Lesson 79 By Air? 【Text】 I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. A flight attendant would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, a flight attendant told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again. 【课文翻译】 我 在 幼 年 的 时 候 ， 曾 多 次 乘 飞 机 旅 行 。我 的 父母曾 经住在 南美洲， 所以假期里我 常从欧洲乘 飞 机 到他们那里。我 总是由一位空中乘 务员照管， 从未遇到过不愉快的 经历。我 习惯了乘 飞 机 旅 行 ， 只是有一次 把我 吓坏了。起飞 之后， 我 们在 城市上空低低地飞 行 ， 然后慢慢爬高。这时 飞 机 突然调转头来， 飞 回了机 场。在 我 们等待降落时 ， 一位空中乘 务员告诉我 们要保持镇静， 待飞 机 一着陆， 就马上 不声不响地离开飞 机 。飞 机 上的 人都很着急， 大家都急于想知道究竟出了什么事。后来我 们才得知， 飞 机 上坐了一位非常重要的 人物。有人报告警察，说飞 机 上安放 了一枚炸弹。我 们降落之后， 飞 机 被彻底搜查了一遍。幸运的 是， 什么也没有找到。5 个小时后， 我 们又起飞 了。 New words and expressions 生词和短语 【生词讲...
