根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A~F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。

A. Sitting at the back means fewer food options.

B. Flight attendants get paid only for flight hours.

C. Flight attendants’ job is to keep passengers safe.

D. Flight attendants might water down your drinks.

E. Flight attendants are trained to identify criminals.

F. The seat-belt sign is “on” far longer than necessary.

Things An Air Hostess Won't Tell You

To make things a bit easier for them and ensure a smooth flight, many Flight attendants have little tricks under their sleeves. Here are some of them which they won't tell you out of sheer politeness.

1.__________

Contrary to what most people think, a flight attendant's primary job is to ensure your safety - the helping and serving part of their job are just add-ons. If they are assisting you with your luggage, it is to make sure it is stored properly and does not harm anyone. They are not required to lift your bags or help you take them elsewhere. All the other assistance, such as providing you with a drink, handing you hot towels, etc., are to make sure you stay calm and satisfied.

2.__________

As unfair as it may seem, the time that a flight attendant spends in getting the plane ready, settling you down, etc., is not included in their salary. They do, however, receive some expense allowance(津貼) for the entire time they clock in - it is a pretty small income though

3.__________

If a flight attendant feels a passenger is ordering too many drinks, and getting drunk, they might avoid serving him/her by avoiding eye contact. When that fails, they might just fill the glass half-way or give him/her a diluted (稀釋的) drink

4.__________

A number of training programs and workshops exist to train flight attendants in different aspects. As some people are using flights more and more to smuggle (走私), flight attendants are being regarded as the first line of defense against this heinous （邪惡的）crime. The benefits are already evident - a number of dangers are avoided, thanks to alert(警惕的) flight attendants on board

5.__________

This is a bit unfortunate for those sitting at the back of the plane, but nevertheless true. As the attendants start serving from the front of the plane to the back, the variety of drinks or meals might go down. This is because a plane has limited space, only a certain number of items can be stored, and by the time they get to the back of the plane, they run out of at least a few of the options.

     The   rise of the so-called "boomerang generation "  is laid  bare  in official figures showing  that
almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.
     By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years
ago, research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows. It also found that grown-up sons are
twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarter of
men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a "generation of
mummy's boys".
     Rising property prices, mounting student debts and the effects of recession on the job market have
forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally
be moving out. Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been nicknamed the "boomerang
generation" because of the trend toward returning to the family home having firstly left to study. Recent

in their late 20s than their counterparts(對手們) elsewhere in Europe. But commentators warned that the
phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing "dire" prospects(景象) than simply a desire
to save money. While the proportion of those of university or college age moving out from the family
home has continued to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has been
reversed(顛倒).
      Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more
than 760,000 in their late 20s, the ONS figures suggest. In 1988 22. 7 per cent of men aged 25 to 29
