第四部分 阅读理解 第十一篇 When Our Eyes Serve Our StomachOur senses aren’t just delivering a strict view of what’s going on in the world;they’re affected bywhat’s going on in our heads1. A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words moreclearly than people who’ve just eaten.Psychologists have known for decades that what’s going on inside our head affects oursenses. For example poorer children think coins are larger than they are and hungry peoplethink pictures of food are brighter.Rémi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis2 Francewanted to investigate how this happens.Does it happen right away as the brain receives signalsfrom the eyes or a little later as the brain’s high-1evel thinking processes get involved.Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass index3.On the day of his or her test eachstudent was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then theywere told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes others were given anhour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and theother half had just eaten.For the experiment the participant looked at a computer screen.One by one 80 words flashed onthe screen for about l/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students Acould only consciously perceive. quarter of the words were food-related.After each word eachperson was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they’d seen-afood-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared too briefly for theparticipant to really read it. Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food-related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen this meansthat the difference is in perception5 not in thinking processes Radel says.“This is something great to me.Humans can really’perceive what they need or what they strive for.From the experiment I know that our brain can really be at the disposal of 6 our motives andneeds. ”Radel says.词汇:threshold/‘θrehuld/n 起点 开端;门槛 neutral/nju:tml/adj. 中性的;中立的strive/stralv/v. 努力 力求;斗争disposal/dis’paool/n. 处理 处置;配置 motive/mzotlv/n.动机 目的注释:1.Our senses aren’t just delivering a strict view of…in our heads:这个句子的大概意思是:我们的五官感觉不仅仅让我们感知世界;五官感觉还受大脑活动的影响.2.
