.shops have closed downB.people buy as much as they can
C.farmers can’t produce any moreD.people eat more vegetables in winter
小题4:The first reason why the British don’t buy snow ploughs is that______
A.spreading salt is good enoughB.old people need more money
C.snow ploughs are not used oftenD.the hospital is more important

We"ve all heard the old saying,“Sticks and stones can break my bones,but words can never hurt me.” Don"t you believe it?Words are powerful,and they can hurt—a lot. In fact,if you"re not careful,you can even hurt yourself,by using the wrong word in your writing.
Recently a friend sent me a copy of an e-mail she received from the customer service department of her credit card company,after she contacted them with a question about her account. She was happy with their positive response. But as I read the e-mail,one line jumped out at me:“In lieu of good customer service...”
Did they really mean they were offering her a few extra reward points instead of good customer service?I doubt it. More likely,what the customer service department meant to say was,“Because good customer service is important to us...” followed by the details of what they were doing to make sure she remained a happy customer.
So why didn"t the writer say that?I can only guess that perhaps the writer liked the phrase “in lieu of”,thought it sounded more interesting than saying “because”,and so used it—without bothering to check the true meaning.
Have you ever done that?Try to impress others with a big word,only to find out you"ve used the word incorrectly?It"s just the opposite effect,isn"t it?You may impress people all right,but it"s not the impression you were going for.
When you write,remember to choose your words carefully. People may still disagree with what you say,but they won"t be able to dismiss you because you made careless mistakes in how you said it.
小题1:What"s the writer"s purpose in giving the saying?
A.To amuse the reader.B.To persuade the reader.
C.To support a conclusion.D.To lead to the topic.
小题2:What does the phrase “in lieu of” most probably mean?
A.Because ofB.In honour ofC.Instead ofD.In favour of
小题3:According to the writer,the customer service department ______.
A.didn"t prefer to use familiar words to attract customers
B.didn"t express what they really meant
C.didn"t need to offer their customers extra reward points
D.succeeded in impressing their customers
