听一分钟英文：Airplanes-飞机

Airplanes are amazing. How does something so big and heavy get off the ground? I’m always amazed¹ at how the millions of different parts work together. Travelling by airplane is always a wonderful experience. I don’t care whether economy class is cramped² and has no space. I like playing with the in-flight entertainment system, especially now they have all the latest movies. I also love airplane food. Many of my friends say it’s disgusting, but I love it. I often ask the passenger next to me if I can have the dessert or roll they don’t want. The only thing I don’t like about planes is turbulence³. When the airplane hits those air pockets, I always worry we’ll crash. But I once read that turbulence has never caused an airplane to crash.
