35、the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives. Inside, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel.

For 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency. The challenge had been to suggest imaginative ex

37、periments to be conducted in weightless conditions.

According to the report, shoppers believe food labels because they think there are strict regulations in place. 50 . So the food industry can get away with all sorts of tricky strategie

46、s to make products look bigger and sound better than they are. The report has identified the different ways in which shoppers are misled. 51 . Descriptions on packaging are sometimes inaccurate in an attempt to oversell the product. One example given in the report is the phrase "haddock fillets

47、", used for a product that is in fact cut from big blocks of fish rather than individual slices. 52 . These include "traditional", "wholesome", or "premium". The claim that a brand is "90% fat-free" hides the fact that it contains 10% fat, which above rec

48、ommended levels. Phrases such as "free from preservatives" make a virtue out of a normal attribute of food. Labels have a wide variety of text sizes on them. You sometimes need a magnifying glass to read the small print. 53 . Another deliberate type of misinformation lies in the image. Man
