According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research，both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake．And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions （份），it's the beanpoleswith big appetites you really need to avoid．

To test the effect of social influence on eating habits，the researchers conducted two experiments．In the first，95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly （表面上）participate in a study about movie viewership．Before the film began，each woman was asked to help herself to a snack．An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first．In her natural state， the actor weighed 105 pounds． But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds．

Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food．The participants followed suit，taking more food than they normally would have．However，they took significantly more when the actor was thin．

For the second test，in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls．In the other case，she took 30 pieces．The results were similar to the first test：the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces．

The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions．If this fellow participant is going to eat more，so will I．Call it the "I'll have what she's having" effect．However，we'll adjust the influence．If an overweight person is having a large portion，I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits．But if a thin person eats a lot，I'll follow suit．If he can eat much and keep slim，why can't I？

（1）What is the recent study mainly about？　　

A．	Food safety．
B．	Movie viewership．
C．	Consumer demand．
D．	Eating behavior．

（2）What does the underlined word "beanpoles" in paragraph 1 refer to？　　

A．	Big eaters．
B．	Overweight persons．
C．	Picky eaters．
D．	Tall thin persons．

（3）Why did the researchers hire the actor？　　

A．	To see how she would affect the participants．
B．	To test if the participants could recognize her．
C．	To find out what she would do in the two tests．
D．	To study why she could keep her weight down．

（4）On what basis do we "adjust the influence" according to the last paragraph？　　

A．	How hungry we are．
B．	How slim we want to be．
C．	How we perceive others．
D．	How we feel about the food．

In the mid﹣1990s，Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan．He left after seven months，physically broken and having lost his mind．A few years later，still attracted to the country，he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea．

His visit，however，ended up involving a lot more than that．Hence this book，Chasing the Sea：Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia， which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan，where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea．It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land，and of the people he meets on his way：Rustam，his translator，a lovely 24﹣year﹣old who picked up his colorful English in California，Oleg and Natasha，his hosts in Tashkent，and a string of foreign aid workers．

This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan，made of friendliness and warmth，but also its darker side of society．In Samarkand，Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders，while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing．In Ferghana，he attends a mountain funeral（葬礼）followed by a strange drinking party．And in Karakalpakstan，he is saddened by the dust storms，diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea．

Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references，making his tale a well﹣rounded picture of Uzbekistan，seen from Western eyes．His judgment and references are decidedly American，as well as his delicate stomach．As the author explains，this is neither a travel nor a history book，or even a piece of reportage．Whatever it is，the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions．

（1）What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan？　　

A．	His friends' invitation．
B．	His interest in the country．
C．	His love for teaching．
D．	His desire to regain health．

（2）What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 2 refer to？　　

A．	Developing a serious mental disease．
B．	Taking a guided tour in Central Asia．
C．	Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan．
D．	Writing an article about the Aral Sea．

（3）Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell's road trip in Uzbekistan？　　

A．	Romantic．
B．	Eventful．
C．	Pleasant．
D．	Dangerous．

（4）What is the purpose of this text？　　

A．	To introduce a book．
B．	To explain a cultural phenomenon．
C．	To remember a writer．
D．	To recommend a travel destination．

We are the products of evolution，and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago．As scientists look deeper into our genes（基因），they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years． People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes． Cattle﹣raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation （突变）that helps them digest milk as adults．

On Thursday in an article published in Cell，a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation ﹣ not to air or to food，but to the ocean．A group of sea﹣dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers．The Bajau，as these people are known，number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia，Malaysia and the Philippines．They have traditionally lived on houseboats；in recent times，they've also built houses on stilts（支柱）in coastal waters．"They are simply a stranger to the land，" said Rodney C．Jubilado，a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau．

Dr．Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines．They made a living as divers，spearfishing or harvesting shellfish． "We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders，" Dr．Jubilado said．"I could see them actually walking under the sea．"

In 2015，Melissa Ilardo，then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen，heard about the Bajau．She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them．"It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population，" said Dr．Ilardo．She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive．

（1）What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1？　　

A．	Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers．
B．	New knowledge of human evolution．
C．	Recent findings of human origin．
D．	Significance of food selection．

（2）Where do the Bajau build their houses？　　

A．	In valleys．
B．	Near rivers．
C．	On the beach．
D．	Off the coast．

（3）Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau？　　

A．	They could walk on stilts all day．
B．	They had a superb way of fishing．
C．	They could stay long underwater．
D．	They lived on both land and water．

（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？　　

A．	Bodies Remodeled for a Life at Sea
B．	Highlanders' Survival Skills
C．	Basic Methods of Genetic Research
D．	The World's Best Divers
