　　1 never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.
　　Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.
　　There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. 1 thought, well, he’s an old guy! For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Surely, his words were the usual “How’s it going?” But he did something different-he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
　　I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversation habit. After a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say “I just found out 1 have six months to live." and someone would reply, “Have a great day!”
　　But that wasn’t the end.
　　He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. "I want to thank you for shopping here today.” he told them, “Wish you have a great day. Bye-bye.”
　　The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture-and in a place they expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.
　　Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.
　　Who was the guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
　　I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.

The researchers think they know why some of us prefer coffee while others like tea more. People who like bitter(苦的)tastes are more likely to drink coffee. The researchers said they found something strange in their research. People who are more sensitive(敏感的)to the bitter taste of caffeine are more likely to prefer coffee to tea. They also drink more coffee than those who were not so sensitive to caffeine.
　　Researchers looked at the data on more than 400, 000 people in the U.K. and they also looked at an Australian study about the tastes of 1, 757 twins and their brothers and sisters. They find that other things can also change our taste, like environment, social factors( H素)or medicine. One researcher thinks we can learn to like coffee.

　　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 provide passengers with 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 some studies, a part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at a high altitude We can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists find 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 our
taste buds(味蕾).So our taste buds become senseless. 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 hot food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless. Now there are many studies 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.
　　Scientists try their best, but 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.

B. Airlines choose to eat hot food without salt.

(4) Why do scientists feel it hard to make food on the plane taste good?
A. The volunteers don’t know about food taste.

　　Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure? Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip, I never know what will happen.
　　Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation-in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I thought it was annoying.
　　Fortunately, I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
　　She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.
　　There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.

　　There are many wetlands(湿地)in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区)is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red Crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
