Earnings before interest and tax, a measure of operating income, gained 86 percent to €141 million as fuel costs fell and cargo traffic rose. Air France has been hurt less than rivals such as British Airways PLC and Lufthansa AG by the slowdown on North Atlantic routes following the war on Iraq in 2003 because it has fewer flights in that market.
Net income fell as the airline paid deferred taxes that came due. Sales rose 0.9 percent to €3.2 billion. The carder lost about €80 million in revenue because of a four-day strike by pilots in September. An accord was reached tying future pay increases to inflation. The carder said that first-half fuel costs fell 15 percent to €680 million. Cargo traffic rose 11 percent in the second quarter, while passenger traffic rose 1.1 percent. The airline's shares gained 87 cents, or 7.7 percent, to close at €12.11.
Separately, Air France and Alitalia SpA agreed to buy 2 percent stakes in each other as Europe's second- and sixth-largest airlines deepen their partnership.

His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. "Mark Twain" is a river term, meaning a depth of two fathoms, namely twelve feet. He comments on it like this, "It was always a pleasant sound for a pilot to hear on a dark night, it means safe water."
Mark Twain was born in 1835. He left school at twelve in order to earn a living. As printer's apprentice, river pilot on the Mississippi, and newspaper reporter, he accumulated a world of humorous material for writing. Both Torn Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are dear to hearts of boys. The Prince and the Pauper has gained him additional popularity. Joan of Arc is his most serious work, and in his own point of view the best. Innocent around the World and Roughing it keep the readers chuckling. Because "laughter is gift of gods", Mark Twain will always hold a warm spot in the affections of the American people.

Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Besides, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations(革新) do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can use the skills and wisdom gained through the study of books to practical experience, making a meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical (理论上的) and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that gained from books.
What does the text mainly discuss?
A.Importance of knowledge.
B.Differences between knowledge and practice.
C.How to gain experience.
D.Book knowledge and kractical experience.

听力原文: Knowledge can be gotten from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no chance to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and explain the world around us in different ways. In addition, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won't repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Besides, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation.

However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that gained from books.

When Martin Ziron and researchers at the Institute of Animal Breeding and Genetics in Giessen, Germany tested various heating methods on 1,400 piglets during their first weeks of life, waterbeds won hands down.
"Around 99 percent of the piglets preferred warm waterbeds to any of the alternatives, spending well over half the day lounging about on them and only getting up to feed or play," New Scientist said Wednesday.
The scientists compared the number of injures, which usually occur while scrambling for a feeding position, and the weight gain of the piglets which were provided with plastic plates, foam mats waterbeds, straw or concrete. Piglets on the waterbeds had fewer injuries and gained much more weight than the animals kept on concrete.
According to the magazine, the waterbeds are made from a tough plastic membrane and can be heated from underneath by an electric mat or from above by infrared lamps.
From the passage we know that piglets ______.
A.easily get crushed in the first weeks
B.does not like warm waterbeds in the beginning
C.generally like snuggling up to their mothers for warmth
D.are not happy wallowing in the mud
听力原文: Piglets may be happy wallowing in the mud, but they get a much better start in life if they are nurtured on a warm waterbed. Instead of snuggling up to their mothers for warmth in their cold pigsty and running the risk of being crushed a common cause of early death-German scientists said waterbeds could be a safer alternative.

Should a university graduate with a computer science degree seek a position in a large, possibly multinational company or in a smaller organization?
Advice on this was divided, although the pros and cons (正反两方面的理由) are fairly clear. If you join a small company, you can get a clearer all-around picture of how business works and gain experience in many fields. If you join a large organization, you can benefit from its in-house training programs and form. experience gained by working on large projects.
Vigrom Chaisinthop is TN Information Systems managing director. He said that by joining a big organization, a graduate would get experience on projects working with teams of 50 to 60 people. This would provide good experience in learning how to do a big project.
However, if they were to join a smaller company, they would have more opportunity to explore more areas, possibly spanning both hardware and programming. This might allow a person to be more creative.
Compaq managing director Kongkiet Washington said he believed that it would be more beneficial to work for a smaller company. He said that graduates would like to see many aspects of a business and be able to understand "the big picture". He also suggested that a graduate should start with an established organization, so that he can learn about process and discipline for at least three to five years.
But whether big or small, TN's Vigrom noted that half of all graduates would not make their decision based on this question alone. Parents who tended to favor state enterprises from a job security standpoint also had a large say in the choice.
People have divided opinions about ______.
A.the benefits a big company provides to graduates
B.the advantages a small company offers to graduates
C.whether graduates should work for a large or a small company
D.whether graduates can gain different experience
