Unseen Passage For Class 7 CBSE – Passage 1
Airplanes have a reputation for being dangerous and even inveterate travelers are intimidated
by them. They also have the serious disadvantage of being the most expensive means of
transportation, but nothing can match them for speed and comfort, traveling at an altitude of
30,000 feet, well above the clouds, and at more than 500 miles per hour is an admirable
experience. You don’t have to come up with ways to take your mind off the journey, as a
plane whisks you quickly to your destination.
For a few hours, you settle into a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The true escapist can
watch a free movie and have a hot or cold drink at some services. But even when such snacks
aren’t available, there’s plenty to keep you busy. An airplane offers you an unusual and
impressive view of the world. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You
really see the shape of the earth.
If the landscape is hidden from view, you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken
clouds, plains stretching for miles before you as the sun shines brightly in a clear sky. The ride
is so smooth that there is nothing to stop you from reading or sleeping. Regardless of how
you decide to spend your time, one thing is for sure: you will arrive at your destination fresh
and wrinkle-free. You won’t have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and
arduous journey.

reused, such as paper, metals and glass, which can be sent to the nearest recycling center or
