21．If you thought pilots dimmedthe lights before takeoff to give you some shuteye, think （6分）（调暗）again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.
The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”
The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why
dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.
Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.
1、The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______. A．escape in time of emergency B．take a short break
C．create a comfortable atmosphere D．enjoy themselves
2、Which of the following is True according to Paragragh 2 and 3? A．Dimming lights is required when accidents happen. B．Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light. C．Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights. D．It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight. 3、What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time? A．Slowing down the landing. B．Adjusting the plane lights. C．Keeping passengers calm.
D．Helping the crew judge outside risks. 4、What is the text mainly about? A．A tip to make air travel safer.
B．An emergency event happening on a plane. C．An explanation of an airline safety measure. D．A warning message from the pilot.
22． I've just got to talk about this problem I'm having with my postman. It all began a year （8分）ago，after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude，I asked him about the baby. The next week，not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before. I asked all about the baby again. Now I can't break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words \？\？The answer is that I want
him to like me. Come to think of it，I want everyone to like me.
My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: \；he talks at me rather than to me，never listen to a word I say，and yet for some reason I'm always really nice to him. I'm worried in case I have a difficulty one day，and he won't lift a finger to help. \
What about at work？Richard Lawton，a management trainer，warns: \actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff，treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning. \，Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who，after making one of his managers fired，said with moist（湿润的）eyes that he was so，so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied\，I wouldn't be leaving. \，therefore，that if you try too hard to be liked，people won't like you.
The experts say it all starts in childhood. \being good，\，a marriage guidance consultant，\and become compulsive（难以抑制的）givers. \，the world not being exactly short of takers？Anne Cousins believes there is. %unhealthy，\
