The Monday edition of USA Today said sixty people have died in 84 crashes since 2000. This is more than double the number of crashes during the previous five years. Its study found that more than 10 percent of the U. S. air ambulance helicopters (救护直升机) crashed during that time and about two-thirds of the fatal crashes occurred in poor visibility.After reviewing hundreds of pages of documents and interviewing dozens of pilots, federal officials and executives with the companies that operate the flights, USA Today concluded that air ambulance companies have failed to apply safety requirements that might have saved lives. It also found that helicopters were used "excessively" for patients who weren’t severely injured.But the newspaper also noted that there are studies which show that thousands of lives are saved each year by speedy flights to hospitals. It pointed out, as well, that pilots operate in challenging situations, such as having to land on hospital roofs and being sent on life-and-death tasks to rural accident scenes despite darkness or bad weather. "I don’t know anybody in this industry who isn’t devoted to safety and devoted to what we do," Ron Fergie, president 6f the National EMS Pilots Association, told USA Today. The attitude of USA Today towards the air ambulance companies is（）

Visitors exploring one of Britain’s many historic buildings might expect to see beautiful objects and learn more about history. What they won’t expect is to meet one of the former residents, and to be able to talk to them about their life and times. But, don’t worry. Although many old buildings are said to be frequently visited by ghosts (幽灵), these people are not ghosts at all.All across Britain historic sites will be brought to life by real people. They will be dressed in period costumes (clothes worn in an earlier time in history) and will recreate life as it was once lived at different times during Britain’s history. Activities like these are called "living history", and have become increasingly popular in recent years.An organization named English Heritage, which maintains historic buildings and sites across England, will organize over 500 living history events, ranging from reenactment (再次展现) of battles to traditional story-telling for children.The people who dress up in costumes and take part in these events come from all kinds of backgrounds. Some are trained actors, while others do it as a hobby. What they all have in common, however, is that they do not simply "act". Instead, they learn about every aspect of the period they are bringing to life — everything from the way people behaved to the way they spoke. The people who take part in a "living history" event must（）
For a small island Great Britain has a great length of coastline, and there is no place in the whole country which is more than three hours’ journey by car from the sea. The coast is very varied, with perhaps the best parts in the southwest of England and in the west of Scotland. The coast of Devon and Cornwall, in the south-west, is much indented (向内陆凹进), with many sheltered bays and fine rough points of land extending out into the sea. With so large a population on so small an island the best parts of the coast are inevitably rather crowded during the summer, but much of Devon and Cornwall is still unspoiled, with many picturesque (风景如画的) fishing villages. The other parts of the coast are less dramatic, being partly fiat and partly steep.In the parts nearest to great centres of population big seaside-resort (海淀胜地) towns have grown up. Four of these, Brighton, Bournemouth and Southend in the south, and Blackpool in the north-west, have become important towns themselves, with more than 150, 000 permanent residents each, and there are other big seaside towns whose inhabitants include many retired people. Some of these places are remarkable for the great number of visitors they receive, some to stay for a week or a fortnight, some to spend a few hours on the beach before returning home in the evening. The coast of Devon and Cornwall can be best described as（）
