24、Every Sunday morning I run around a park near my home. There’s a lake in one corner of the park. And much algae(海藻) is in it. Each time I run by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage beside her.

Last Sunday, I saw her again, so I stopped running and walked over to her. As I got closer, I realized that the metal cage was in fact a small trap(捕捉器). There were three turtles, slowly walking around the base of the trap. She had a fourth turtle on her lap.

“Excuse me, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.” I asked. “I’m cleaning off their shells, “she replied with a smile. “Anything on a turtle’s shell, like algae, reduces the turtle’s ability to get heat and weakens its ability to swim. It’s also bad for the shell over time.” She went on. “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my own way of making a difference.”

“But most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae(水藻) hanging from their shells. There are no kind people like you to help them clean their shells. So how can you make a difference ?” I asked. The woman began to laugh. She then looked down at the turtle in her lap, cleaning off the last piece of algae from its shell and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made all the difference in the world.” After hearing this, I was moved deeply.

26、Cindy: Hello, ladies and gentlemen! I’m Cindy Lanes, an air hostess (乘务员). I have been working for about nine years now and have worked for two German air companies. Over the years, I’ve found that many passengers have questions about our safety rules for take-off and landing. And today I will answer these questions asked by one of the passengers, Johnny. Let’s welcome Johnny!

Johnny: Hello, everyone. Hello, Cindy. I collected some common questions passengers have. Are you ready?

Cindy: Of course. Let’s start!

Johnny: Why do I have to open the window shades (遮光板)?

Cindy: During take-off and landing, we hostesses have to sit on our jump seats and can’t see what’s happening outside. So, if there is an engine fire, for example, we need passengers to be able to tell us this.

Johnny: Wow, that’s the reason. Then why do I have to fold up my tiny table and return my seat back to its straight position?

Cindy: Well, in the case of an emergency landing (紧急着陆), you should keep your head down and your body tilted (倾斜) forward. If you have not properly placed your tiny table and your seat, you or the passenger sitting behind you will not be able to take this position correctly.

Johnny: Okay, I will follow the rules. And why do you darken (使变暗) the lights when it’s dark outside?

Cindy: In a dangerous situation, you have to leave the plane as soon as possible. We darken the lights inside so that your eyes can get used to the darkness outside faster.

Johnny: I have learned a lot. Thank you for your answers.

Cindy: That’s my pleasure. I hope this conversation can help more people! See you next time!
