题文
阅读理解。 Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts,a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack,
which was very full, but he didn't have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he
checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a
small package.
"Give this package to Jean Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you
can find him easily," Tony said, "You don't have any luggage, right?"
"only this backpack," Brian answered. "You said I could bring one carry-on bag."
"That's right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip."
"Thanks."
Is Brian a criminal (罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket
to Paris. Air-couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign
countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next
day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to
send a package with an air-courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air-couriers. The number of tickets for the air-courier
travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn't for everyone. But if you have
very little money, you can be flexible (灵活的) about your travel plans, and don't mind wearing the same clothes
for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation! 1. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel? [ ]A. Because they were the uniforms for air-couriers.
B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. Because he did not have any luggage with him. 2. An air-courier is a person who _____. [ ]
A. manages a business company in foreign countries
B. organizes international flights for tourists
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets
D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Bria.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
