When you fly, fly with Bel Air
People who travel a lot fly with Bel Air, because they know they will get what they want.
They want to go quickly, and safely, across the country, across the sea, or right across the world----and they know Bel Air will take them where they want to go. Bel Air flies all the newest, and fastest planes, to more towns and cities, in more countries of the world, than any other airlines (航空公司) .
Do you want to go to Paris, Washington, Tokyo? Bel Air will take you there, at all times of the day or night, right through the week. But Bel Air flies not only to the big cities in the rich countries----we fly two or three times a week to towns and cities in the very heart of Asia, Africa and South America.
People who travel a lot fly with Bel Air, because they know they will leave on time, and arrive on time. They know that the food they will receive, and the films they will watch, will be of the very best.
Bel Air is second to none (首屈一指).

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 didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒險(xiǎn)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 pilot’s 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 man’s 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(延誤),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.
【小題1】The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.
| A．the word “stewardess” was made up by Ellen Church |
| B．Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane |
| C．Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a plane |
| D．Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane |
| A．Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girls |
| B．Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her education |
| C．Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital |
| D．Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely |
| A．her flying experience | B．her university education |
| C．her nursing experience | D．her life attitudes |
| A．be a nurse | B．be married | C．be a mother | D．be young |
| 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 |

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food any more,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”
But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, and Lieberman got the job.

C．often hold parties D．own a restaurant
2.The Food Network got to know Lieberman ________.

C．on a television program D．through his taped show
3.What does the word “charisma” underlined in the text refer to?
A．A way to show one’s achievement. B．Lieberman’s after-class interest.

B．He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals.
