For a lot of people, stewardesses are the face of the airline. They have long associated with ideas of beauty, handsome salaries, free to travel and a glamorous lifestyle. They wear fashionable clothes, always look like models and take the advantage of the job to travel to different parts of the world. Furthermore, being a stewardess can also be very tired and difficult. Stewardesses, most of their working hours are spent on the plane, don't get up or go to bed at regular hour. Often they work very long hours comparing to most people. They usually needed to arrive at the airport well before their flight leaves. Although being a stewardess can be difficult, they still take pride and pleasure on their jobs.

Why do people choose organic food?
Organic food is fruits and vegetables that 1. (grow) without adding any agricultural chemicals to them. Many people choose to eat organic food because they believe that such fruits and vegetables contain more nutrition, 2. (be) free of chemicals and taste better.
According to two former 3.(analysis), organic fruits and vegetables are healthier for us 4. they have more nutrition in them. On average, fresh organic fruits and vegetables contain 50 percent more vitamins and minerals than food 5.(treat) with chemicals. All of these things are necessary for our health.
Organic food doesn't contain chemicals. When growing organic crops, farmers do not use sprays to kill pests, 6. do they use chemicals to make the crops grow faster. However, chemicals may be used in 7.(convention) produce to make them appear brighter, taste sweeter or last longer. A small amount of these chemicals may remain on the produce, and then accumulate in our bodies,8.(cause) health problems, such as heart disease and cancer.
Finally, many people argue that since organic food is planted without adding chemicals,9. tastes much better. All this has led many 10. the conclusion that organic fruits and vegetables are the best and healthiest choice for us.

Whether you are racing or touring, long-distance cycling can be very rewarding. 1. In general, it is more important to prepare your mind and your gear (齿轮) for the challenge ahead than it is to train your body. The best way to physically train for a long cycling trip is to take a long cycling trip! There are several steps for you.
Stretch first! Warm up for at least ten minutes before each long-distance cycling session. 2. This way, you can reduce the risk of injury.
Pace yourself. 3. Try to keep up this pace as best you can. Use a lower gear so that you don't wear yourself out. Try to keep up a rate of roughly 90 rpm(revolutions［旋转］per minute) on a low gear to go easy on your muscles and lungs.
Shift gears. When you come to a hill, change into a lower gear so that you can more easily reach the top. 4. Throughout the ride, stay aware of how hard you are working. If you are struggling to push the pedals (踏板), you should switch into a lower gear to conserve your energy.
5. Even if you feel strong, stop every 10-20 miles to give your body a rest and ensure that everything is running smoothly. Rehydrate (补水) by drinking some water, and boost your energy levels with a quick snack. Keep doing so until you arrive at your destination.
A. Take regular breaks.
B. You are sure to face some challenges during your cycling.
C. You should make better use of gears.
D. Try some exercises like jumping and jogging in place.
E. When going down, you should change to a higher gear.
F. It trains your body and provides a chance to appreciate the beauty along the road.
G. Start cycling at a speed which suits you.
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”

“In life, we're often torn between the person we want to be and the person we ought to be. Yet, while many hesitate to take the risks associated with becoming their ideal selves”, a new study notes that people unavoidably regret not pursuing their passion.
Inspired by research published in the 1990s, psychologist Thomas Gilovich along with his colleague Shai Davidai built upon his original study, which proved that regrets often evolve from what people haven't done. According to the new research, our most enduring regrets grow from not living up to our ideal selves, as opposed to not living according to our “ought selves” (the people we should have been based on our duties and responsibilities).
Researchers began by explaining the difference between regrets concerning the “ideal self” and the “ought self”, before asking participants to list, name, and categorize their regrets. Across the six different studies conducted, participants said they experienced regrets concerning their ideal selves more often. They also mentioned more ideal-self regrets than ought-self regrets when asked to list their regrets in life. When asked to name their single biggest regret in life, participants were also more likely to mention a regret about not fulfilling their ideal selves than their ought selves.
However, Gilovich and Davidai still recommend that people move on with caution, as the best way to live depends on how much weight you attach to your ought self vs. your ideal self. “If you place a premium on your ought self, you would be wise to minimize (your) regrets by thinking twice before moving forward (and seizing the moment). ” they suggest. “However, if one is an adventurous soul guided by her ideal self, she might indeed end up happier by seizing the day and not looking back. ”
Despite this research, however, knowing what you want and pursuing that passion are two different things. Mark Twain's words may give you the courage to go for your goals：
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines (帆脚索), sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
1.How did the researchers get their new findings?
A.By analyzing their six previous studies.
B.By asking people to explain what regret is.
C.By looking into the content of people's regrets.
D.By comparing people's regrettable and fulfilling experiences.
2.What can we know about the “ideal self” and the “ought self” according to the researchers?
A.They are equally important aspects in people's lives.
B.It's very difficult for people to choose between them.
C.The choice between them can affect people's lifestyles.
D.People may choose one and change to the other in life.
3.What does the underlined part “place a premium on” in Para. 4 mean?
A.Value. B.Know.
C.Ignore. D.Refuse.
4.What may the author advise us to do?
A.Never regret anything in life.
B.Look back now and then in life.
C.Be patient when going for our goals.
D.Do what we want to without hesitation.
