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 for a long time. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Some passengers complain about the food to the airline companies , and some others even refuse to eat them. 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 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 reduces one third of the sensibility of our taste buds（味蕾）. So our taste buds become senseless (没有知觉的). 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.

George is a rich man. He likes playing jokes. On Christmas Eve, he wants to give his housekeeper(管家) Jack a big reward (奖赏). He tells Jack, "There are four bowls of porridge here. I put two gold coins(金币)in one of the bowls. Dear Jack, let’s see if you are lucky.”

Jack wants the gold coins very much, but he is not sure which bowl is the right one. He drinks some porridge from the first bowl. Suddenly, he feels the gold coins should be in the second bowl, so he turns to it and drinks half the porridge.

He then drinks half the porridge in the third bowl, too. After that he starts to get a little unhappy. At last, he changes his mind. He drinks half of the porridge in the fourth bowl with much difficulty --at this moment Jack is so full that he can't drink any porridge. In the end, hie doesn't get even one gold coin.
