Recently, we’ve heard some terrible stories. These stories are about some passengers who behaved badly on airplanes. Some passengers fight with each other, and even with air crew. There was once a news report about violence on airplanes. According to the report, a passenger even poured hot water to an airline hostess.
It seems that people may get angry easily when they are on airplanes. One of the main reasons is the crowded cabin(机舱). Leon James is a scientist at the University of Hawaii, US. He said, “The cabin is always crowded. People usually feel uncomfortable when they are in such a small place. In this way, they can lose control of their emotions easily.”
The crowded cabin is not the only reason. Think of the long journey you have to go to even before you board the plane. You have to arrive at the airport several hours before your flight. You have to pass security(安检). Then you have to take off your shoes and put them back on. See? You have to do so many tiring things. These tiring things influence our moods and self-control.
To help create a friendlier flight, each of us should be responsible for our actions. But airlines should also take some measures to avoid violence on airplanes. ( )41．The terrible stories are about _________.
