But why, after years of often ferocious competition, have airlines decided to band together? Let' s just say the timing is mutually convenient. North American airlines, having exhausted all means of earning customer loyalty at home, have been looking for ways to reach out to foreign flyers. Asian carriers are still burring from the region-wide economic downturn that began two years ago— just when some of the airlines were taking delivery of new aircraft. Alliances also allow carriers to cut costs and increase profits by pooling manpower resources on the ground (rather than each airline maintaining its own ground crew) and code-sharing--the practice of two partners selling tickets and operating only one aircraft.
So alliances are terrific for airlines, but are they good for the passenger? Absolutely, say the airlines: think to the lounges, the joint FFP (frequent flyer programme) benefits, the round-the- world fares, and the global service networks. Then there' s the promise of "seamless" travel: the ability to, say, travel form. Singapore to Rome to New York to Rio de Janiero, all on one ticket, without having to wait hours for connections or worry about your bags. Sounds utopian? Peter Buecking, Cathay Pacific' s director of sales and marketing, thinks that seamless travel is still evolving. "It's fair to say that these links are only in their infancy. The key to seamlessness rests in infrastructure and information sharing. We' re working on this." Henry Ma, spokesperson for Star Alliance in Hong Kong, lists stone of the other benefits for consumers: "Global travelers have an easier time making connections and planning their itineraries." Ma claims alliances also assure passengers consistent service standards.
Critics of alliances say the much-touted benefits to the consumer are mostly pie in the sky, that alliances are all about reducing costs for the airlines, rationalizing services and running joint marketing programmes. Jeff Blyskal, associate editor of Consumer Reports magazine, says the promotional ballyhoo over alliances is much ado about nothing. "I don' t see much of a gain for consumers: alliances are just a marketing gimmick. And as far as seamless travel goes, I' II believe it when I see it. Most airlines can ' t even get their own connections under control, let alone coordinate with another airline."
Blyskal believes alliances will ultimately result in decreased flight choices and increased costs for consumers. Instead of two airlines competing and each operating a flight on the same route at 70% capacity, the allied pair will share the route and ran one full flight. Since fewer seats will be available, passengers will be obliged to pay more for tickets.
The truth about alliances and their merits probably lies somewhere between the travel utopia presented by the players and the evil empires portrayed by their critics. And how much they affect you depends on what kind of traveler you are.

Do you remember the Millennium (千禧年) Goals? When world leaders celebrated the year 2000 with a serious promise to reduce poverty (贫穷) and hunger, check the spread of AIDS, getboys and girls into school, and improve public health, all by 2015? Well, three years down the road, and the UNDPs yearly collection of facts and figures alreadyshows that if we carry on as we are, the only goal likely to be met is that for reducing poverty by ahalf, and that is entirely due to the success of one country-China. It is so vast that the fast-grow-ing economy in China lifts millions of people above the poverty line, even though in Africa, LatinAmerica and the former Soviet Union, people have actually been getting poorer. Otherwise, progress is good only in parts. East Asia should meet its goal of reducing hungerby a half by 2015, and Latin America and the Caribbean are not far behind, but at the present speedof progress, Africa and South Asia wont get there for another hundred years. The good news is that it can be done-there are success stories. Ghana-an economic basketcase in the eighties and early nineties-has managed to find a way out of its difficulties and its nowcomfortably in the middle range of countries, way ahead of the much more naturally wealthy Niger-ia. For Congo, Cambodia or Iraq, ruined by war, or every southern African country damaged by AIDS, there is a Mauritius or a South Korea steadily working its way up the league table towards abetter life for its people. 根据材料请回答下列各 Which of the millennium goals is likely to be met according to the text?
A.Improving public health.
B.Reducing poverty by a half.
C.Sending children to school.
D.Stopping the spread of AIDS.

Famous American Foods
What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across the seas of time? It's chicken soup, one prominent American food expert says.
From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled (赞美)its virtues.
Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. Chickens got another boost (吹捧)in the Book of Genesis, where it is written that birds and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four-legged animals.
But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three years exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chicken's real or imagined curative (治愈的)powers comes from its color.
Her new book, "The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup", looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. Throughout the ages, she said, "There has been a lot of feeling that white-colored foods are easier to eat for the weak woman and the ill".
In addition, "soups, or anything for that matter eaten with a spoon" are considered "comfort foods" Sheraton said. "I love soup and love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish. It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder," Sheraton said from her New York home.
Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new.
The National Broiler Council, the trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that 51 percent of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50 percent said it was versatile, 41 percent said it was economical and 46 percent said it was low in fat.
Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? ______
A.Prominent American Foods
B.History of the Chicken Soup
C.Chicken Soup Recipes
D.Chicken Soup, a Universal Cure-All
