I was 44  and excited at the same time. We went to a45  nearby. I told the waiter to give him whatever he wanted and I would 46it.

I sat down for a moment asking the old man where he47 . He told me he was sleeping behind the court house 48  it was warm there. I promised to give him a few jackets to keep him warm.

While staring out of the window during a flight, not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded windows rather than square ones .

Over the years, aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The planes have also changed shape to increase safety—including the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid -20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their cost—the air density (密度) is lower up there, creating less drag (阻力) for airplanes. However, higher altitudes came with problems, like the fact human beings can’t really survive at 30,000 feet. To make that possible, the cabin was changed to a cylindrical (圆柱体) shape to support the pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de Havilland Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. With a closed cabin, it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft .

However, where there’s a comer, there’s a weak spot. Windows, having four comers, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stress— such as air pressure. By curving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window comer is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation　 (变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft .

Fortunately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick . Now we have nice, rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35,000 feet a whole new outlook, doesn’t it?

1.Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes?

A.To save money for less drag.

B.To help the plane to take off.

C.To increase safety of the plane .

D.To carry more passengers and go faster.

2.What does the underlined words “de Havilland Comet” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.An aircraft. B.A band.

C.A planet D.A design.

3.Which is the advantage of the rounded window?

A.It increases the air pressure.

B.It weakens the strength of air pressure.

C.It reduces the possibility of breaking up.

D.It helps to survive the extreme weather.
