The US airline industry is facing a new threat to its profits — heavier passengers, a report has found. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average US adult put on ten pounds ( 4.5kg ) of weight during the 1990s. transporting the extra weight cost airlines an extra $275 million in fuel costs in 2000, the report says.
Earnings at airlines have already been under pressure due to the decreasing demand and a record increase in the price of crude oil. In the US , a number of airlines have gone bust while others are struggling to survive in an ever more competitive marketplace. While it is relatively easy to check the weight of a traveler’s luggage and charge those that burst limits, it is much harder to regulate a person’s waistline. Some firms have toyed with the idea of (jokingly suggested) charging overweight travelers for two seats, but it is not a practice that has taken off industry-wide.
Last year, the American Federal Aviation Administration increased the average passenger weight they use to calculate aircraft loads by ten pounds. Since then, crude oil prices have hit record levels, with many firms responding by raising the fuel charge they add to ticket prices.
The rising level of obesity in the US and in Europe has prompted government health campaigns and harsh criticism of a number of food firms. Restaurant chain McDonald’s has taken the main force of the attack, and has in recent months reworked its menu to include healthier option, which has helped lift profits.
As with fast food restaurants, timely adjustment may be the best solution presently for American airlines. The prediction by experts, however, is that humans are set to become bigger.
1. This passage is most probably taken from .

C. an airline guidebook D. a newspaper

3. What measures did many American airlines take in response to the record increase in the price of crude oil last year?
A. They increased the average passenger weight when calculating aircraft loads.
B. They brought up their ticket prices.
C. They charged obsess travelers for two seats.
D. They overcharged travelers’ luggage.
4. What does the last paragraph of the passage imply?
A. Airline profits in America will be under even greater pressure.
B. The population of obsess people will increase rapidly.

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% - 40% that are caused by tiredness.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should ou0en a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
5. According to the text, Driver Alert .
A. aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents B. has gone through testing at laboratories
C. aims to prevent drivers from sleeping D. has been on sale for 12 months
6. How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?
A. By sounding a warning. &nbs
