Everyone has their favorite food. Think about your favorite food. Do you wonder why your favorite food tastes so good? The answer is about your tongue and nose.
There are some taste buds (味蕾) on your tongue. They give you the sense of taste. How do the taste buds work? In fact, they have many tiny hairs on them. These tiny hairs send messages to your brain about the tastes of different food. In this way, you know whether it is sweet, sour, bitter or salty.
A person has about 10,000 taste buds. They keep working all the time when we enjoy our food. The taste buds don’t always stay the same. They are replaced about every two weeks. However, as a person gets older, some of these taste buds don’t get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That’s why some food may taste stronger for you than it does for an older person.
Besides your tongue your nose also helps you learn about the taste of food. Sometimes, strong smell can even confuse (混淆) your sense of taste. Try holding an onion under your nose while eating an apple, the apple must taste terrible.
So the next time you enjoy salty pizza and sweet ice cream, thank your tongue and your nose. Without them, you won’t have any sense of taste at all. Without the sense of taste, life will be boring!

Everyone has their favorite food. Think about your favorite food. Do you wonder why your favorite food tastes so good? The answer is about your tongue and nose.
There are some taste buds (味蕾) on your tongue. They give you the sense of taste. How do the taste buds work? In fact, they have many tiny hairs on them. These tiny hairs send messages to your brain about the tastes of different food. In this way, you know whether it is sweet, sour, bitter or salty.
A person has about 10,000 taste buds. They keep working all the time when we enjoy our food. The taste buds don’t always stay the same. They are replaced about every two weeks. However, as a person gets older, some of these taste buds don’t get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That’s why some food may taste stronger for you than it does for an older person.
Besides your tongue, your nose also helps you learn about the taste of food. Sometimes, strong smell can even confuse (混淆) your sense of taste. Try holding an onion under your nose while eating an apple, the apple must taste terrible.
So the next time you enjoy salty pizza and sweet ice cream, thank your tongue and your nose. Without them, you won’t have any sense of taste at all. Without the sense of taste, life will be boring!
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. How do taste buds send messages to our brains according to the passage?
A. By using our tongues. B. By using our noses.
