2015年公共英语四级精选阅读：不要疲劳驾驶
Fatigue led a pilot to send a passenger plane into a dive over the North Atlantic, injuring 16 people last year, BBC reported。
The drama began when the co-pilot of the Air Canada flight from Toronto to Zurich woke up and wrongly believed the plane was on a collision course. He mistook the planet Venus for another plane。

Passengers without their seat belts on were thrown from their seats。
The report said that during the January 2011 flight the pilot had a 75-minute nap, failing to follow procedure for controlled sleeps of 40 minutes each。
据英国广播公司报道，2011年1月，一名飞行员因疲劳驾驶，导致客机向北大西洋俯冲而下，16名乘客受伤。
事件发生在加拿大航空公司一趟由多伦多飞往苏黎世的航班的飞行途中。当时，副驾驶刚刚睡醒，误将金星当成另一架飞机，认为客机已进入碰撞轨迹。
后来，机上未系安全带的乘客被甩出座位。
报告称，副驾驶在机上睡了75分钟，超过了规定的每次40分钟可控睡眠时限。
