When you see your favorite food on a red plat...

When you see your favorite food on a red plate, you probably feel hungry. But you feel hunger when it is on a white plate. Can you guess why this happens? According to a recent research, colors have great influences on our eating.

Firstly, colors can really influence our feelings about food. For example, when you add some red to water, it tastes sweeter than normal water, as if you’ve added some sugar into it. The red color makes you feel that the water is very nice to drink.

However, the food that you think the most delicious will probably taste worse to you if you change its color to blue. This is because blue is not a very natural color for food and it always makes people feel sad.

Besides, colors can also influence how much we eat. In one research, people were asked to serve themselves some pasta (意式面食) with white gravy. The people with red plates ate a smaller part. For example, there is a big cake in the red plate, maybe you feel full after eating only a piece of it. However, the people with white plates ate much more.

1.People will feel hungrier when food is on a ________ plate.

A.red B.blue C.white D.yellow

2.According to the passage, red drinks may make people ________.

A.drink more B.refuse it C.drink less D.feel scary

3.If you change the color of the food to blue, the food will probably ________.

A.make people feel happier B.taste worse

C.make people feel hungrier D.taste sweeter

4.What’s the best title of this passage?

A.Red and Water B.Blue and Food C.Sugar and Food D.Color and Eating

When you look at your food, some ingredients are easy to see. For example, there is cheese on your pizza and butter on your bread. But our meals are also filled with ingredients you can’t see. And you might be surprised to learn just how much those hidden (隐藏的) ingredients affect your health.

Salt is a perfect example of an ingredient that you might not notice, even when you eat a lot of it. More than 75% of the salt we eat is hidden in restaurant meals, fast food and processed (加工过的) food , such as French fries, hot dogs and even biscuits.

Salt is important to us. It keeps our muscles (肌肉）working and our nerves (神经）sending  messages through the whole body. Salt can be used to clean teeth, to make our skin smooth or added to a relaxing bath. Salt is also used to help make food last (持续) longer.

However eating too much salt can cause heart problems. For a long time, heart trouble has been regarded as an adult problem, but new research shows that salt is starting to affect kids. Then how much salt is safe for kids every day? Let's look at the following chart:

Kids should not eat more than that.

3.Which of the following is Not the use of salt according to the passage?

4. If Tim is 10 years old, how much salt should he eat every day?
