16、9.A。50.B。(51)吃得少，还能让人感到快乐的奥秘或许早在几年前就被麦当劳破解了。根据康奈尔大学食品与品牌实验室的一项最新研究，小份的非食物奖励，例如麦当劳欢乐套餐中的玩具，可以和食物一样刺激大脑中的奖赏中枢。由马丁莱曼领导的研究人员进展了一系列的实验，想要弄清楚人们是否愿意选择配有非食物类小东西的小份食物。(52)他们发现,绝大多数的孩子和成年人都选择带奖品但减半了的食物。而两种选择的价格是相同的。(53)更为有趣的是，一个对未来奖品的承诺足以使成年人选择小份食品。其中可以使用的奖励之一是彩票，奖金10、50 到 100 美金不等。在劝说人们少吃点这一问题上，这和那些实实在在的礼物一样

17、有效。“参与者们愿意用获得相对来说较少金钱奖励的可能性来替换掉一局部食物，这一事实也是非常有趣的，”莱曼说。(54)他认为从理论上来讲，这些无形奖品中的感情成分使得它们起了作用。事实上，描述不清晰的得奖的可能性比那些有着明确的得奖概率的选择更有效果。“这一发现的解释之一就是不确定的奖励要比确定的奖励在情感上更能激起人们的欲望。”莱曼说。“得奖的不确定性通过在情感上让人兴奋从而为人们提供了额外的吸引力和诱惑力。收到奖励的可能性同时带来了一种希望，这种状态本身就能让人获得心理上的回报。”换言之，这就是人们为什么喜欢赌博的原因。如何运用这一知识来帮助人们吃得更安康呢?一种方法就是给人们提供一个可以获得周末温泉疗养时机的安康选择。或者为选择一份减半了的食物设立半份甜点的奖励，该甜点只能在未来的某个日期享用。(55)这样你就又会回到这个餐馆并且这样你又可以少吃一点。51.D52.D53.B54.A55.C
