If it wasn't one thing, it was another one. For almost four years, the travel world was turned upside down and once-peripatetic business travelers were chained to
41 their desks. But as the economy picks up and that the general business climate
42 improves for this year, corporate travelers are heading back to airports and hotels
43 around the world. What they'll find is a vastly different environment for business
44 travel. After years of retrenchment, major airlines are growing up again,
45 resuming with service on important business-travel, mutes and rebuilding
46 in-flight services. Alternate carriers are stronger than ever and hurriedly adding
47 business-class services to appeal to the corporate traveler. New hotels are
48 opening in major business centers around the world and hoteliers who
49 are tweaking their properties with better spas, better beds, better food and
50 crisper, more being focused service. And miraculously, prices are down, too. If a
51 chorus of "Happy Days Are Here Again" isn't quite appropriate, at least other
52 business travelers can hit the road in coming months confident that is, finally, things are getting a little better all the time.

Operating a major airline in the 1980s is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low fare passengers, without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay substantially more for their tickets.
It is no coincidence that the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the companies specializing in cheap flights. But low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable, and in the recent recession the volume of traffic has not grown. Equally the large number of airlines jostling for the available passengers has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat competition driving down fare's has been to push some airlines into collapse and leave many others hovering on the brink.
Against this grim background, it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly towards the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have invested much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.
High on the list of priorities is punctuality; an executive's time is money. In-flight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for the executive's attention. The free drinks and headsets and better food are all part of the lure.
One criticism against many international airlines is that they have, in the recent past, ______.
A.catered for the more wealthy people
B.given preferential treatment to executive clients
C.only met the needs of the regular travelers
D.marketed their service with the masses in mind

W: Absolutely. I was telling them to calm down to the end of the year. In fact, they are feeling a lot of pressures with work deadlines, financial pressure, family obligations and of course shopping for the holiday.
M: Speaking about the holidays, how does the stress escalate during this time of the year?
W: The bottom-line is women still bear the burden for the holidays. They are still, you know, whether they are working or not working, or single, or whatever the case may be, they are the ones to make the holiday. And family adds a lot of stress, too. A lot of time women tend to bear the burden alone. You feel like you've got to be the one who has to do it all alone. You have to make it all the beautiful; you have to make it all the delicious; you have to meet your children's expectations; and you have to manage all those family relationships. And think about it, you don't necessarily see the people during the year all the time. Yet they all come to your home and you will be together for a long period. That can actually add a lot of stress.
M: You said that "investigating old stories can help manage the families", what do you mean by that?
W: What I mean is that women often feel the expectation, because they are thinking "I wanna do like I remembered my mother doing it", or "I wanna do it differently than my mother did it". These old stories about how perfect it's supposed to be come from somewhere. And if you understand where that expectation is coming from, you have a better chance to be more objective about it. You know, maybe I don't have to bake 100 different varieties of cookies. Maybe that's something my mother chose to do but Vm gonna do it differently.
M: A lot of women feel guilty around this time of the year, too, right? And you say that's the part of thing you have to get rid of.
W: Right! You have to let go of the guilt. They tell you when you get on an aeroplane that in a case of an emergency when the oxygen masks come down put it on yourself first. You have to save yourself before you can help others. So it's really important that you let go of the guilt, prioritize, and learn a way to notice something that you are just not able to do.
M: And feeling better is another really key topic…
W: Absolutely, during this stressful time, the health issues can become, you know, more prevalent. So you really need to make sure that you are eating right, you are getting enough rest and you are also listening to your body. And give yourself a little time out occasionally. You know, take time to meditate or just to focus on yourself.

A.Women are more stressed out than men.
B.Stress reducing in holiday seasons.
C.Life with extreme stress.
D.What makes people more stressful?
Let&39;s face it: plane riders are stressful. For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly what they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty easily, but passengers with heart disease may experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. Low pressure can also cause the air in body cavities to expand-as much as 30%+ Again, most people won&39;t notice anything beyond mild stomach cramping. But if you&39;ve recently had an operation, your wound could open. And if&39; a medical device has been implanted in your body-a splint, a tracheotomy(气管切开术)tube or a catheter (导管)-it could expand and cause injury.
Another common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis(深静脉血栓)-the so-called economy-class syndrome, When you sit too long in a cramped position. the blood in our legs tends to clot. Most people just get sore calves. But blood clots, left untreated, could travel to the lungs, causing breathing difficulties and even death. Such clots are readily prevented by keeping blood flowing; walk and stretch your legs when possible,
Whatever you do, don&39;t panic. Things are looking up on the in-flight-emergency front. Doctors who come to passengers&39; aid used to worry about getting sued; their fears have lifted somewhat since the 1998 Aviation Medical Assistance Act gave them"good Samaritan" protection. And thanks to more recent legislation, flights with at least one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits with automated defibrillators (电击去颤器) to treat heart attacks.
Are you still wondering if you are healthy enough to fly? If you can walk 150 it. or climb a flight of stairs without getting winded, you&39;ll probably do just fine, Having a doctor close by doesn&39;t hurt, either.
