Unit 2　Healthy eating Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2017·湖北七市高三联合考试) Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat. Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things. How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat. People eating alone eat least. People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home. People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more. Eating with overweight friends? Youll eat more. Is your waitress overweight? youll eat more. A wide variety of food? Youll eat more. Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes. If people ate it off a paper plate, theyd say, “This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say, “This is the greatest cake Ive eaten in my entire life.” Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat. You tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad. So Grandmas cookies always taste better than other cookies. “Good food” even has a “health halo (光环) effect”. If were eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy. Due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories (卡路里) than the cheese cake alone. Thats perhaps also why eating organic (有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy. Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behaviour. Food and hunger affect your judgment too. Hungry judges give more serious sentences. Kids who dont eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast. People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions. 【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了哪些因素会导致人们吃的更多。 1．What is mentioned as a cause of overeating?
