Reading. Just the job

Read the text and choose True or False for the following statements.

A pilot is a trained person who can fly a plane. Pilots must go to a special school for pilots and pass a written test to show that they know how to fly very well. Pilots should know several languages because they travel to different countries. Twice a year a doctor must examine pilots to make sure that they can see and hear well.

Some pilots help people to travel, test new planes, do police work or help people who are in danger. Before the flight, the pilot must plan the flight carefully. He checks his plane to make sure that it works properly. Then the pilot checks the weather because it is very dangerous to fly in bad weather conditions.

Pilots fly to different countries and often stay away from the family for a long period. They have to get up very early and spend a lot of time in the air. It is very difficult to have a family, but they can see many places in the world.
