21、We’ve all heard that the first bite is taken with the eye, but the link between our visual sense and our flavor perception(感受)may be stronger than you think.
Charles Spence, the Oxford experimental psychologist, places vision right up there with smell, in flavor’s “premier league”, if you will. Taste sits far below with sound and texture and touch. “ Half the brain is visual in some sense,” says Spence, “versus (相比之下)just a few percent for overall taste senses,” 【1】
One popular theory is that we have an inherent aversion(与生俱来的厌恶)to blue food because it appears so rarely in nature. 【2】. But is this an innate preference? Probably not, thinks Chris Lukehhurst, head of research at the Marketing Clinic.
【3】 He adds, “it is directly related to experience, expectations, associations, cultural norms and fashions.” Think about green food and you might picture fresh, nutritious vegetables like cucumber. However, “if I talk to you about green meat,” he says, “your stomach probably turns.”
Besides, various colors make you greedy, too. Using multiple colors in sweet such as M&Ms is a strategy to get you to eat lots of them. People will wolf down more from a mixed bowl than they will from a bowl full of their favorite color alone. And a recent study from Cornell University has proved it. 【4】. On the contrary, if there is a contrast in color, it may have the opposite effect.
A.How color affects appetite doesn’t stay the same.
B.What plays a major part in the preference of a certain food is taste.
C.You are likely to eat more, too, if your food color matches the plate.
D.People turn to green food such as fruits and vegetables for various vitamins.
E.Another one is that we’re attracted to red food because it signals ripeness and calories.
F.This is in part why the color of our food and drink can not only determine whether it is appetizing, but its flavor, too.

26、Years ago it was very difficult to travel from one place to another. The journeys were often long, tiring and dangerous. Today the picture has changed. Science has improved transportation and communication facilities a great deal. Traveling has become safer, more enjoyable and above all, more economical.
Traveling—whether within one’s country or abroad—brings many invaluable benefits. People travel for pleasure, business or for education and knowledge. In the world of yesterday most people were only able to read about strange and fascinating places across the mountains and seas. Later, with the coming of the cinema and television, man’s curiosity about faraway places with strange sounding names was further stirred up. Today man’s curiosity can be satisfied in luxurious comfort. There are first-class ships and airplanes to take him where his dreams lie.
We travel to increase our knowledge of the world in which we live. Knowledge obtained from books alone is not enough. New knowledge of different land and peoples enriches our mind and soul. Books generally do not give us a very true picture of lands beyond our shores. Some of them are even misleading.
