13、onsumed. Even simple visual clues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, peoples hunger levels were predicted not by how much theyd eaten but

14、rather by how much food theyd seen in front of them-in other words, how much they remembered eating.This disparity （新 I日研究的差异）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental

15、psychology at the University of Bristol.Hunger isnt controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal, Brunstrom says. nThis shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thou

16、ght.1These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our bodys response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙

17、），depending on whether the shakes label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought theyd consumed a higher-calorie shake.What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating le

18、ss, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.1、What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake?A.

Food labels may influence our bodys response to food.C. Hunger levels depend on ones consumption of calories.D. People tend to take in

21、 a lot more calories than necessary.4、What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite?A. Trick ourselves into eating less.B. Choose food with fewer calories.C.

23、nut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows milk fbr health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly

25、annoyed with the lack of cows milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurre

26、d into taking action after being forced to eat some really bad“ dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolat

27、ing cow DNA then inserting it into yeast （酵母）.This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthie

28、r, has a longer shelf life and, most important of friendly.
