Now people who are in different parts of the world communicate easier than before. But it is a little hard to understand each other well. Some of them may not understand others’ words, so it’s easy to make a few mistakes.

For example, an important question about eating out, is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours suggests you have lunch with him, you might simply say something like this, “I’m afraid it will have to be some place inexpensive, as I have very little money.” The other person might say, “OK. I will meet you at McDonald’s.” This means it is agreed that the two will go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He might also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson’s”, or “ I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It is great.” This means that the person intends to pay the bill for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, there is no reason why you shouldn’t accept this invitation. You might simply say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”

Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?

To solve this problem , airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.

However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude( 海拔 )we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure( 气压 ) reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉 )of our taste buds( 味蕾 ).So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.

All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy( 辛辣 )food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.

Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.

Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.

1.In Paragraph2,“this problem” means _______.

A. passengers stay long in the plane

B. food on the plane tastes bad

C. passengers have no food to eat

D. food on the plane is expensive

2.Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?

A. The volunteers don’t know about food taste.

B. The volunteers don’t understand them.

C. They can’t find enough volunteers.

D. They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.
