early and those who stroll in as the plane is about to take off.2 If there were any justice in this world,the early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing.And the late-airport people would be punished.3 But there is no justice.The early-airport people get ulcers,heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone.第10页第10页TextUnit 10 Air Travel4 The late-airport people barely are aware they are flying.5 I once found myself in an airport bar with a man on the same flight as me.Our flight had been called three times,but he insisted we stay for another round.6“If we miss this one,theres always another plane in an hour,”he said,signaling for two more drinks.7 “To Dhahran,Saudi Arabia?”I said.“There isnt another flight for a week.”第11页第11页TextUnit 10 Air Travel 8“I have a theory,”he said.“If you miss your flight,its because God didnt want you to go.”9 This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.10 Early-airport people suffer another abuse.They are called exactly what they are:wimps.11 I know I was an early-airport person for years.12 My luggage will get on the plane first,I told myself.13 Indeed it will.Which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane when you land.第12页第12页TextUnit 10 Air Travel14 You know who really gets his luggage first?The late-airport person,who saunters into the airport three minutes before the plane takes off.15 The pilot is practically in the air when these people are still paying off the taxi.16 Then they make a big fuss at the gate in order to get their luggage on board.17 And when we finally take off,all us wimps know that not only will that late luggage be the first off the plane,but it is probably sitting on top of our luggage,crushing our shirts.第13页第13页TextUnit 10 Air Travel18 But if I get there real,real early,I told my old wimpy self,I will get the best seat.19 Well,just try to show up early and get the seat you want.Go ahead and try.20 No matter how early I show up,I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for that seat.21 I figured it was a conspiracy.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said:“Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today?If he is,give me his seat.”第14页第14页TextUnit 10 Air Travel 22 The ultimate embarrassment of the early-airport person happened to me a few years ago when I was flying from La Guardia to OHare.23 When I got to the ticket counter,the person there said:“Sir,you have a seat on the 9:15 a.m.flight to Chicago,is that right?”24“Yes,”I said.25“Well,its only 7 a.m.,and the 7:05 a.m.flight has not left yet.If you hurry,you can make it.”26 I was too embarrassed to say that I arrived at airports early so I wouldnt have to hurry.Instead,I ran down the corridor to the plane.第15页第15页TextUnit 10 Air Travel27I climbed on board,out of breath,red-faced,and stumbled over a womans legs to get to the last unoccupied seat.28 The woman I stepped over was no wimp.She had the guts to complain.“You should get to the airport earlier!”she snapped at me.29 “I was here early,”I said weakly.“But then somehow I wasnt anymore.”30 After a lifetime of arguing over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead,I have learned one other fact about early-airport people and late-airport people:31 They always marry each other.第16页第16页Unit 10 Air Travel1.History of flight During the late 1700s,people made their first flights into the air using balloons,which were an early form of airship.After the first balloon flights,inventors tried to develop a heavier than air flying machine.Some inventors experimented with gliders(engineless planes).They studied birds wings and discovered that the wings are curved.By building gliders with curved wings instead of flat ones,they could make the vehicles fly hundreds of feet or meters.But long distance flight in a heavier-than-air machine did not become possible until the invention of an engine light enough but powerful enough to keep a plane in flight.Background Information第17页第17页Unit 10 Air Travel The first such engines were four stroke gasoline engines,developed during the 1880s and initially used to power bicycles,boats,and carriages.In 1903,the brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright two American bicycle makers made the first successful powered airplane flights in history near Kitty Hawk,North Carolina.After the Wright brothers success,pilots and inventors worked continually to improve airplane design.By the late 1950s,passenger planes with jet engines had brought all countries within easy reach of one another,and the world seemed much smaller than it had been just a few years before.Background Information第18页第18页Unit 10 Air Travel2.Impact of air travel on human life For all of history,humanity had seen the world from the ground.It had relied solely upon transportation that moved across the ground and over or around its obstacles.When Orville and Wilbur Wright flew historys first airplane for 120 short feet(36 and 1/2 meters)in North Carolina in 1903,the significance of their new invention was of course not yet apparent.The first passenger planes,barely 20 years later,did little to change that view.In 1927,Lindberghs transatlantic flight captured Americas imagination.Further developments during World War II sped the development