Travel can be fun, but when you have to move in a disability, getting from point A to point B can become frustrating. Airlines know this and do their part to make air travel as comfortable as they can for every passenger.
Here are some tips and information on what major airlines do for travelers who need extra support when flying.
United
When flying with United, call the airline's disability desk (1-800-228-2744) 48 hours in advance of travel if you'll be traveling with an assistive device so they can ensure your device can be used in-flight. Any special needs you have should be mentioned when you make your reservation so the airline staff can do their best to help you. This includes the need for assistance getting to your gate, boarding, getting to your seat, deplaning or connecting.
Delta
Depending on the type and age of the aircraft, accessible features of Delta's aircraft include movable armrests of seats, wheelchair space, on-board wheelchairs and, on larger airplanes, wheelchair-accessible washrooms. Depending on the aircraft, they also provide seats with a movable aisle armrest for passengers needing to transfer from a boarding wheelchair to their own seat more easily.
US Airways
When traveling with US Airways, if you have a mobility disability and need special seating, call 800-428-4322 at least 24 hours before your scheduled departure to ensure your needs are met. Besides seats with movable armrests, the airline also provides seats with more legroom for passengers with a immobilized leg. The airline can also provide an on-board wheelchair but let
them know 48 hours in advance if you need one.
Southwest
If you're flying with Southwest and you need a wheelchair at the airport, or need other special assistance, it's best to inform the airline in advance, or as soon as you arrive at the airport so your requests can be fulfilled as quickly as possible. On each aircraft, a small wheelchair that can fit down the aircraft aisle is available at every gate and can be used if you need help getting into your seat.

I was selfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college. I let my Mom and Dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith and spirituality, it was only to increase my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.
Still, I didn’t give up on happiness. I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.

When you finish your day at school, you probably rush to your dormitory or home as quickly as possible. But for some people, their day begins in the middle of the night.
Welcome to the interesting world of “the Master”, the owner of a small restaurant located in a busy district that only opens from midnight to 7 am.
Earlier this month, Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Ka-fai announced that he had directed and starred as the Master in a remake of Japanese director Joji Matsuoka’s famous comedy Midnight Diner. The new movie is expected to come out in Chinese mainland cinemas later this year.
While serving regular soup every night, the Master is also willing to make customized (定制的) dishes if his customers ask. Besides its delicious food, what makes this eatery special is that it’s a place of sanctuary and togetherness.
Midnight is often when worries, loneliness, and sadness creep up on people, and midnight diner provides the simple comforts of food and drink, and more importantly, a warm place where people can keep each other company, talk, and share their stories. The customers’ stories cover everything, from problems at work to parenthood, romance, friendship, and the regrets of a wasted life. Listening to their stories, customers offer encouragement and advice to one another. But the Master only provides the life lesson-- a good day must follow a bad one-when necessary.
Despite facing different kinds of disappointment, people need to find their own satisfaction in their seemingly messy lives. “The small pleasure can be a good hot-pot meal,” Japanese culture website JapanPowered.com noted. “It’s easy to lose sight of what gives life meaning as we go about the daily routine of work and home life.”
After all, no one is flawless and no one’s life is perfect, but imperfections are the space where possibilities live. As Kelly Mcneils, author of Your Messy Brilliance, wrote, “ The good, the bad, and the ugly, they are our greatest assets because they include every single part of ourselves and
leave nothing out--and when we fully embrace all parts of ourselves, we discover our true power.” 28. From the passage we know that the Master________.
A. is an actor in Midnight Diner. B. is so popular as to be remade by Joji Matsuoka C. provides good service for his customers D. offers a special restaurant around the clock.
29. What does the underlined word “sanctuary” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. reunion B. separation C. eating D. shelter 30. Why is the midnight diner important and special ?
A. Because bad emotions often occur at midnight. B. Because it offers meals at midnight .
C. Because customers are comforted and helped here. D. Because the customers love the Master’s life lessons. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Nobody is perfect.
B. Accepting our imperfections help us learn about ourselves. C. We shouldn’t attach great importance to our imperfections. D. Potentials can only be found in our imperfections. D
Workers at an Indian start-up company are busy cutting up pieces of metal and using them to make unusual devices. Company officials say these devices will capture smoke from diesel（柴油机）generators and turn it into ink. Young engineers believe the technology will help to clean up the air in New Delhi, India’s capital. Its air quality is among the dirtiest in the world.
People often blame the millions of cars on the streets of New Delhi for the air pollution. But another big reason is the city’s diesel generators. Industries and buildings use the huge machines to light up homes and offices during power outages. These outages often strike in the summer months.
Arpit Dhupar is one of the three engineers who set up the start-up company Chakr Innovation. He says that pollution from cars and other vehicles get all the media attention, but adds that “the silent polluters are the diesel generators.” Dhupar decided to find a way to fight air pollution three years ago. At the time, he saw a wall blackened from the smoke coming from a diesel generator. This sight led to the creation of Chakr Innovation. Dhupar had personally experienced the effect of the air pollution. He developed breathing problems while growing up in Delhi.
After over two years of research and development, Chakr Innovation has begun selling devices to capture pollution from diesel engines. To date, the devices have been set up in 50 places, including private businesses.
The technology involves cooling the air pollution in a “heat exchanger” where the dirty particles come together. These are then moved into another area that captures 70 to 90 percent of the particulate(微粒的) matter. The carbon is isolated from the emissions and turned into ink.
In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about improving Delhi’s air by reducing vehicular pollution and making stronger rules for vehicle manufacturers. But the same has not happened for
diesel generators. There are efforts to punish businesses that dirty the air, but this often leads to them finding ways to get around the rules.
Tushar Mathur works at Chakr Innovation. He feels that turning smoke into ink is a useful solution. He calls the technology “a win-win between businesses and the environment.” 32. What do we know about the devices from Paragraph 1?
A. They are made in a big company. B. They are cut into pieces of metal.
C. They can turn dirty smoke into ink. D. They will certainly clean up the dirty air.
33. The air pollution in New Delhi may be the most serious in________.
A. March B. July C. September D. December 34. What caused Dhupar to found Chakr Innovation?
A. The determination to fight air pollution. B. The development of breathing problems. C. The media attention to vehicular pollution D. The sight of a wall blackened by smoke.
35. When the device works, how are the dirty particles gathered together?
A. By cooling the polluted air. B. By isolating the emissions. C. By moving the dirty particles. D. By capturing the particulate matter. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

Children's Games in Ancient China
Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didn't have smart phone, iPad or computer to entertain themselves. 36 Let's take a look.
Kicking stone balls
During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.
Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. 37 For example, the swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style.
Playing hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. Even nowadays, many children like playing it. There are two ways to play.
