When Cherry Watson travelled on a recent flight from New York to Washington and noticed an “awful tension” in the cabin, she first thought it was caused by typical bad-tempered passengers. But as the flight neared its end, it became obvious that something was very wrong.

A teenage boy with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合症) who was traveling with his family had become upset and would not return to his seat, regardless of the cabin crew’s warnings over the loudspeaker that it was almost time to land. The pilot was forced to circle above the airport, delaying the landing and angering people on the already tense flight.

“If it was a cartoon,” remembered Watson, “there would have been smoke coming out of people’s ears.”

The boy’s elderly parents and adult brothers and sisters tried to persuade him to get off the floor and

back into his seat, but in vain.Watson, who used to be a teacher, stood up and quickly headed to the back of the plane.

She found the boy in the passage between rows of seats, lying on his belly, and lay down on her stomach to face him. She began chatting calmly with him, asking his name, his favorite book, and his favorite characters. He told her he felt sick and she tried to comfort him.

Minutes later, he allowed her to hold his hand, and then together they got properly back into airplane seats. Watson asked for sick bags, and held them as the boy threw up several times, including on her. As she helped him clean up, she repeatedly told him everything would be okay and that they’d get through it together.

After the plane was finally able to land, no one was impatient to step off the flight as one might expect. Instead, calmed passengers—obviously following Watson’s amazing example—allowed the boy and his family to depart first, smiling at them as they passed. His parents tearfully thanked Watson for what she had done, and a doctor sitting nearby also let her know he had even taken notes on her expert way of handling the situation.

5. The landing was delayed because _____.

A. the plane was out of control  

B. the pilot was forced to change the destination

C. a family ignored the warnings   

D. a boy refused to sit in his seat

6. Watson successfully handled the “awful tension” by _____.

A. fighting against unfair treatment

B. calling on other passengers to join her

C. asking an experienced doctor to help

D. communicating with the boy

7. What changed the angry passengers’ attitude at last?

A. Watson’s efforts.      B. The plane’s safe landing.

C. The crew’s behavior.     D. The boy’s improvement.

8. Which of the following words can best describe Watson?

A. Patient and ambitious.     B. Kind and cool-headed.
