C
John: Hello, Cindy. I know that you are an air hostess and you have been working for about nine years. Over the years, I've found that some questions about safety rules for take-off and landing. Can you answer these questions for me?
Cindy: Certainly!
John: The first question, why do I have to open the window shades (遮光板)?
Cindy: During take-off and landing, we hostesses have to sit on our jump seats and can't see what's happening outside. So, if there is an engine(发动机) fire, we need passengers to be able to tell us this.
John: Wow, that's the reason. Then why do I have to fold(折叠) up my tiny table and return my seat back to its straight position?
Cindy: Well, in the case of an emergency landing, you should keep your head down and your body tilted(倾斜) forward. If you do not properly place your tiny table and your seat, you or the passenger sitting behind you will not be able to take this right position correctly.
John: Okay, I will follow the rules. And why do you darken(使变暗) the lights when it's dark outside?
Cindy: We darken the lights inside so that your eyes can get used to the darkness outside faster.
John: Thank you for your answers.
Cindy: That's my pleasure. I hope this conversation can help more people! See you!
