Are you on a diet? Then maybe you should consider     1    (sit) by the window the next time you eat out.

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.

3 . I still remember my first time going to the canteen.     1     because when I stepped onto the elevators, each one was full to the brim. However, people were laughing and talking. I followed the flow of the crowd to the doors of the canteen. Then I realized there was no emergency; It was just lunchtime. I found out very quickly that in China everyone takes lunch at the same time. Even the cafeteria followed this schedule,     2    .

When I stood in the doorway, I realized I had to act fast or I would be left behind.     3     Everyone lines up and takes a tray but instead of silverware, there are chopsticks and soup spoons.

As I was pushed along the line, I saw dishes I didn’t recognize and as people cut in line and picked up dishes left and right.     4     I ended up going with a pork and cucumber dish and a tofu salad.

I have been at my company for over a year and a half. I     5     I have learned what dishes I like, mostly by trial and error, and a lot of the workers know me and say hello.

I am still getting used to eating lunch at “lunch time”, but I think the schedule definitely helps keep me on track during the day. I wish there was something like this at offices in my hometown.

A．I was not very familiar with the local food or restaurants in China.

B．only being open a few hours per day.

C．I noticed things at lunchtime were a bit different.

D．I felt that I needed to make some quick decisions.

E．The canteen reminded me of my school lunch room.

F．And now I am glad to say I am more confident in the canteen.

G．I thought I had missed a fire drill or an emergency evacuation.

4 . Almost anywhere you go in the United States, you're bound to find a fast-food joint to serve you quick and tasty food. Datassential, a consumer research brand, conducted a survey and reported on the percentage of customers who said their last visit to one of these fast food joints.

Sbarro

5 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

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.

6 . Instagram is containing so many photos of food — now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.

I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. 'The Picture House' is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction to photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.

The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's 'Food for Life' campaign(活动), a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. "Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special," said marketing director Margaret Jobling.

The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.

A．a restaurant free of charge	B．a new marketing project
