16．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．

●NO more comparisons

Practicing is equally important if you want to succeed because practice make perfect．Practice every day at any career you are in，and by doing so，you will see yourself，your business and your self-confidence begin to grow．If you feed confident about what you do，this confidence will make other people believe in you more as well．Your workmates will be happy to work with you，and your boss will give you more important things to do．Finally if you succeed，you can look people in the eye and smile confidently．
Success is yours for the taking!Cheers!

11．When we say someone is in a blue mood，it means he or she is unhappy or sad．Are you feeling a little blue？Here are some fast and easy ways to cheer you up．
Exercise
When you exercise，your brain gives out a chemical called Endorphin （内啡肽）．This chemical makes you feel happy．That is why exercise is good for you．
Have a talk
If something or somebody is troubling you．don't quarrel with other people to relax yourself．It is a good idea to have a heart-to-heart with a friend or a family member．Tell them your feelings．A chat is a useful way to make you feel better．
Have some bobbies
For example，playing pop music，drawing something or listening to your favorite music will make you smile．Act like an artist．Draw，paint or make something．Being active and creative makes you feel more satisfied and less nervous．
Laugh more
Laughing is the best way to improve your moods．Children laugh about 400times a day．Adults only laugh about 20times a day．What happen？Experts say if we laugh more，we will be happier and healthier．
Think positively
Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful scene or a time．Never think about anything terrible that you can't change．What's more，leave your flat and go outside．Sun and fresh air are good for you．Be a kid for a day．Play games，watch comedy movies or read jokes online．
