Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours

before the

flight to Paris.

He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two

pairs

of

jeans.

He

was

carrying

one

small

backpack,

which

wa

s

very

full,

but

he

didn’t

have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in

for

his

flight.

He

found

Tony

near

the

Air

France

counter.

Tony

gave

him

a

round-trip

ticket and a small package.

“

Give this package to Jean- Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign

with

your

name

on

it.

I

think

you

can

find

him

easily,

“Tony

said.”

You

don’t

have

any luggage, right?”

“

Only this backp

ack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry

-on

bag.”

“That’s right,

one carry-

on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”

“Thanks.”

Is Brian a criminal

（犯罪）

? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only

$$110

for

the

round-trip

ticket

to

Paris.

Air

couriers

get

cheap

airline

tickets

because

they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes

need

to

get

packages

and

papers

to

people

in

foreign

countries

by

the

next

day.

Often,

the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for

a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.

Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of

tickets

for

courier

travel

is

growing

by

about

10

percent

a

year.

However,

air-courier

travel isn’t for everyone, But if you have very littl

e money, can be flexible

（灵

活的）about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week,

it can be a great way to take a vacation!

( ) 1. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?

A. Because they were the uniform for air couriers,

B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.

Memo

To: All Staff

From: Jackie Mock, Secretary; Sports Development Committee

Date: May 20, 2010

A week ago, “Sports for Life” programme

r was sent to the parents, requiring

them to select a sport they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have

received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it . Here is

a memo (

Sports 1: Basketball.

We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore,

to

sign

up

as

soon

as

possible.

Students

will

take

a

private

bus

to

and

from

Kwan

Tong

Sports

Park

.To

cover

the

cost

of

hiring

a

bus

,

each

student

will have to pay

＄

10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for

our use with one teacher watching over each game.

Sports 2: Gym

We will be using St. Pete

r’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing

this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lot

of

trees

with

plenty

of

shade.

Students

must

bring

along

two

bottles

of

water

to

prevent

thirst. Three activities, skipping , jogging , outdoor aerobics (

有氧运动

),all of

which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for

each of the activities.

Sports 3: Hiking

Hiking(

远足

)will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30

pm and finish 90 minutes later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a

hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers. Each instructor will cost

＄

75/hr. Students are advised to bring plenty of water and sunscreen.

Sports 4: Swimming

The

Kowloon

City

Aquatic

Centre

is

a

10-minute

walk

from

our

school.

Four

teachers

- 3 -

will

g

o

to

the

pool

and

conduct

the

goings-on

from

the

poolside.

We

will

only

be

able

to reserve the pool for one hour (i.e. 2:45pm to 3:45pm).Only students skilful at

swimming

can

take up this activity. The

pool will have two lifeguards present. Girls

must wear a swimming suit. The cost is
