【答案解析】[解析] Good afternoon. This is your captain speaking. We have found a strong air current ahead for the next forty miles or so. Passengers are therefore strongly advised to remain in their seats with their seat belts on for their own protection and to avoid use of the rest rooms for time being, if at all possible. During this time, young children should be firmly fastened into their seats. Please observe these precautions until the seat-belt warning sign has gone off. Lunch will be served after we have passed through the air current zone. Thank you. [解析]由全文大意可知本题答案为B。
