A new book claims that     2     you sit in a restaurant can affect how much you consume.

A new research found that people sitting farthest from the front door ate the fewest salads and were 73 percent     3    (likely) to order dessert.

Those seated at a dark table ate heavier food and ordered more of it     4     diners seated at bright bar tables ordered more salads and fewer desserts.

According to the researchers, the darker it is, the more invisible you     5     feel, the less easy it is to see how much you’re eating and the less guilty you are when you eat more.

In contrast,     6    (see) the sunlight, people or trees outside might make you more conscious of     7     you look, might make you think about walking or might make you   want a green salad.

The researchers also noted that slim diners chewed around 15 times per mouthful, three chews more than heavier diners. By eating more slowly, the diner consumes less in the time    8     takes for the brain to register satisfaction.

Recently I dined at a “dark restaurant”,     1     people eat in complete darkness,     2     (serve) by blind staff. I wanted to understand the experience of being blind, and I thought     3     (eat) would be the most difficult activity.

It was a difficult meal. Because we couldn’t see where anything was, my friend and I knocked over glasses and     4     (drop) food. My senses of taste and smell became more sensitive, and I ate much more     5     (slow). Pouring water was very difficult, plus I kept drinking from my friend’s glass.

After     6     (fail) to pick up any food with a fork, I decided to use my hands. I reached down,     7     (expect) rice and vegetables, but instead I stuck my hand into a bowl of warm, thick soup. “It’s best to use a spoon for this course,” the waiter said into my ear, helpfully but much too late. Even using a spoon, most of the soup ended up on my shirt. I felt     8     (embarrass), even though no one could see me.

Our waiter advised us     9     (lift) the plates and bowls close to our faces. However, I still left the restaurant with a sense of     10     (hungry), though I was much more aware of the challenges that blind people face.

A man came to the USA from another country. After     1    (settle) down at an island, he went into a cafeteria to get something     2    (eat).

“Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At     5     other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay. ”

“I was     6    (surprise) how everything worked in the USA,” the man told his friend. “Life’s a cafeteria there. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success,     7     you will never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it     8    (you).”

You can’t change the inevitable. The only thing you can do     9    (be) to control your attitude. Once you reach that point in life,     10    (happy) and satisfaction can’t be too far away.
