Researchers have found that cutting up children's food rather than giving them meals where they have to bite with their front teeth makes them better behaved at the dinner table.
Foods that children have to pick up and bite into using their front teeth — such as chicken or whole apples — encourage aggressive(攻击性的) behavior, scientists at Cornell University have found.
Children eating chicken on the bone were twice as aggressive as those given the same chicken cut into pieces, the study reports. Those eating on-the-bone chicken also ignored(忽视) adults' instructions more than twice as often and displayed much worse dinnertime behavior — such as standing on the table or jumping off chairs.
This is thought to be an example of so-called “facial feedback(面部反馈)”, where using certain facial muscles improves particular emotions.
Facial feedback from smiling is well known. People holding a pencil between their nose and upper lip — preventing smiling — consider a cartoon far less interesting than those forced to smile by holding the pencil between their teeth.
In the case of eating, foods such as on-the-bone chicken, boiled corn and whole apples require the front teeth to be used for biting.
Showing the front teeth uses the same facial muscle as the one that is used to show aggression, and the feedback may immediately increase aggressive behavior. Showing the front teeth is a common sign of aggression in the animal world. Being surrounded by bare(龇开的) teeth may make a child feel under threat, further increasing their aggression. As children have less self-control, they are more influenced by facial feedback than adults.
This small study, named Eating Behaviors, looked at six to ten year olds, but the same effects are expected in both older and younger children. The advice from study leader, Professor Brian Wansink, is simple: “If you want a nice, quiet, relaxing meal with your kids, cut up their food.”
( ) 1. Why is it good for children to have food cut up?
A. They will eat more. B. They behave better at the table.
C. They will have healthy teeth. D. They are happy eaters.
( ) 2. What may children eating on-the-bone chicken do?
A. Become less aggressive. B. Stand on the table.
C. Keep seated on the chairs. D. Throw the bones.
( ) 3. Children with a pencil between their nose and upper lip will think cartoons than those who are forced to smile.
A. less boring B. more aggressive C. more boring D. less aggressive
( ) 4. Which food is best for children's behavior at the table?
A. Small pieces of meat B. Whole corn C. A whole apple D. A bone

David Adler is a dreamer. He always has been. As a boy, he often made up stories to make his brothers and sisters happy. His parents owned a house with three floors. They used it to keep unwanted things on the third floor. David loved to crawl(爬) around up there, looking through all the things. It gave him ideas for even more stories to tell!
David, the dreamer, grew up and became a teacher. He didn’t stop dreaming, though. One day his three-year-old nephew visited him. He asked David a question. That question was followed by another question. And one after another. The boy’s questions just kept coming! After he left, David’s head was filled with all the questions his nephew had asked. David Adler wrote a story using all those thoughts. He sent it off to a publisher to see if they liked it. They did! His first story was going to become a book! It was called A Little At A Time.
Not a lot changed after David Adler wrote his first book. The only thing that changed was he started doing more writing. David decided to take a break from teaching when his first son was born. His wife had a good job and wanted to go back to work. David had to stay at home to care for his son. Later, David took notes of all the things that he needed each time he took the baby outside.
That thought inspired(激发) him to write a mystery book. It would be the first of many books centred on a character named Cam Jansen, a girl with an amazing memory. The books were a big success. Then he gave up teaching and became a full-time writer.
David Adler has dreamed up a lot of different stories. He still spends a lot of time dreaming. It is how he comes up with ideas for his books. He says, “Don’t Think. Just Write!” He does his best work when he just writes the things that come into his head.
