21、   For decades, television networks have produced no shortage of entertaining shows featuring food. The success of these shows is a clear indication of the strong appeal of the cookery experience to people. Whether it’s recipe instructions, review of a restaurant or coverage (专访) of a chef, people are hungry to find out more about the food they eat.

One of the latest entries among the food programs is the Emmy-nominated Award Netflix series, Chef’s Table, which features more than just ways to prepare fine food. Viewers tune in to each episode (一集) to hear a personal story from a distinguished chef. Each chef’s tale is heart-touching with their own unique life experience. Take American chef Grant Achatz for example. The journey to operating one of the highest ranked restaurants in North America took a very personal turn. In 2007, Achatz was diagnosed with mouth cancer and lost his sense of taste. Amazingly, he regained it, and has gone on to pioneer a new “progressive American” style of cooking.

Each chef has his own fascinating story, and the series highlights an important common thread among them: culture. Because food is so connected with the culture it comes from, each chef represents whatever traditions and cooking techniques they’ve come out of. They combine their culture’s traditional cooking with new tastes. In fact, many chefs work tirelessly at redefining an entire culture’s expectation for eating.

Despite having a number of unconventional elements associated with their cooking, one thing is clear: Cooking is an incredibly meaningful experience for each chef. One guest described his time at one chef’s restaurant by saying “Eating there is like looking at someone who has put his soul into the food”.

23、   Everybody knows that Coca-Cola is red, and Starbucks is green. 【1】 What we may not be aware of is the science behind these companies’ choices of these colors.

Color psychology is the study of how colors affect people’s mood, behavior, and decision-making. Companies use color psychology when they develop their brands and advertisements in order to persuade us to buy.【2】

【3】 For example, it’s no accident that many tech products use white; it’s simple, stylish, and clean. Meanwhile, cosmetics companies tend to go for purple, black, or pink colors that represent passion, luxury, and romance.

Companies often choose action colors that urge you to buy right now. Red, for instance, is a high-energy, exciting color that moves people to action. Yellow is the color of summer, and it’s bright and attention-grabbing.【4】

【5】 Studies show that consumers prefer brands that they recognize. Thus, those with an established color scheme, such as LEGO or Facebook, are likely to perform more strongly on the market.

All this goes to show that successful companies have mastered the art of color psychology. It may seem trivial, but their choice of colors has a profound effect on the spending habits of consumers.

A .Based on this, companies create fancy names for colors to make them sound special.

B. In fact, studies have shown that around 90 percent of people base their spending choices on color and appearance.

C. It’s no wonder that McDonald’s decided to use these two colors for its branding.

D. Chances are that most of us can name companies and their respective brand colors.

E. In fact, most major companies are associated with certain specific colors.

F. Because of this, companies use colors to influence how we feel about their products.

G. This is why, for example, Estée Lauder uses names like “passion fruit” and “hot rocket” for its lipsticks.
