L44-3: Speed and comfort

For a few hours,

you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight.

The real escapist can watch a film and sip champagne on some services.

But even when such refinements are not available,

there is plenty to keep you occupied.

An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world.

You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys.

You really see the shape of the land.

If the landscape is hidden from view,

you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for miles before you,

while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky.

The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping.

However you decide to spend your time,

one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpled.

You will not have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and arduous journey.

应用配置：L0+L4

练习感悟：用时43分钟。不长的课文，难度不大，朗读了几遍，主要在调读音。今天才发现在4月8日和4月9日的课文是重复的，那么接下来所有的课文材料都会比实际的日期慢一天。
