When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

参考译文

减小盘子的尺寸。上菜用的碗碟若很大就很容易使我们肥胖。与使用10英寸的碟子相比，在使用12英寸的碟子时，我们的用餐量会增加22%左右。当我们选择大勺而非小勺时，整个摄入了会飙升14%。另外，与选择使用瓶身高但细的玻璃杯相比，使用宽但矮的玻璃杯时，我们灌下去的液体会多出约30%。

What can be a suitable title for the test?

A. Is Your House Making You Fat?

B. Ways of Serving Dinner

C. Effects of Self-Consciousness

D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

【1】Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.

【2】Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage over eating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places－and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

【3】Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

【4】Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

【5】Downsize the dishes, big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

答案：A
