Before you leave for the airport

Ensure that you have your passports (and any necessary visas), tickets and money in your hand luggage.

If packing medicines, ensure that they are in their original packaging as this will avoid delays or prevent them from being taken away at customs.

Do not wrap presents as they may have to be unwrapped by security staff or customs. 

The Department of Health has devoted a section of their site to health advice for traveling abroad.

Getting to the airport

Always allow plenty of time to reach the airport. You should arrive there 2 hours before the take-off for international flights and one hour before the take-off for domestic flights.

If you are driving to the airport, ensure that you have booked airport parking in advance.

If you are being driven by a friend who wants to see you off, ensure that he / she knows where the short stay parking is located.

If taking a taxi, ensure that the firm you intend to use has taxis available at the time you wish to travel.

At the airport

Be aware that increased security has considerably lengthened the time it takes to go through check in and security.

Make sure you keep your baggage with you at all times and alert any member of airport staff to any unattended package.

Never look after baggage belonging to other people or carry anything onto the aircraft for someone else.

Keep a close eye on the display boards announcing which gate flights depart from.

In the air

If on a long flight, move your feet around, or get up and walk around regularly if you can.

Avoid dehydration (脫水) by drinking plenty of water or other non-alcoholic drinks.

Don’t eat too heavily before or during a long flight as this will help to avoid indigestion and hypertension (高血壓).

To reduce jet lag (時差反應(yīng)), have some extra sleep before the trip, get some sleep during the flight and try to make mealtimes the same as the time of meals at your destination.

Driving a car is not just handing controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制藥), damaging eyesight, judgement and co-ordination(協(xié)調(diào)), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.

Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:

·50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or

·22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or

·67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液).

Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.

Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK＄25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.

The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(樣本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.

Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.

1. The first paragraph is mainly about       .

A．the introduction of driving skills

B．the damage of drinking to your body

C．the effect of drinking on driving

D．the process of alcohol being absorbed

2. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “       ”.

A．a(chǎn)lcohol           B．a(chǎn)bsorption         C．blood            D．process

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.

B．Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.

C．Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.

D．50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆河北省高三上學期第三次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why．

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things． It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing． If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”． Look around you． With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．

Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning． Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb． When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．

Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success． Why?

Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded． Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer．

But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake． Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again．

We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem． Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate （分配） these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again． Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career．

There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”

So go forth and make mistakes． And learn． And grow． And prosper（成功）．

1.From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______．

A．mistakes are unnecessary for development

B．we are afraid of trying new things

C．it’s common for people to make mistakes

D．mistakes are better than not trying

2.The underlined word “eliminate” means _______．

A．a(chǎn)void

B．remove

C．a(chǎn)ccept

D．solve

3.According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is   ．

A．a(chǎn)voiding making the same mistakes

B．a(chǎn)ccepting the punishment willingly

C．taking consequences into account

D．trying things out one by one

4.What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?

A．Never mind, I can always try again．

B．I’d better stay out of trouble．

C．Ok! Now I can learn something．

D．Look at this mess． Anyone would be upset．
