阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案
A supersonic airliner(超音速客机)like the Concorde(协和式)flies at twice the speed of sound. A passenger can leave London at noon and arrive in New York at ten o'clock that same morning. There is a five-hour time difference between the two cities, and the Concorde can cross the Atlantic in only three hours That evening the passenger will feel it is time to go to bed when it is only six o'clock in the evening. Airline pilots suffer from this jet lag very much. It may be in the middle of the night in Hong Kong but their stomachs are still on London time, where it is dinner time.Pilots and other airline crew have to adjust to (适应)constant changes in time.
