I have never traveled by plane but I would like to. Anyway, one can find advantages and disadvantages when traveling by plane.
The most important advantage is that it is the fastest way of transport when you take a long-distance travel. One can arrive in Spain in almost two hours and a half by plane. He can’t even realize time passing and he has arrived at his destination. He does not have to wait three days in order to arrive in Spain by coach (长途公共汽车), which makes him feel pain in his legs and feel tired.
Then, think about the conditions. We are attended by a beautiful hostess who will take care of us on the flight. The comfort helps us forget about the possibility of some technical problems.
Anyway, many people feel scared when it comes to flying in a plane.They say that the risks of losing your life in plane travel are higher than in car travel.
Apart from this disadvantage, there are people who don’t choose to travel by plane because they get altitude sickness and they think air fares are too high.
One piece of advice I would like to give to people who choose to travel by plane is that they should not even think for a second about the plane crashing. Just relax, be comfortable and everything will be all right. Planes are well equipped and advanced technology tries to offer perfect protection to all passengers.
4. The passage tells us ________.
A. the advantages of traveling by plane
B. the disadvantages of taking a plane
C. the comfort of traveling by plane
D. both advantages and disadvantages of traveling by plane
5. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people don’t like to travel by plane?
A. The risk of losing life is higher by plane.
B. Some people have altitude sickness.
C. It costs more to take a plane.
D. They can’t have a good sleep on
a plane.
6. What’s the author’s attitude towards plane travel?
A. She is fond of it.
B. She is against it.
C. She thinks it not reliable.
D. She is worried about it.
7.What advice does the author give in the passage?
