六、任务阅读 根据短文内容回答问题 (不超过7个单词) (每小题2分,计10分)
Is it very interesting to travel by plane For people who fly often in economy class (经济舱), the answer may be no. They may feel very tired because of the limited room. But according to Ron Soret, an airplane scientist, there are some ways to enjoy the journey better.
Sit near the front of the plane. When choosing seats, choosing a seat near the front of the plane will have a smoother ride. Soret says, “The front part of the plane is usually the most comfortable. You hardly feel the turbulence (骚乱) if it is not very serious.” Soret also says the front part of the plane is the quietest.
Taking an aisle seat (靠过道座位) is also a good choice. Soret says the aisle seats have bigger leg room. But sitting on the aisle comes with the duty of getting up when fellow passengers in the row have to use the bathroom.
Paying attention to the temperature is important, too. Temperatures in the planes are usually similar to those of your home. And if you are too cold, you can ask for blankets.

47. Where is the quietest
