Question

8．Statistically，air travel is by far the safest way to travel，and you can make flying even safer，just by following these simple rules．Though your chances of being in an air accident are practically zero，many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are in the air．
Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the take-off，climb，descent and landing periods of a flight，so flying non-stop can reduce these complex steps．
Choose larger aircrafts
Although small aircrafts have very good safety records，those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to follow much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still work well．Also，in the unlikely event of a serious accident，larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival．
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem to be heard repeatedly，but it's worth listening to the flight attendants．And even if you've flown before，it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on，such as the location of the closest emergency exit．
Store things safely
Never put very heavy things in the overhead storage bins．They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury．Also，the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence（气流）．
Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this，but it's important．You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence．Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to．The general rule of flying is this：If you are told to do something，do it first and ask questions later．
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded passage on a moving aircraft，so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you．Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them．

解答 28．A．细节理解题．根据文章第一段最后一句话"…to make your journey safer when you are in the air．"可知，这些乘飞机旅行的安全提示的目的是为了提高旅客的安全的；故选A．
29．C．词义推断题．根据文章第三段：Although small aircrafts have very good safety records 和with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply （遵守） with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply可知指的是超过30个座位的大客机，故选C．
