阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

  In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning.It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous.In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers.Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers' luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks.But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.

  Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa.She was a different child.She didn't want to work on a farm or marry a farmer -she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life.Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital.For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot's license.

  Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport.She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man's world.Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot.But she had another idea.Most people were frightened of flying because.flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel.There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick.Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T.agreed.

  The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.

  At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses.In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines.The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim.When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children.It was hard job and not well paid They worked long hours and earned $1 an hour.

  In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes.Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants.They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.

Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce(减少)a child’s chance of becoming short-sighted(近视),research shows . It challenges the belif that short-sightedness is caused by computer use , watching TV or reading in weak light .
Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people’s eyes . They compared the vision (视力)and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in China and Australia .In all,30% of the Chinese children were short-sighted .This percentage was ten times higher than Australian children.
Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching TV and playing computer games .However , the Australia children spent an average of two hours a day outdoors ,90 minutes more than the Chinese children.
Professor Ian Morgan said ,“Humans are naturally long-sighted ,but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors ,the number of short-sighted peoplegets larger. We are also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world –and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors .
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light . But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted ? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质)which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted .
So go outdoors .It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports .
