四、閱讀測驗 Have you ever dreamed of becoming a flight attendant? It looks like you get to travel around the world, all
while getting paid. Actually, the life of a flight attendant is not really like the glamorous image that most people have
in mind.
Flight attendants have a much harder job than what passengers see on board. Always smiling and courteous,
they endure a much harder work schedule than most. Even discounting the possible dangers of flying, flight
attendants must put up with rude and demanding passengers. Sometimes passengers spill drinks, have crying and
vomiting babies, or do not speak the same language as the crew. If you think working an eight- or nine-hour day is
rough, don‟t try working on an airplane. Typically, flight attendants work 16- to 18-hour days, and most of that time
they are standing on their feet. Those long hours do not include layovers. The pay is not great, either. Furthermore,
you‟re in close contact with hundreds of passengers every day. Some of them may be sick, and you run the risk of
getting infected. Last but not least, pushing around beverage carts used to serve drinks and food is not easy because
they weigh more than 100 kilograms. On long-distance flights, these carts may be used several times. Therefore,
being a flight attendant can be a very physically demanding job.
Of course, if the work of a flight attendant were all bad, no one would want to be one. You do get to meet some
great people during the flights. You are eligible for free flights, sometimes for your friends and family too! You have
the opportunity to see more places in a few years than most people see in their entire lives. Sightseeing can really
broaden your horizons. No matter what job you hope to have, be sure to do a little research on it first. Most of us
have to work, but working at what you really want to do is the best employment.
