One day, I went to see my last patient, an old woman. In the doorway, I saw she was trying to put socks on her feet. I stepped in and spoke quickly to the nurse. I was almost in the clear that she was not in serious condition.
I asked, Could I help put on your socks? How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they are better today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your son. He’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have a family visit. I think you really look forward to seeing him."
“Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not yours.” She said in a serious voice.
I was surprised as I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the comer from here, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that was the main cause of her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are simple. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others don’t have clear ends. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matter to the story teller is that the story is heard—without interruption(打断) or judgment(评价).
It was that woman who taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected accident, I became a patient. 20 years later, I sit all the time—in a wheelchair.
For as long as I could. I continued to see patients from my chair. I believe in the power of listening.
How did the doctor know that the old woman’s son was visiting her?

A．The doctor got it from her chart noting.
B．The old woman told him.
C．The woman’s son told him.
D．The nurse told him.

What did the old woman think caused her health problems?

A．Her son’s not seeing her.
B．No one listening to her story.
C．The medical care of the hospital.
D．The distance between her house and her son’s.

When the patient told the doctor her stories, what she needed might be ___________.

A．keeping smiling
B．interruption or judgment
C．being listened without interruption
D．communicating with each other

What can we learn from the story?

A．We should live far from our parents.
B．The doctors should take care of the patients.
C．We should try to be a good listener.
D．We should be brave and patient when facing difficulties.

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 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 can't deal with the special environment successfully，such as the change in air pressure，making food taste good is still hard for them．

61．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

62．What do airlines do to solve this problem？ 　 　

A．

Get more customers．

B．

Offer more food．

C．

Improve their food．

D．

Reduce the ticket price．

63．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

64．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．

Taste of Airplane Food
