Former Pan Am and United pilot Tom Bunn is president of the company that produced the videos and that instructs passengers in the basic mechanics of flying and teaches them to control their thoughts.
Before boarding the U. S. Airways flight, Edmonds presents a letter from Bunn to the flight attendant asking to speak with the captain. The pilot gladly obliges, telling her he ’ s been flying for more than two decades and assuring her,You’ re going to be fine. We' re going to take good care of you.’
When the flight attendant offers drinks, Edmonds places her cup of water on the tray table and studies it, tangible evidence that the plane is barely shaking.
“ Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching Baltimore,” announces the flight attendant.
Edmond is relying heavily on Bunn ’ s coping strategies during the 90-minute flight. But she' s coping.
As the wheels touch down, Edmonds’ face lights up.
1. Laura Edmonds has a fear of flying because______.
A. she once experienced a mechanical failure
B. a mechanical failure often appears in her mind
C. she is good at imagining a terrible situation
D. air crashes often happen in her hometown
答案解析:答案为B。本题为细节题。由第二段 “It’ s not the threat of terrorism that worries her,but rather the possibility of mechanical failure. She says she imagines the plane plunging to the ground because the engines may fall off.” 可知,Laura Edmonds害怕乘飞机是因为她总是担心机器出故障,故答案为B。
