17、 According to the oficial press release, after being worn for 10 to 12 minutes, the glasses enable the mind to resynchronise(重新同步) with the movement perceived by the inner ear while the eyes focus on an immobile object such as a smartphone or a book and the wearer can just take them off and enjoy th

18、e rest of the journey.Motion sickness occurs when our brain perceives conflicting reports about perceived motion from the eyes and the inner ear. Its usually not a problem when a person is looking out of the window because then both organs perceive motion similarly, but when youre looking down at a

19、phone or a book, the eyes dont perceive the motion the same way, and the reports sent to your brain contradict those from the inner ear, and the confusion results in motion sickness.So how do Setroen cure the annoying condition that has been plaguing mankind for centuries? Well, the secret is litera

20、lly in those plastic frames.

23、f movements.11. Whats the best title of the text?A. A creative cure for motion sickness.B. The amazing rise of a French start-up.C. A new understanding of motion sickness.D. The popularity of liquid-filled eyeglasses.D1 Theyre inconsiderate. They annoy you, And sometimes, they infect you. Wouldnt it

24、 be nice if we could ban passengers like that from the plane?2 If youve been wondering whether the airlines should expand their own no-fly lists, youre not alone. Joseph Flanagan, an engineer from Golden, Colorado, thinks the kind of passenger he sat next to on a recent flight should be blacklisted.

25、 “We were barely 10 minutes into the flight when he pulled off his shoes and then put his damp feet on the chair in front of him, he recalls.3 Inconsiderate passengers come in all shapes and sizes. Theyre the ones who occupy the bathroom for half an hour. Theyre the ones who place their carry-ons ab

26、ove your seat and then walk 10 rows back. One of the most annoying passengers, of course, is the one who talks nonstop. As a result, you cant sleep, cant listen to music, or even cant get any work done. Wouldnt it be great if we could require passengers to make a promise of silence during the flight

27、?4 Another category of passengers that can- and should一be banned are people who are ill. Sharon Lawrence, a mental health therapist from Largo, Maryland, says people who know they are sick should stay grounded. “I have had to sit next to individuals who are sick, coughing, barely covering their mout

28、hs, she says. “As a result of a few of these flights, 1 have become ill after flying.”5 However, expanding the airline blacklists is easier said than done. Federal Aviation Administration regulations permit airlines to remove passengers if the safety and health of other travelers are affected. “But

Examples of thoughtless passengers. D. Possible measures against misbehavior.14. Why should sick people be added to no-fly lists acc

31、ording to Sharon Lawrence?A. They are likely to cough constantly. B. They can not attend to themselves.C. They may infect other passengers. D. They will miss timely treatment.15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Stricter restrictions for air travel must be set at once.B. Misbehavior o

32、f some passengers should be tolerated.C. The government prohibits the removal of passengers.D. It may be illegal to blacklist misbehaving passengers. 翻譯：他們不體諒人。它們會(huì)讓你惱火，有時(shí)還會(huì)感染你。如果我們能禁止這樣的乘客上飛機(jī)不是很好嗎？如果你一直想知道航空公司是否應(yīng)該擴(kuò)大他們自己的禁飛名單，你并不孤單。來自科羅拉多州戈?duì)柕堑墓こ處熂s瑟夫弗拉納根（Joseph Flanagan）認(rèn)為，他最近乘坐的航班上坐在旁邊的那種乘客應(yīng)該被列入黑名單。他
