Once there was a forest where all the animals lived happily together. One day a family went to spend the day in the forest, and the son left his socks there. After the family left, a bear came by, found the socks, and decided to try them on. They fit so well, and he liked them so much that he wouldn't take them off.

All the animals talked about the bear's new look. Soon, in that forest, there began appearing squirrels in shirts, rabbits in shoes, and even rats wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head, telling animals, “This can't be good. Animals don't need clothes!” But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion.

However, it wasn't long before the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees, stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn't go into his hole without taking off his hat first. Even the bear, because of his socks, slipped(滑到)from the river rock and almost killed himself.

When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, “Take off those clothes before one day they're going to kill you.” Those who listened to the doctor's advice stopped having accidents. And the animals realized that they didn't need clothes at all. Starting to wear them had been very dangerous, and they had only done it to make others admire them, and to get attention.

③____▲____ 

  ﹡Be respectful of museum's rule: No touching the art. Hands, fingers, or any body part should never come into contact with the artwork. Some people think a small touch won't hurt a painting. But what if those “touches” would add up in a museum with thousands or millions of visitors each year?

  ﹡No flash photos. Bright lights are of course bad for the artworks.

④ Respect other visitors.

  ﹡Considering others by not blocking(挡住) the view of others who are also there to enjoy the art.

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 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 reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉) of our taste buds (味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, 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. In paragraph 2, the underlined part “this problem” means “_________”.

A. food on the plane is expensive B. passengers stay long in the plane

C. food on the plane tastes bad D. passengers have no food to eat

2. What do airlines do to solve this problem?

A. Offer more food. B. Improve their food C. Get more customers  D. Reduce the ticket price

3. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces about ________ of the sensibility of our taste bud

A. 50% B. 33% C. 25%  D. 20%

4. Why do scientists feel it hard to make food on the plane taste good?

A. They can't find enough volunteers. B. The volunteers don't understand them.

 C. The volunteers don't know about food taste           D. They can't deal with the special environment successfully.
