Last year at airports across the world, 18% of flights were delayed, leaving millions of passengers stuck with a lot of time on their hands. Most of us can kill time at airports with a bit of shopping or the distractions provided by our smartphones, but some instead choose to get creative. Richard Dunn is a case in point. Earlier this month, he found himself stuck overnight at Las Vegas’ McCar-ran International Airport, and decided to pass the time by shooting a music video of himself singing the Celine Dion cover of "All by Myself."
Make a game of it
Earlier this month, Daniel Wiersema, from Austin, Texas, was travelling with fellow members of the American Outlaws, a soccer fan club that travels to matches worldwide to show support for the US-A. He was one of 530 members who flew to Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. At George HW Bush International Airport, however, he and his fellow fans found they had time to kill before boarding. "Myself and about eight others began passing a ball around, and it broke into a full out game," he recalls.
People-watching
Sometimes, people-watching provides its own rewards. Training consultant Nick Holyoake found this to be true while waiting around at arrivals at London’ s Stansted Airport. He happened to notice a woman who, despite her bright yellow dress and smiley face balloon, looked "sad and solitary", he says. "She looked like she made such an effort for someone who was either late or never coming," Holyoake guesses. "The contrast between the bright yellow of her hopefulness and the reality that all was most likely not going smoothly impressed me." When he noticed her cover her face with the balloon, he couldn ’t help but snap a picture.
Hit the lounge
Some travelers, meanwhile, found themselves actually relishing their flight delays. Freddy Sherman, a luxury travel blogger, was so pleased with the facilities at Istanbul Ataturk Airport’ s CIP Lounge that he hated to board his flight. In addition to a spacious billiards area, the lounge also has a flight simulator(飞行模拟器). "I travel frequently and have experienced a lot of airport lounges, but this one constantly amazes me with all the things to see, do and eat," he says. "I actually wanted my plane to be delayed so I could spend more time there." [br] Which of the following can not be inferred from Freddy Sherman’ s words?
选项
A、Istanbul Ataturk Airport’s CIP Lounge is the best lounge he has ever seen.
B、There are so many things to do in this lounge that you will never be bored.
C、It is the best lounge in the world with many superb facilities.
D、Delaying at the airport is much more interesting than boarding on time.
答案
B
解析
推断题。根据题干中的Freddy Sherman’s words可以定位到他的话I travel frequently and have experienceda lot of airport lounges,but this one constantly amazes me with all the things to see,do and eat,”he says.“I actual—ly wanted my plane to be delayed so I could spend more time there从他的话可知在这里有许多事可做,不会无聊,而且比登机更有趣。但是,不能说这个是世界上最好的,只能说是他看过的当中认为是最好的,所以C选项不对。因此.正确答案是B。
