单选题 Para. 1 Flybmi is advising customers to seek refunds from credit and debit card companies or rebook with other airlines after the company collapsed late on Saturday, leading to the cancellation of thousands of journeys.
Para. 2 On Sunday night, it emerged that Flybmi's Glasgow-based sister company Loganair, which flies to the Scottish Highlands and Islands as well as to a small number of destinations in England, Ireland and Scandinavia, was poised to step in and take over five of Flybmi's routes from next month.
Para. 3 ①Loganair said it was in a 'strong financial position' and would be flying from Aberdeen to Bristol, Oslo and Esbjerg, as well as from Newcastle to Brussels and to Stavanger in Norway. ②It was also 'evaluating Flybmi's wider network'.
Para. 4 ①Jonathan Hinkles, Loganair's managing director, said: 'It's always really sad to see an airline go out of business, and our thoughts are with all those affected—particularly staff members. ②We are evaluating Flybmi's wider network and assessing routes which align with Loganair's distinct geographical area and overall strategic plans. ③We are also working on employment opportunities for pilots, cabin crew and engineering support staff to strengthen the Loganair team.'
Para. 5 Thousands of passengers have been left out-of-pocket after Flybmi, which operated more than 600 flights a week from regional airports including Bristol, Newcastle, Aberdeen and East Midlands, said it was calling in administrators.
Para. 6 ①Ryanair said it was offering special cheap 'rescue fares' between Belfast and London Stansted and to Milan Bergamo and Nuremberg to help stranded travellers. ②Easy Jet said it was offering a special £80 deal for stranded passengers wanting to fly between Bristol and Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.
Para. 7 ①Tim Alderslade, chief executive of Airlines UK, the industry association that represents 13 UK carriers, said: 'Today's announcement demonstrates once again the ferociously competitive environment airlines currently operate in. ②It should give government—and other parts of the industry who relentlessly champion passenger growth but too frequently neglect the challenges carriers face—pause for thought.'
Para. 8 ①Flybmi, which employs 376 staff and has a fleet of 17 aircraft covering 25 European cities, told aircrew not to turn up for work. ②Affected passengers were told not to go to the airport unless they had rebooked flights with alternative providers. ③Flybmi said it was not able to buy or rearrange journeys for its customers.
Para. 9 Hundreds of passengers expressed dismay on social media at the sudden demise of an airline that was urging people to book flights via Twitter up until the day before its collapse.
Para. 10 Hannah Price, 23, was concerned she would not be able to recoup £550 spent on five flights to Brussels where she travels frequently on business.
Para. 11 ①Her flight was a shared ticket with Brussels Airline and that company has arranged for her to fly back to Bristol via Amsterdam on Monday, but her journey time will now be seven hours rather than two. ②'It's good news that I am getting back to Bristol but it's still frustrating.' she said.
单选题 Para 1 When Steve Jobs told his daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs that the Apple Lisa computer was not named after her, it was not a cruel lie to a little girl, she insists—he was teaching her 'not to ride on his coat-tails.'
Para 2 When Mr. Jobs refused to install heat in her bedroom, he was not being callous, she says—he was instilling in her a 'value system.'
Para 3 when a dying Mr. Jobs told Ms. Brennan-Jobs that she smelled 'like a toilet,' it was not a hateful snipe, she maintains—he was merely showing her 'honesty.'
Para 4 ①It's a strange thing to write a devastating memoir with damning details but demand that these things are not, in fact, damning at all. ②Yet that's exactly what Ms. Brennan-Jobs has done in a new memoir, 'Small Fry,' and in a series of interviews conducted over the last few weeks.
Para 5 ①Thanks to a dozen other biographies and films, Apple obsessives already know the broad outlines of Ms. Brennan-Jobs's early life: Mr. Jobs fathered her at 23, then denied paternity despite a DNA match, and gave little in financial or emotional support even as he became a god of the early computing era. ②'Small Fry,' which goes on sale Sept. 4, is Ms. Brennan-Jobs's effort to reclaim her story for herself.
Para 6 ①The backdrop to her raw depictions of life with and without Mr. Jobs is 1980s Silicon Valley, where artists and hippies mixed with technologists, ideas of how to build the future flourished, and a cascade of trillions of dollars was just beginning to crash onto the landscape. ②Ms. Brennan-Jobs navigated a childhood on welfare with her mother, the artist Chrisann Brennan, and an adolescence ensconced in her father's wealth.
Para 7 ①In passage after passage of 'Small Fry,' Mr. Jobs is vicious to his daughter and those around her. ②Now, in the days before the book is released, Ms. Brennan-Jobs is fearful that it will be received as a tell-all exposé, and not the more nuanced portrait of a family she intended. ③She worries that the reaction will be about a famous man's legacy rather than a young woman's story—that she will be erased again, this time in her own memoir.
Para 8 ①On the eve of publication, what Ms. Brennan-Jobs wants readers to know is this: Steve Jobs rejected his daughter for years, but that daughter has absolved him. ②Triumphantly, she loves him, and she wants the book's scenes of their roller skating and laughing together to be as viral as the scenes of him telling her she will inherit nothing.
Para 9 ①Ms. Brennan-Jobs's forgiveness is one thing. ②what's tricky is that she wants the reader to forgive Mr. Jobs, too. ③And she knows that could be a problem.
Para 10 ①'Have I failed?' she asked, in one of our conversations. ②'Have I failed in fully rep-resenting the dearness and the pleasure? ③The dearness of my father, and the outrageous pleasure of being with him when he was in good form?'
