Experiment with Our Food
Want to cook up a delicious meal? It’s not just about the food. We chat to psychologist Prof. Charles Spence about the strange science of gastrophysics. What exactly is gastrophystcs?
It’s a combination of ‘gastronomy (美食学)’ and ‘psychophysics’, which involves the scientific study of how our experience of food and drink is affected by our senses and our surroundings, not just the food itself. It’s a small but growing area of research which brings together psychologists, neuroscientists, marketers, chefs, product designers, and even musicians. So what kinds of things can affect our sense of taste?
Pretty much everything! From the colour and shape of the plates to the weight and material of the cutlery (餐具), through to the shape of the table and the feel of the chair you’re sitting on. Then there’s the number of people you’re with, the mood you’re in, the lighting and background music in the restaurant, and memories associated with the food. When you put all these factors together, it adds up a lot. What’s the most surprising way in which our taste can be influenced?
It’s the idea of sonic seasoning’, which uses sounds to change the taste of food. You can add as much as 15 per cent extra sweetness, sourness, or bitterness to a food simply by playing the right sort of music. We’ve created music to enhance sweetness and bitterness, and we also have music for sour, and spicy foods. Working with the Michelin-starred chocolatier Dominique Persoone in Belgium, we even showed that if we played ‘creamy’ music in his stores we could add extra creaminess to his chocolate.
Neuroscientists have found direct connections in the mouse brain between the senses of smell and sound, so it might be that this occurs in humans too. Sonic seasoning is already being used to enhance meals in fancy restaurants, but we could also see it being used to benefit health by, for example, playing ’sweet’ music so that we’re happy with less sugar in our food. What’s the most innovative use of gastrophysics you’ve seen?
There’s a lot happening in the world of cutlery design. Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant The Fat Duck is currently serving a dish called Counting Sheep, which comes with a fluffy (毛茸茸的), weighted spoon that smells of baby powder, designed to enhance the eating experience. We’ve found that food tends to taste better with heavier cutlery -- possibly because we associate weight with quality.
1.Which of the following statements is true of gastrophysics?
A.It covers different subjects. B.It neglects food to some extent.
C.It has been in existence for long. D.It is created by a psychophysicist.
2.According to Charles Spence, how can sonic seasoning be used to do good to our health?
A.Helping us to be more resistant to the temptation to eat unhealthy food.
B.Playing some music to make us feel our food is sweeter than it really is.
C.Making experiments with mice to find out what food benefits our health.
D.Training human brains to associate certain sounds with a particular flavour.
3.Which of the following examples best illustrates the use of gastrophysics?
A.A restaurant hires a psychologist to design its layout.
B.A restaurant varies the sweetness of its food.
C.A restaurant uses heavier plates to serve food.
D.A restaurant asks its customers for suggestions.

Food is key to our daily functions by fueling our activity and supporting our bodies and minds. In space, where astronauts face extreme environmental and physical changes, the need for safe, nutritious and energy- laden food is particularly vital to overall health.
Space food must provide enough energy to fuel astronauts on their demanding missions, according to NASA.In microgravity (low gravity state that makes astronauts appear to be weightless) environments, proper nutrition can fight against the resulting degradation of bones and muscles. For example, vitamins D, K and C aid in synthesizing (合成) calcium into bone. Meanwhile, dietary supplements like iron, omega-3 fatty acids and B12 can make up for dietary insufficiency.
After decades of nutritional studies and food technology advancements, NASA has moved focus away from supplements and dietary formulas (配方) toward providing as many nutrients from fruits and vegetables as possible. However, it can be difficult to rely heavily on fruits and vegetables as a space food source because they don’t contain many calories. This poses an issue for spaceflight, where cargo (货物) room is precious.
NASA can’t merely consider health when designing space food, though. The nutritional value of a meal only goes so far if it doesn’t appeal to astronauts. Rather, Grace Douglas, the lead scientist for NASA’s Advanced Food Technology research group, and her colleagues aim to offer astronauts several meal. options to avoid menu fatigue (疲劳). Such variety also provides psychological health benefits.“ Food becomes more important with mission duration because it’s one of the only familiar things that they have, ” Douglas says.
As space organizations look ahead to. long- duration missions, it will be key to craft a sustainable food source that doesn’t require resupply missions. To achieve this, NASA scientists are studying the best ways to grow crops in microgravity. On the International Space Station, astronauts have successfully grow n a variety of leafy greens and flowers in the Vegetable Production System, known as Veggie. Eating a fresh leafy green could help astronauts feel connected with the distant green planet they call home.
4.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The importance of space food design. B.The challenges for astronauts in space.
C.The general requirements for space food. D.The impact of microgravity on astronauts.
5.How do Douglas’s team enhance astronauts’ dining experience?
A.They make food look appealing. B.They rearrange the menu schedule.
C.They provide multiple food choices. D.They conduct taste tests on astronauts.
6.What can astronauts expect from Veggie?
A.A supplement to the oxygen supply.
B.Supply of psychological comfort
C.Enhancement of the nutritional quality.
D.An improvement in communication with Earth.
7.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.How do astronauts eat in space?
B.What makes space food so special?
C.What space food will we have in the future?
D.How do scientists build the best diet for astronauts?

