Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (20%)

Based on the information in the article, indicate whether each statement is true (T) false (F).

Have you ever thought about where uou should sit on an airplane? It is important to book your seat early so that you can select a seat that best serves your needs. Individuals traveling in first class and business class usually need to think about whether they want an isle seat or to sit next to a window or nest to the bulkhead, or wall.

If you are stuck in the economy section of the aircraft you must still consider whether you want a window, aisle or a seat next the bulkhead. You must also take into consideration many different factors. You should decide whether or not you want to be in the front or rear section of the aircraft. The advantage of being near the front of the plane is that you will be able to board and deplane quickly. However, if you want to get an empty seat next to you, you should get a seat towards the rear, since people are assigned seats from the front to the rear. Please don’t be discouraged if you end up with a center or middle seat since most airlines have seats that are little bit wider than the window or aisle seats.

Have you ever wanted to do something tremendous and earth shattering? You might think that you need to discover a cure for cancer, construct a humongous monument, or be the first to fly around the world in a hot air balloon for your activity to count as being remarkable. Actually there are many very simple acts of kindness that can completely save a person’s heart or life. My sister was recently touring German when she received some very devastating news. It was probably the worst news of her life. She was completely alone, in a strange land with no friends or family. A stranger, a big-sister-type figure, took her in and offered her both an ear and a cup of Earl Grey tea. That simple act gave my sister some of the courage that she needed to tackle her troubles. So the next time you want to do something great, simply take time to be kind o your fellow man or woman.

1 ____ If something is earth shattering, it is unimportant.

2 ____ A cure for cancer is noteworthy

3 ____ Simple acts are never great acts.

4 ____ The author’s sister was given some very bad news while she was traveling.
