5. ……………………… Firstly, security threats (such as 9/11) and economic downturns (e.g. the 2008 global economic crisis) have an impact on numbers of air passengers, although these have always been followed by a rapid recovery in confidence. In addition, there is a lack of infrastructure to support such growth - more airports and runways are needed, but environmental concerns make it difficult to bring about improvements in infrastructure. Most seriously, there are signs that after a period of economic liberalisation, with the removal of barriers to international trade, we may be moving into a more protectionist era, and this may represent the greatest threat to continued growth in air travel.

A、Several recent events have caused a temporary dip in air travel.

B、There are several issues that might slow down or even reverse this growth.

C、There are a number of negative impacts of air travel, such as air pollution.

Chocoholics

Everybody loves chocolate. A cup of cocoa before going to bed or a Mars bar on the bus – the British are obsessed with it. The average Briton eats 10kg of chocolate a year. Women eat far more chocolate than men, an amazing 67% of total chocolate consumption. And the most popular snack is KitKat – fifty are eaten every second in the UK.

Chocoholics are people with a chocolate obsession. But are they addicts? Not according to recent research. This shows that chocolate is not as addictive as coffee – in fact，there is no proof that chocolate creates addiction at all. And it’s a lot better for you than we thought. Some scientists say that it releases the same chemicals that your body produces when you are in love. Now that can’t be a bad thing!

Some more good news – it doesn’t raise your cholesterol level or give you acne, as people believe, and it can even be good for your teeth! It does, however, contain caffeine and is bad if you get headaches. So the least sensible time to eat it is at night.

The British love chocolate but they are not as obsessed as the Swiss. The Swiss are officially the world’ greatest chocolate eaters – but then Swiss chocolate is the best!

1Women buy less chocolate than men.

2There is evidence that chocolate is addictive.

3Chocolate contains caffeine.

4You should avoid chocolate if you suffer from migraines.

5The world’s greatest chocolate eaters are the British.

In any field it's important to have ambition and drive. But having worked as a psychologist with athletes, executives, artists and young people, I've learned that those who rise to the headiest heights in any field aren't necessarily the ones with the greatest natural talent. They're the diligent few who put in the hours. They work hard. And then they work harder. Recent research by fellow psychologists bears out the significance of focused hard work. In 1988, K. Anders Ericsson of Florida State University in Tallahassee and colleagues in Germany compared the careers of two groups of young musicians. The ten members of the first group were identified as potential topflight international performers. Another ten were identified as merely "good". Ericsson also included ten violinists performing in orchestras of international reputation, such as the Berlin Philharmonic. Both student groups kept diaries of their current practice schedules, and all three groups provided estimates of their earlier schedules. Of the student musicians, Ericsson found, by the age of 20, the "good" group had practiced 7500 hours － an impressive total. But the potential world-class performers had practiced a staggering 10 000 hours － the equivalent of more than a year of hard work. "It's the difference between a college freshman and a junior," Ericsson says. Moreover, the top group's total practice time matched almost exactly that of the symphony performers at the same age. Of course, there's a difference between hard work and drudgery. Keeping your nose mindlessly to the grindstone will only get you abraded nostrils. It's important to put in the hours. But it's not just the hours that count. For hard work to really pay off, you need to work effectively. 1. According to the author, the most important quality for one desiring the greatest achievements is ________.

A、ambition

B、hard work

C、drive

D、the greatest natural talent
