We walked from my work place to a little restaurant on David Street. 13 the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered to pay for the lunch，I was afraid I would hurt her.
There were many people in the 14 and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to 15 in the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to 16 the delicious food together.

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(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 air pressure(气压) reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉) of our taste buds(味蕾)。 So our taste 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(辛辣的)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 couldn’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,"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. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds _______.
A. half B. one third C. one fourth D. one fifth
( )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
