26、   If you cannot afford to travel in any class above economy, flying generally sucks (恶心), either a little or a lot, depending on your tolerance level. But it especially sucks if you are too wide for the airlines design.

Just getting to your seat can be a challenge, as your hips (臀部) bounce from seat to seat on each side of the aisle(过道). If someone is standing up to put things in the overhead locker, there is a decision to be made about whether it’s worth trying to squeeze past. Everything is just slightly too small: the seats, the overhead lockers, even the bathrooms—and those, it seems, are getting even smaller.

The Washington Post recently reported that, on some newer planes flown by American, Delta and United airlines, the bathrooms in economy class are just 61 cm wide: about 25 cm narrower than the average portable toilet, and roughly the width of the average dishwasher. Your face might be the only thing you can poke in there comfortably—which makes it a poor design, considering what a passenger is likely to need the bathroom for.

According to the manufacturer, these “Advanced Spacewell” bathrooms make space for six additional passengers, which is great for the airlines’ financial bottom line. But what about the other bottom line? Concerning, well, bottoms(臀部) that can’t fit into their planes’ bathrooms?

As bodies get bigger and aeroplane spaces get smaller, fat people among us have come up with solutions. Armrests that turn us into sausages (香肠) can be pulled up, or slowly encased (围住; 包起) into the soft flesh of our sides until we go numb(麻木的). We can ask the flight attendant to get us a seat-belt extender, if security has confiscated the one we brought with us, as can sometimes happen. But squeezing into a tiny toilet and closing the door behind us? Not workable.

Unlike the impossible task of squeezing down the aisle to your seat, or the side-to-side dance necessary to get big hips past the armrests, fitting into a space just 61 cm wide is not just a challenge—it is almost impossible. It is not like missing out on an option for the in-flight meal—a bathroom is as essential as a safety-compliant seat belt, or the air that is pumped into the cabin(飞机舱). If airlines are not willing to make space for us，bigger passengers may have no option but to reconsider booking a flight at all.

【1】What is the advantage of the new toilets?

A.All passengers can use them at the same time.

B.They are more comfortable.

C.The airlines can increase their profits.

D.They are practical and convenient.

【2】What does the underlined word “confiscated” mean?

A.Taken. B.Questioned.

C.Checked. D.Provided.

【3】What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Fat people can deal with many problems they face on planes.

B.Flight attendants are likely to be helpful when asked for assistance.

C.Flying is pleasant for overweight people at present.

D.People’s bodies are getting bigger year by year.

【4】The author believes that bigger passengers______.

A.will have to find more creative solutions in the future

B.might be unable to travel by air in the future

C.should miss out on the option for the in-flight meal

D.should grasp the chance to lose weight before flying

27、As online technology advanced, web sites, podcasts, and blogs became powerful sources of information that allowed everyone to stay updated on any subject imaginable. Although all of these information sources remain popular, there's a new king of media and it's online video.

There are many reasons why online video has increased suddenly over the past few years. The first is increasing data speeds. It wasn't until recently that people everywhere had fast enough online connections to enjoy high-definition （高清）videos. However, once faster Internet speeds were provided, people quickly fell in love with online videos. The second reason why online videos have become so popular is convenience. Watching videos requires less effort and energy than reading through paragraphs of text after a day of hard work. Videos also seem to provide more satisfaction, as people prefer to connect with people they can hear and see, as against the words of some author whom they know little about.

Advancing digital technology has also helped, as it has made sharing videos easier and more convenient than ever. High-powered smartphones and more affordable video cameras allow anyone to easily record an event or give a few comments about a scorching topic that is on their mind. Meanwhile, sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and Ustream allow users to quickly upload their videos and share them with friends, family, and the general public if they wish.

Last but not least, advertising. Companies have made it easy for people to get rewarded for creating popular videos. Some people with large enough fan bases can even make a very wealthy living by uploading a few videos every week.

The future also looks bright for companies who post online video ads. In fact, new software allows them to watch viewers' emotional reactions to their content through the users' webcams （网络摄像机）.They'll be able to see whether users laugh, cry, or feel bored during videos, so they can adjust their ads. This should prove extremely helpful, as there will be millions of videos competing for viewers' attention.

【1】Why do some people prefer watching videos to reading after work?

A．It helps them review the news.

B．It helps them get information with relative ease.

C．It provides them more information.

D．It helps them save time.

【2】What does the underlined word "scorching" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Unusual.

B．Future.

C．Hot.

D．Social.

【3】How will the software mentioned in the last paragraph help companies in the future?

A．It will enable them to better understand what customers enjoy.

B．It will let more viewers see the advertisements they make.

C．It will cause viewers to create more popular videos.

D．It will make people like their videos.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Online Video:   The New King of Media

B．Online Technology is Developing Fast

C．Online Video:   A New Advertising Trend

D．Online Technology is Closely Related to People
