Over the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how far Americans typically drive to buy food, how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens. In the mid-2000s he famously coined the phrase “mindless eating” (and wrote a book by that name) to focus attention on all the bad dietary decisions we make without really thinking about them.
His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Here are some examples.
Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snack food, no bread, no nuts—not even breakfast cereals. In Wansink's research, “women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that was visible—anywhere in their kitchens—weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbors who didn't.”
Trick yourself into drinking less wine. “We tend to focus on the height of what we pour and not the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wine glasses than we pour into wider wine glasses.” And the shape of the glass is not the only variable(变量) that affects how much we drink. Wansink writes,“Because red wine is easier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less whenever we pour a glass of red wine.”
Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when sitting in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: apparently the idea of getting a “free” second meal outweighed the impulse(冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didn't. Fruit and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those on lower shelves.
The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your environment or habits. Then you won't have to think about it: You'll just eat less.
1.Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life?
A.Because he wanted people to become thin.
B.Because he wanted people to learn from him.
C.Because he hoped to coin a new phrase “mindless eating”.
D.Because he wished to change the design of dining places.
2.According to Wansink, which of the following affects the amount of wine we drink?
A.The shape of wine glasses. B.The color of wine glasses.
C.The taste of wine. D.The quality of wine.
3.What does the underlined phrase “a doggie bag” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.A bag for carrying things. B.A box for takeaway food.
C.A bag for carrying dog food. D.A container for leftovers.
4.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Changing the environment or eating habits will help you eat less.
B.Eating fruit and vegetables is better for your health.
C.Keeping your kitchen counter clear of any food will help make you thin.
D.Many people eat or drink too much without paying attention to it.
V.七选五
Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 1 But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn't difficult. 2 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
3 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh. 4 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh fish.
There are many common methods used to cook a fish. 5 First, clean it and season it with the spices(调料) of your choice. Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound (A larger one will take more time.). Then, it's ready to serve.
A.Do not buy it.
B.The easiest is to steam it.
C.This is how you can do it.
D.It just requires a little knowledge.
E.The fish will go bad within hours.
F.When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G.The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

享受跨国美食的孩子
我在英国长大,我爸爸是英国人,妈妈是中国人。从能拿刀叉——还有筷子——开始,我就一直享受这两国的食物!
妈妈对四川家乡的食物有着美好的回忆,她经常会做一些辣菜。正因为如此,爸爸已经逐渐爱上了火锅!但是,虽然与妈妈结婚多年,爸爸还是有一些不敢尝试的菜肴。他曾告诉我,第一次去中国拜访我妈妈的父母时,餐桌上摆的东西让他大吃一惊。在婚礼上,他更是吓了一跳,因为他看到差不多动物的所有部位中国人都吃。直到今天,他还是不习惯吃鸡爪之类的东西。
不过我自己很喜欢这类食物。上周,我去肉店问:“你们这里有猪耳朵吗?”“没有,”肉店老板拽了拽自己的耳朵说,“只有这种普通的耳朵。”他肯定觉得我是在开玩笑。
爸爸会做美味的“全套英式早餐”,有培根、鸡蛋、豆子、香肠和黄油吐司——不过我和妈妈得想办法让他进厨房!他还会做传统的星期天烤肉大餐。我们都喜欢烤牛肉和蔬菜,但妈妈说最好不要吃太多烧烤食物,因为根据传统中医的说法,这会引起上火。
我永远不会忘记自己的第一次中国之旅。妈妈鼓励我尝试各种食物,我照做了!我什么都喜欢吃。可是就在我以为自己能够接受所有的中国食物时,我遇到了臭豆腐,一种可怕的灰色食物,样子和味道就像是烧焦的运动鞋。“如果你不想尝试的话,可以不吃,” 妈妈说。但我还是鼓起勇气咬了一口,结果惊奇地发现味道还不错。它的味道让我想起了蓝纹奶酪,一种类似的有着浓重气味的食物,你要么你爱上它,要么会恨死它。也许我会爱上臭豆腐的——将来总有那么一天吧。
人们常说,一个人的佳肴是另一个人的毒药(萝卜青菜各有所好),但中英两种文化中的食物我都喜欢。对我来说,用英国饼干搭配一杯盛在细瓷杯中的中国乌龙茶——没有什么比这样一次跨文化的下午茶更好的了!
