RIO DE JANEIRO， March 18 (Xinhua) -- Palmeiras forward Dudu has been drafted into Brazil's squad for the team's World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Paraguay， according to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
The 25-year-old， who has been capped three times for Brazil， replaces injured Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa， who was ruled out with a knee injury， the CBF said in a statement.
Dudu was a key part of the Palmeiras side that won last year's Brazilian Serie A championship. In January， he scored the only goal in Brazil's victory over Colombia in an unofficial friendly that raised money for families of victims of the Chapecoense air crash.
Brazil currently lead the South American zone qualifying standings for the 2018 World Cup and will secure a berth at the tournament in Russia if they beat Uruguay in Montevideo on Thursday.
The Selecao will also meet Paraguay at Sao Paulo's Arena Corinthians on March 28.

TORONTO， May 3 (Xinhua) -- Feels bursting anger during air travel? It is probably only because your flight has a first-class cabin and you have to walk past it before finding your own seat， a new study shows.
The study， published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America， is co-authored by Katy DeCelles of the University of Toronto and Michael Norton of the Harvard Business School.
It reveals that class difference is a far more powerful factor triggering air rage incidents， compared with factors such as crowdedness， alcohol consumption and long flights.
Simply having a first-class compartment made an air rage incident nearly four times more likely， equivalent to the effect of a nine-hour flight delay， the study found. The bad behavior was higher not only for economy passengers， but those in first class too.
The findings came after the two researchers studied thousands of documented disruptive flight incidents over several years for a large international airline.
A suggestion for air travel operators would be to use a dual-gate boarding system， said DeCelles. "The more you can use those dual gates to board airplanes， separating the first-class cabin from the economy cabin， you're going to have less air rage in both cabins."

The majority of trade again took place with other EU member states， from whom Austria imported 38.9 billion euros worth of goods， a 2.5 percent increase， and to whom it exported goods worth 37.4 billion euros， a 1.9 percent increase.
Trade with Britain in particular saw a significant boost， with imports in the first five months of the year， prior to the Brexit vote， up 12.3 percent to nearly 1.1 billion euros， and exports up 2.8 percent to 1.7 billion euros. (1 euro=1.11 U.S. dollar) Enditem

BRIEF HISTORY
Mountain Province became a special province of the Philippines in 1907. It was made up of the sub-provinces of Bontoc-Lepanto, Amburayan Nike Air Force 1 Mid Mens Australia Cheap , Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao and Kalinga. The Provincial Supervisor, Samuel Kane Nike Air Force 1 Mid Mens Australia , was appointed Governor of the province and Bontoc was then the capital town.
In February 1942, the dreaded Japanese Army arrived in Bontoc via the Nueva Viscaya and Kalinga route. A garrison was established in the town. The Anglican Mission dormitories were served as quarters for the officers. Dr. Hillary Clapp was made governor of Mountain Province and during his term, the people were spared from so much suffering from the Japanese colonizers.
