三、完形填空 ( 20*1=20分)
Food tastes better if you have to work hard to get it. It’s even true for healthy foods __36__ in fat and calories. That’s the __37__, done early this month, of two scientists from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, US. They did two experiments __38__ mice.
In the first experiment, the researchers gave the mice __39__ to two sugary snacks. One could be __40__ by pressing a lever (控制杆) once; __41__ only appeared after pressing a __42__ lever 15 times. Later, when both snacks were made freely__43__ to the mice, they showed a clear __44__ for the one that was harder to get.
In the __45__ experiment, the researchers wanted to find out whether the animals’ preference for the harder-to-get food would __46__ if those foods were low-calorie.
They __47__ two different snacks – one that was sweet, and one that was healthy (lower in calories). Some mice got the healthy snack from the easy lever, and some got it from the __48__ lever. When both snacks could be got freely, the mice who worked hard for the healthy snack preferred it __49__ the sweet snack.
“Basically, __50__ we have shown is that if you have to expend more effort to get a certain food, __51__ will you value that food more, but it might __52__ taste better to you,” said Alexander Johnson, one of the researchers.
“At present, we don’t know why effort seems to __53__ the taste of food, but we know it does, and this effect __54__ for at least 24 hours after the act of working hard to get the food.”
The authors believe this principle could be used to __55__ people to like more healthy food over sugary and fatty snacks.
So if you just can’t make that salad seem tasty, maybe you should put the healthy stuff way back in the back of your fridge where it’ll be harder to reach.
