It seems like everything in this place was designed around this magical number, from the fact that there are precisely eleven churches, as well as eleven historical fountains, eleven museums and eleven towers, to the unusual clock in the town square that features an eleven-hour dial and the number twelve missing.Although nearly everyone in Solothurn knows about the town's obsession with the number eleven, the origin of that is covered in mystery. The first mention of eleven in Solothurn's history dates back to 1252, when eleven members were first elected for the town's council. Another great example of Solothurn's obsession with the number eleven is the magnificent Cathedral of St. Ursus. Designed by Italian architect Gaetano Matteo Pisoni, it was built in eleven years. It features three sets of steps, each numbering elevenrows, eleven doors, eleven bells and eleven altars (祭坛)，one of which is made out of eleven different types of marble. Interestingly, the altars can be viewed at the same time from only one place in the cathedral, the eleventh black stone in the long central part.The people of Solothurn also show an intense interest in the number eleven in their daily life. There are special celebrations held on eleventh birthdays, and there are local products and businesses that include the special number. There is “Oufi-Bier”(Beer eleven),“eleveni Schokolade”( eleven-Chocolate), and even “oufiyoga”(eleven o'clock yoga).

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 the rest of the journey.Motion sickness occurs when our brain perceives conflicting reports about perceived motion from the eyes and the inner ear. It's usually not a problem when a person is looking out of the window because then both organs perceive motion similarly, but when you're looking down at a phone or a book, the eyes don't 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 literally in those plastic frames. That blue liquid in the rings around the eyes recreate the horizon line to resolve the conflict between the signals sent to the brain by the eyes and inner ear so that the movement detected by the eyes matches that detected by the inner ear. Since Seetroen glasses are actually glassless, they can be worn by anyone, even over actual eyeglasses. You only need to wear them for 10 to 12 minutes to make the symptoms of motion sickness go away.8. What is Seetroen?A. A French car maker.B. A high-tech company.C. A name of eye glasses.D. A kind of technology.9. What can replace the underlined word “plaguing”in Paragraph 4?A. Shocking.B. Troubling.C. Embarrassing.D. Disappointing.10. How does Seetroen help get rid of motion sickness?A. By filling frames with liquid.B. By perceiving the horizon line.C. By removing conflicting signals.D. By adjusting the angles of movements.11. What's 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 They're inconsiderate. They annoy you, And sometimes, they infect you. Wouldn't it be nice if we could ban passengers like that from the plane?2 If you've been wondering whether the airlines should expand their own no-fly lists, you're 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. “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. They're the ones who occupy the bathroom for half an hour. They’re the ones who place their carry-ons above 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 can't sleep, can't listen to music, or even can't get any work done. Wouldn't it be great if we could require passengers to make apromise of silence during the flight?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 mouths," 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 such procedures do not allow for the removal of a passenger without proper legal justification," says David Reischer, CEO of Legal , a legal advice website.12. What may Joseph Flanagan think of the behavior of the passenger next to him?二A. It is against the law.B. It causes discomfort,C. It is none of his business.D. It affects the flight safety.13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Requirements for in-flight behavior.B. Annoying experiences of the author.C. Examples of thoughtless passengers.D. Possible measures against misbehavior.14. Why should sick people be added to no-fly lists according 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 of some passengers should be tolerated.翻译：他们不体谅人。
