First, you have some time to look at questions one to five. 00:00:21,300 Now listen carefully and answer questions one to five. 00:00:50,700 Good morning, Smart Travel. Jason speaking. 00:00:54,540 Hi, good morning. I saw your advert in today's paper about hot air balloon trips. It sounds pretty exciting, and I wonder how much it costs. 00:01:06,300 Well, the price may vary depending on the location, number of participants, and add-ons. A single ride may cost you up to two hundred and eighty pounds per person. But if you choose group booking, there is a discount, and the cheapest flight is 125 pounds each for a group booking of at least ten people. 00:01:29,200 Oh, that's not too bad. What do you mean by add-ons? 00:01:34,170 They are optional items like taking photos for you during the ride, champagne, and sit-down breakfast after the flight. Upon completing the trip, we will provide each participant with a certificate, and that is entirely free of charge. 00:01:51,260 Can I book a ride over the phone? 00:01:54,020 Yes, that's an option. Reservations can be made one year ahead of your trip by telephone. But to pick a specific date, you must book online. A confirmation email will be sent to you right afterwards. 00:02:08,620 How high can the balloons go? 00:02:11,440 A hot air balloon's height is limited by the temperature of the air and how much fuel it can carry. And the highest altitude ever recorded for a ride is 1800 meters, but most rides stay below three hundred meters. 00:02:28,220 Oh boy, that's impressive. How long is a single ride? 00:02:33,720 The average hot air balloon ride lasts about an hour. The entire ballooning experience, which includes ground preparation, flight, and post-flight packing up and celebration, may take two to three hours. 00:02:48,540 And what time are the flights? 00:02:51,140 Our flights generally meet about an hour before sunrise on the day. You will be notified of the exact meeting time the evening before your flight. Night flights are avoided due to weather conditions. 00:03:04,500 Fair enough. 00:03:08,400 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten. 00:03:20,300 Now listen and answer questions six to ten. 00:04:02,000 Which month do you recommend for a hot air balloon trip? 00:04:06,280 Autumn is the best time of year to take the trip. Not only can you see the changing hues of the trees from above, but it is a great way to spend time with the whole family before it gets too cold. 00:04:19,720 I see. 00:04:21,019 But please note that our flight may be canceled, and you will be notified by phone the day before. 00:04:27,460 Why is that? 00:04:28,960 It can be quite dangerous to fly under bad weather conditions like a thunderstorm, so our experienced pilots will not go under such conditions. 00:04:39,340 What should I wear for the ride? 00:04:42,060 We suggest wearing comfortable clothing like a jacket. Multiple layers are always better. Wearing a helmet for safety concerns is also a good idea. Sandals are not permitted. 00:04:55,680 Can children or older people participate? 00:04:59,900 All children must be above the minimum age of nine years old, and they have to be accompanied by at least a parent or guardian. However, an adult has no age limit as long as they meet the health requirements. 00:05:14,840 What exactly are the health requirements? 00:05:18,540 Participants must at least be in fair physical condition. For example, they shall have no significant knee, hip, or back problems and no recent surgeries or broken bones. They must also stand unassisted for an hour during the flight. It is the required position during the whole flight. As the balloon comes to land, all passengers will need to adopt the landing position with knees bent in front of them. 00:05:47,260 Are those rides safe? 00:05:49,580 Hot air balloon companies are required to have a commercial balloon pilot license, and all our pilots go through rigorous training before they are allowed to fly. It is a relatively gentle activity. However, the impact of a balloon landing can vary drastically depending on factors like wind speed. Sometimes it is similar to the momentum of jumping off a small chair. If you cannot jump off a small chair, speaking to your doctor before booking a balloon flight is best. 00:06:23,540 Thank you very much. I think that's all I need to know. 00:06:27,700 Thanks for calling. Goodbye. 00:06:32,460 That is the end of part one. You now have half a minute to check your answers to part one. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