of commercial aviation.Airplane manufacturers Douglas and Boeing built new airplanes with pressurized and heated cabins.Suddenly airplanes could fly above bad weather and mountains,where the air and thus the ride were smoother.Background Information第19页第19页Unit 10 Air TravelIn 1940,three million Americans flew.By 1956,55 million flew.The first jet airliner,the Boeing 707,was introduced in 1959.It cut flying time between New York and London from twelve hours to six hours.But by the 1960s,air travelers were still mostly wealthy people and business people on expense accounts.Ordinary people could not afford to fly,to see their loved ones in other cities,or visit exciting vacation spots.However,by 1990,more adult Americans had flown than owned a car.Background Information第20页第20页Unit 10 Air TravelAlong with highways,the Internet,and cable and satellite television,widely available air travel has helped connect people with the world outside of their own communities.Air travel has had a profound impact,both material and social,on our life.It has affected the way we live,the way we view ourselves and the world around us,and the way we do business.Although difficult to measure,aviations history suggests that it has contributed to widespread awareness of and connection to people and places very different from ones own.Background Information第21页第21页Unit 10 Air Travel3.Airline industry in ChinaAirline industry in China developed very rapidly over the last 50 years,as domestic routes increased from 12 to 1,115 and international routes increased from nine cities in five countries to 64 cities in 34 countries.Until 1979,air travel was still quite rare.During the last two decades,more than 40 new airports were built and more than 60 were upgraded and expanded.In 1978,China ranked 32nd among ICAO covenant countries in passenger volume and ranks 6th today.It is estimated that the passenger volume of Chinas air transportation will grow at an average annual rate of 8.5%between and,reaching the annual volume of 438.7 billion kilometers.Background Information第22页第22页Unit 10 Air TravelChina is a permanent member of the International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO),an agency of the United Nations established in 1947 to assist in the planning and development of international air transport,and is a party to many other intentional aviation conventions.Fifty seven air companies from 43 countries operate air services in 13 Chinese cities.Prior to,China had 31 international,regional,and domestic carriers,most of which were small and inefficient.Since mid,the three newly formed groups(China Southern,China Eastern,and Air China)have become the dominant players and collectively command 80.5%of the passenger and 84.7%of the freight markets.Background Information第23页第23页Unit 10 Air TravelThese three major competitors have developed brand loyalty and are selected as the preferred carriers by the Chinese traveling public.One of the major limitations to the airline industrys growth is the lack of availability of airports and the related infrastructure that is required for the airlines to provide the air transportation services.Since 1987,Chinese government spent RMB 39.2 billion(US$4.72 billion)in constructing air infrastructure.Airline industry(airline companies and airports)has also been instituting significant changes to improve the infrastructure,especially to help customers acquire tickets and make informed decisions.Background Information第24页第24页Unit 10 Air Travel4.Air travel tipsAir travel today isnt as easy as it used to be.There are more questions,options,and concerns than ever.Will you be able to get an affordable seat?How many carry-ons can you bring on the plane?How long should you expect to be detained at security?What kinds of identification are absolutely required for domestic and international travel?To make air travel less intimidating,weve outlined some of the things to consider:Background Information第25页第25页Unit 10 Air TravelpConfirm flight times and dates for all portions of your trip to make sure that it matches up with your information.pMake copies of your air travel itinerary and leave a copy with your workplace and family members or friends.pProvide your travel agent or airline with phone numbers where you can be reached during your travels,in addition to giving these phone numbers to your workplace and family or friends.Also include hotel addresses and contact numbers.pMake sure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your return dates of travel.Background Information第26页第26页Unit 10 Air TravelpWhen traveling internationally make sure that you have any visas that may be required.Verify if there are business or tourist visas and which one best suits the purpose of your travel.pDo make photocopies of your passport,visas and any other pertinent travel documents.Pack copies in your luggage as well as leaving copies with your workplace,family and/or friends.pBring a copy of your medical history with you.This could simply involve listing any medical conditions,blood type,etc.pIf you are traveling internationally try to have key phrases written in the local language such as“help”,or“I need to see a doctorthe police”.Background Information第27页第27页New Words and ExpressionsUnit 10 Air Travel New
