Unit 2 Poems一、閱讀理解。Restaurant chefs, home cooks, and foodies people who love good food often say that we eat with all of our senses. First, we use our sense of sight to appreciate how a meal is presented, either on a dinner plate or a dining table. Our sense of touch can also be important when preparing or sharing food. Next, with our sense of smell, we breathe in the mouth-watering aromas (香味) rising up from the meal. Finally, we enjoy the food with our sense of taste. But what about our sense of hearing? Does sound also affect our dining experience? A new report answers, “yes, it does. ”That answer es from researchers at Brigham Young University in the United States. They found that hearing is important in the eating experience. Hearing is often called “the forgotten food sense, ” says Ryan Elder, “if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less. ”O(jiān)n the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating. The researchers admit that the effects may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month, or a year, all that food can really add up. But besides not overeating, there is another upside. Hearing the noises of your meal as you eat, could help you to be more mindful of the experience and perhaps help you to enjoy it more. 【文章大意】 本文告訴人們享用食物時, 會用到五種感覺: 視覺、觸覺、聽覺、嗅覺和味覺; 并著重說明了聽覺對人們進(jìn)食量的影響。1.
