26、Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half day for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines(航空公司) 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 cannot 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). 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 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】What do airlines do to solve the problem that food on the plane tastes bad?
A.Get more customers.
B.Offer more food.
C.Improve their food.
D.Reduce the ticket price.
【2】Which of the following factors is NOT part of the reason why plane food tastes bad?
A.High altitude.
B.Poor service.
C.Dry noses.
D.Air pressure.
【3】Why do scientists feel it hard to make 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.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Taste of Airplane Food
B.Airplane Travel
C.Scientific Research on Noses
D.The Change in Air Pressure
27、It’s “Baby Day” at the Riverpark seniors home in Ottawa—a twice monthly event Eulah Johnson, 90, never misses.“I really enjoy it. It's a shift from the regular routine,” says the retired nurse.
Today, Johnson sits on a sofa and looks at a laughing child on the seat of her walker. A few moments later, the girl skips off to play with the dozen or so other small children and babies mixed with 20 of Johnson’s fellow residents.
Some, like 12-month-old Owen, are regular visitors to Ottawa seniors’ homes.“We’ve been doing this since he was three months old,” says his mother, Allison Rodgers, 33.
She loves the social calls, too.“I didn't have grandparents while growing up. It’s nice to spend time with older people, and it feels good to know they re betting so much out of it.”
Babies Who Volunteer, the initiative (倡议) bringing these generations together, is the inspired idea of Jessica Turner, a former educational assistant. The idea came about during a March 2018 visit with her 22-month-old daughter Amelia to a friend’s mother, who was living in a long-term-care unit. She was most surprised by the response of her friend's mother; she hadn’ t spoken in two years, but with Amelia in her lap, she began singing. Turner went home and immediately put out a call on a mums’ Facebook group: Would anyone be interested in dropping by seniors’ residences with their babies?
A year later, there are now 1,500 volunteers, and the organization visits 39 homes in Ottawa. Everyone benefits from intergenerational programmes, she says.“This playgroup is good for the mothers, too. They’re giving something to the community, which provides a sense of purpose and belonging. It can really help someone who is feeling lonely.”
【1】What’s the event Eulah never misses at the seniors home?
A.A visit with his children.
B.Baby Day performances.
C.Children's regular visit.
D.His shift from routine work.
【2】What does Jessica think is the benefit of the project?
A.Children can grow up with their grandparents.
B.Everyone can meet their need for communication.
C.Online attention can be drawn to the life of seniors.
D.Mothers can have a life goal by reaching out to the old.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A.Regular visits to the old.
B.The baby effect on seniors.
C.Connection with the seniors.
D.Mothers’ sense of belonging.
