Question

【题目】Car sickness is a common problem faced by many people. 【1】 The ears tell the brain that the body is moving, but the eyes say that the body isn’t moving. This leads to many symptoms of car sickness. Though there is no solution to this problem, there are some ways to make it less unpleasant.

Get fresh air. Some people may find fresh air can make car sickness less serious. 【2】 If symptoms remain, stop the car and get out to breathe in fresh air if possible. The air may help, and stopping the drive should help, too.
