According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and
consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to
existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions
(份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two
experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to
ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each
woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food
first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially
designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants
followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly
more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls.
In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants
followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making
decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I'll have what she's
having” effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large
portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats alot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?
1.What is the recent study mainly about?
A.Food safety. B.Movie viewership.
C.Consumer demand. D.Eating behavior.
2.What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Big eaters. B.Overweight persons.
C.Picky eaters. D.Tall thin persons.
3.Why did the researchers hire the actor?
A.To see how she would affect the participants.
B.To test if the participants could recognize her.
C.To find out what she would do in the two tests.
D. To study why she could keep her weight down.
4.On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph?
A.How hungry we are.
B.How slim we want to be.
C.How we perceive others.
D.How we feel about the food.

A waste management system is a collective kind of efforts and has to be supported by the
government and all the people. There are some countries with the most interesting waste sorting
culture.
Germany is the country with the world's number one recycling system. It has a quite detailed
way of sorting their waste—down to the colour of glass waste and the type of paper that could be
put inside the paper waste bin. Items like used batteries, electronics, unused paints and appliances
must be returned to special locations to be recycled. Other items such as clothes, shoes and
furniture are advised to be sold or donated. There's this thing called deposit in Germany, a certain
part of the price on a bottled drink that you get back if you return the bottle. German law requires
that all shops selling bottled drinks should have such a return point.
South Koreans used to ignore how to sort their waste, but in 1995 their government took a
different path from other countries: they set up a systematic (系统的) and strict waste
management standard to make sure of the development of their future economy. Their government
knows that a good waste management system is moneysaving and environmentcaring. South
Korea succeeded in changing people's behavior and did everything to ensure their waste reduction.
It's never too hard to throw your garbage in Indonesia. What Indonesians commonly do is
putting your trashes in your personal garbage area at the front of your house, right at the side of
the street. And the garbage collectors with their big garbage truck will pick the trashes up. Imaginehow much culture shock an Indonesian would suffer when they live in a country famous for its
complicated waste sorting system such as Japan, South Korea or Germany—a place where public
shaming and fine for a failure in obeying the waste sorting rules is more likely to happen.
5.What do we learn about Germany according to the text?
A.It sorts the waste in a simple way.
B.It has the best wasterecycling system.
C.It pays no attention to sorting the waste.
D.It advises people to donate unused paints.
6.What does the underlined word “deposit” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Fund donated by the public.
B.Drinks forbidden by laws.
C.Money returned to customers.
D.Places set up for recycling.
7.Which country needs to improve its waste management system according to the text?
A.Indonesia. B.Japan.
C.South Korea. D.Germany.
8.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To inform a way of recycling.
B.To compare different cultures.
C.To advertise a sorting company.
D.To introduce waste management systems.
