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 didnt want to work on a farm or marry a farmer she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)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 pilots 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 mans 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(延误),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.（1）The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _.A . the word “stewardess” was made up by Ellen ChurchB .

But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didnt get along well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy bought her a present, too. It was his mothers perfume(香水).Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my mom used to.” After the children left she cried for an hour. On that very day, she stopped being busy teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to care more about the children.Mrs. Thompson paid more attention to Teddy. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of Grade 6, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he had ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D.(医学博士).The story doesnt end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard said, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel good about myself and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, said, “Teddy, you have it all wrong.

Its catching on all over the world. More and more people decide to “go green” because they know that we only have one planet to live on. We wont be able to live on it much longer if we keep wasting energy, and destroying(破坏) our home with air, land, and water pollution.“Green Living” means:Understanding that your choices affect(影响) not just you, but everybody everywhere.Understanding that your choices affect not just today, but the future.Understanding that when we talk about “saving the planet” or “saving the environment,” we are actually talking about saving ourselves!You may be thinking: “Hey, Im just one person, on a planet with billions. I cant really make a difference.” Well, have you ever seen a group of people do “the wave(波浪)”? It always starts off with one or two people, jumping up and down like crazy. Soon thousands of people are joining in. “Going green” is just like that. It starts with small, simple actions. It can soon build into a wave that will change the whole planet and lead us all to healthier, happier lives.Many students have already shared with us their efforts to help the environment:Gabrielle, 12, writes, “I have helped my community plant a garden and I ride my bike or skateboard to school.”Kaitlyn, 10, says, “Lots of paper towels are thrown away, so I use a reusable cloth towel to dry my hands instead.”“I always recycle(重复利用)” says Natalie, 13. “You can call me a recycler! I always look at the bottom of things. I want to see whether they have the little sign that tells you it can be recycled. So I almost recycle everything!”Now its your turn to think about how you can “go green”. Make important choices and take actions to improve the environment right around you and the health of the whole world.（1）What does the expression “catch on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A . Go worse.B . Come to an end.C . Get help.D . Become popular.（2）From the passage we can learn that _.A . our choices cant affect the futureB . one person cant make a differenceC . our planet is destroyed by pollutionD . going green starts with small actions（3）The writer may agree that _.A . going green is hard for studentsB . going green means changing othersC . going green is actually a choiceD . going green remains far away from us5. （10分）根据短文理解，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳答案填空。 Anne is a newspaper reporter.
