In many big cities, a lot of old people keep birds, cats, dogs and other animals in their houses. These animals are friendly to the old people and never leave them. So the old people love them and see them as their good friends or families.

It’s not difficult to keep these lovely animals at home. But you have to take them to animal hospitals to give them needles (注射), so they won’t get ill or they will make people ill. Now there are lots of animal food stores here and there. People can buy good animal food for their animals there. Old people can buy animal food on the phone or on the Internet. But it’s a little more expensive.

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article In The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations—in an airplane crash, for example.

The New York Times’ Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength（強(qiáng)度）— first set moe than 60 years ago — require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports:

“If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.”

“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’.”

Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies （人體模型）. Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.

Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.

1.What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with?

A. The size of airplane seats and seat belts.

B. Safety of overweight airplane passengers.

C. Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.

D. A medical problem caused by being overweight.

2.Robert Salzar would probably agree that .

A. overweight passengers should buy two seats

B. the government should help produce safer planes

C. standards for airplane seat strength should be raised

D. passengers should know how to protect themselves

3.We can learn from the text that .

A. airplane seat makers have taken action now

B. there are few complaints about airplane seats

C. those seate near the overweight may suffer too

D. only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Why Do Passengers Feel Anxious about Flying?

B. Will 42% of Americans Be OVERWEIGHT BY 2030?

C. When Will the Overweight Enjoy Their Flight?

D. Are Airplane Seats Safe Enough for the Overweight?

You may have done something wrong, but now you're willing to make things right. 1. If you want to make sure that your apology is effective and doesn’t cause even more hurt, follow the advice below to write a fantastic apology.

State what your letter is about. It’s a good idea to begin by letting them know that this letter is an apology. If you don’t want them to be confused about why you’re writing or what you’re going to say, say something like: “2.”.

State your mistake. Now that you’re apologizing, say what you’re apologizing for and why it was incorrect. 3.. By fully putting it out there in the open, the person that you’re apologizing to will know that you do really understand what you did.

4. This is one of the most important parts of an apology but can be the hardest to say. What you do need to do is admit your responsibility for your mistake openly and without reservation(保留). You might have had good reasons for doing what you did but that shouldn’t keep you from saying that your actions caused someone to get hurt.

Offer a solution that will lead to change. Just saying that you’re sorry isn’t really enough. What really gives an apology some power is finding a way to solve the problem in the future. 5.. When you offer a plan for change and how you’re going to go about it, this shows the person that you’re really serious about making the situation better.

A. I’m sorry if your feelings got hurt.

B. I want to write you a letter to apologize.

C. Accept responsibility.

D. Be very exact and descriptive.

E. An apology letter is a great way to start making amends(修補(bǔ))for a mistake.

F. It is never too late to make an apology.

G. This is better, even, than just saying that it will never happen again.
