	For many people, travel by plane is an exciting experience. Others, however, find the whole idea quite terrified, although flying is no more dangerous as any other form of travel and some experts says it is considerably safer. It is known, however, that most accident occur during take-off and landing when a pilot's decisions are vitally importance.
 The people whose job it is to look after the passengers – the stewards and stewardesses- play a important part on helping passengers to feel safe and comfortable. Indeed for many passenger being taken such care of is all part of the total experience. No other form of travel involves waiting on people in quite the same way, with food, drink, newspapers, magazines, music, and even video films.

IX. Read the following passage, and then answer the questions below.(5)
	A good memory is great help in learning a language. Everyone learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is still a small child. Some children like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents seem to learn two language almost as easy as one. In school it is not so easy to learn a second language because students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well.
	The best way for most of us to remember things is to join them in our mind with something which we know already, or which we easily remember because we have a picture of it in our mind. That is why it is better to learn words in sentences, not by themselves, or to see, or do, or feel what the word means when we first use it.