The market for “ready-to-eat” cereals shrank by 9% in America between 2012 and 2015, according to Euromonitor, a data firm. In Britain, the second-biggest cereal market, sales fell by 6%.
Now, the manufacturers are boasting a(n) 3 . On February 16th General Mills told investors that its American cereal sales were stabilising.

Cereal firms have tried many ways to cope with customer’s 5 appetites. They have 6 . Post Holdings, which sells Honey Bunches of Oats and Grape-Nuts, now also sells eggs and protein shakes. Some firms have 7 trendier brands, with mixed results. After Kellogg bought Kashi in 2000, many of its loyal customers 8 . Kellogg is now trying to win them back, returning Kashi’s headquarters to California. A new Kashi cereal features popped sorghum (高粱), crispy yellow peas and smashed red beans.
Makers are also spending to help their main brands. Kellogg has put more fruit in its Special K Red Berries cereal. General Mills plans to 9 all artificial flavours and colours from its cereals by 2023. Retailers do not want cereal to enter terminal decline — it is too 10 for them. Jim Holbrook, who led Post’s cereal business and is now boss of Daymon Worldwide, a retail consultant, says grocers might 11 sales by placing milk or bananas alongside cereal.
For now, cereal-makers can take 12 that at least some brands are still popular. Sales of Kellogg’s Froot Loops and General Mills’ Cinnamon Toast Crunch have 13 in recent years, points out Alexia Howard of Sanford C. Bernstein, a research firm, even as more virtuous brands such as Fiber One, All-Bran and (until recently) Special K were failing. 14 shoppers may or may not come back to their cereal habit just due to smashed red beans. But cereal’s most 15 customers are those who don’t mind heaps of sugar, or “red #40” food colouring, in their breakfast bowls.

Much of the information we have about early Chinese tea culture comes from The Classic of Tea, also known as Cha Ching, 1 (write) by Lu Yu, who was born in 733 AD in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, drinking tea was 2 nationwide tradition. Though at first tea drinking appeared in Southern China, during the mid-Tang Dynasty it started to gain 3 (popular) with Northern Chinese.
When Lu Yu was young, he developed a great interest in tea. As he 4 (grow) up, he stayed in Huomen mountain, studying under the guidance of master Zou Fuzi. During this period, Lu Yu often went to the countryside 5 (gather) tea leaves. In one of those trips Lu Yu found the water from a spring was extremely clear and clean. When Lu Yu made tea with this spring water, he found the tea tasted unexpectedly better 6 usual. From then on, Lu Yu realised the importance of quality water in 7 (make) tea.
In Lu Yu’s later years, he concentrated 8 the research into tea and completed his masterpiece The Classic of Tea. The book contains three parts. The first part has three chapters (章), discussing tea and its production. The second one has one chapter, listing utensils (器皿) for production. And there are six chapters in the last part, 9 covers subjects from tea appreciation to old records.

Kellogg follows, reporting on February 17th that it expects its American cereal sales to grow this year. But it will take hard work to make breakfast’s business 4 again.
Cereal firms have tried many ways to cope with customer’s 5 appetites. They have 6 . Post Holdings, which sells Honey Bunches of Oats and Grape-Nuts, now also sells eggs and protein shakes. Some firms have 7 trendier brands, with mixed results. After Kellogg bought Kashi in 2000, many of its loyal customers 8 . Kellogg is now trying to win them back, returning Kashi’s headquarters to California. A new Kashi cereal features popped sorghum (高粱), crispy yellow peas and smashed red beans.
Makers are also spending to help their main brands. Kellogg has put more fruit in its Special K Red Berries cereal. General Mills plans to 9 all artificial flavours and colours from its cereals by 2023. Retailers do not want cereal to enter terminal decline — it is too 10 for them. Jim Holbrook, who led Post’s cereal business and is now boss of Daymon Worldwide, a retail consultant, says grocers might 11 sales by placing milk or bananas alongside cereal.
For now, cereal-makers can take 12 that at least some brands are still popular. Sales of Kellogg’s Froot Loops and General Mills’ Cinnamon Toast Crunch have 13 in recent years, points out Alexia Howard of Sanford C. Bernstein, a research firm, even as more virtuous brands such as Fiber One, All-Bran and (until recently) Special K were failing. 14 shoppers may or may not come back to their cereal habit just due to smashed red beans. But cereal’s most 15 customers are those who don’t mind heaps of sugar, or “red #40” food colouring, in their breakfast bowls.
