Task 2: jet lag
Jet 1ag is the feeling of tiredness that comes after crossing time zones in an airplane．People get jet lag often，especially if they travel far．For example，a flight from New York to Beijing is a tong trip．Passengers will cross many time zones and may have a bad case of jet lag．However, there are some things that can help reduce jet lag．First．drink a lot of liquids．Water is the best liquid to drink．Also，eat low—fat foods during the flight．Noodles are always a good choice．Next，try to do some exercise on the plane．Walk around or stretch your muscles．Also，try to adjust your schedule to correspond with the local time as soon as you can．For instance, if you usually go to sleep at 10 p.m., then when the local time is 10 p．m．，go to bed．Finally，when you arrive at your destination．get some exercise．Ask the front desk clerk where the hotel’s gym is．Remember that if you adjust your schedule to correspond with the local time，your jet lag will not be too bad. In general, your body takes only a few days to reset¹ its biological clock，and you’ll soon overcome jet lag．
