A 108-year-old Message in a Bottle
On November 30, 1906, George Bidder dropped a bottle from a boat into the North Sea. The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor, and then it move slowly for 108 years and 138 days.
Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015. Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island. She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach. She saw a piece of paper inside, but didn’t break it open. She could tell that the bottle was old. So she didn’t want to damage it.
Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle. She found that the paper was actually a postcard. On the back of the card there was this message: The Marine Biological Association（海洋生物學協會） would pay a shilling（先令） for the bottle. A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.
Winkler filled out the card and posted it. The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder, the president of the association from 1939 to 1945. The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling. They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.
The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered. For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in “Guinness World Records”（吉尼斯世界紀錄）. She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.
Winkler’s bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea. Between 1904 and 1906, he spent away more than one thousand bottles. He placed postcards inside them. The bottles were part of a research project to map currents（洋流） in the North Sea. This was the best method at that time. But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them. The association reported that about 55 percent of the bottles were returned. They added that the experiment was a success as it showed the east-to-west flow of the North Sea’s currents.
1. How long did the weighted glass bottle move in the sea?
2.Did Marianne Winkler find the bottle in 2015?
3.What was in the bottle?
4.Who was George Bidder?
5.Why did Bidder drop bottles into the sea?

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 plan. 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（氣壓）reduces one third of the sensibility（感覺）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.
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.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.
3.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
4.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.
5.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Taste of Airplane Food
B. Airplane Travel
C. Scientific Research on Noses
D. The Change in Air Pressure
