Motion sickness (晕动症) is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it may be called carsickness, seasickness or airsickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy.

It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused (混乱的) with each other.We use different parts of our body to feel movement.Our eyes tell us if we are moving.The inner ears (内耳) has a special liquid (液体) that helps us sense the direction and balance. Our muscles (肌肉) react to movement.When you walk around,these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car, a ship or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness.

But some people are less sensitive(敏感的)to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes (基因) that prevent mismatching senses.

Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness, scientists believe that the key is to simply try and get used to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts will get used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable any more.

C．Walking around can cause motion sickness. D．It may happen to everyone.

43．Why do some people have motion sickness?

A．Something is wrong with their stomachache. B．Their senses stop working.

C．There is a mismatch among their senses. D．They can’t see that they are moving.

44．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A．Some astronauts have motion sickness. B．A way to deal with motion sickness.

C．The reason why motion sickness happens. D．The importance of daily exercise.

45．What’s the best title for this passage?

A．Feelings B．The Fun of Travel C．Senses D．Motion Sickness

Later, delivery workers would take food to their homes. In the famous Song Dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival(清明上河图), a takeout worker can be seen doing a delivery with food in hand.

Fourth, to save food. I seldom eat out. I never order more food than I can eat while eating out. If I can’t eat it up, I’ll pack the leftovers home.

Last, to save paper. I always use both sides of the paper.
