Today, Diners Club has about 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7. 6 million businesses in more than 200 countries.
(Now listen again please.)
Questions:
11. What can we know about the earlier credit cards from the passage?
12. Why did the customers like the card issued by Diners Club?
13. What’s the passage mainly about?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Everyone, please imagine, a big explosion breaks out as the plane takes us high in the sky. The plane is full of smoke and the engine sounds scary. Two minutes later, the engines are turned off. We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.
That really happened. In January 2009, I had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York.
Now let me tell you the things I learned when the silence came.
I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to but didn’t. I thought about all the experiences I wanted to have but never did. I realized, wow, dying was not scary. But it was very sad just because I only wished I could have seen my kids grow up.
Fortunately, I was given the gift of a miracle of not dying that day.
About a month later, my wife and I were at a performance by my daughter, not much artistic talent. Yet, I was crying. I realized that above all, the only goal in my life was to be a good father.
