Solar airplane to complete round-the-world flight The solar-powered aircraft Solar Impulse 2 has arrived in Cairo, Egypt on the second-last leg of a round-the-world journey. The Swiss-built, zero-fuel aircraft has the wingspan of a 747 but the weight of a normal passenger car. The plane started from Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. in 2015, flew across Asia, landed in Nagoya, Japan, and then crossed the Pacific Ocean via Hawaii, then over North America. It landed in Spain last week, and crossed the Mediterranean to Cairo. In a few days the airplane is expected to fly to Abu Dhabi, completing the round-the-world project. Updates can be found on www.solarimpulse.com

simmer down
 Laura: I’m so mad at my sister. We were supposed to go to a beach resort this weekend, but she cancelled at the last minute, and now I have to pay a cancellation fee to the resort. It’s so unfair!
Lindsey: Just simmer down for a moment. Why don’t you ask some of your friends if they want to join you at the resort? That way you can still enjoy your weekend and you won’t have to lose any money.
Explanation: The phrase “simmer down” means to cool down after becoming angry. The original meaning is to warm foods or liquids without boiling them. When we tell a person to simmer down, we mean that they should keep their anger under the boiling point.
simmer down (verb phrase): 弱火・落着ける・静まる
boiling point (noun): 沸点

One of our top shareholders is going to visit the company next Thursday afternoon. I need you to have two or three polite and experienced staff members available to show him around the factory. They should set a specific tour route, and they should also be ready to answer any technical questions.
