To advertise the benefits of the coloring books.CWhileshopping for my groceriesa few years ago, I decided on an idea to buy one of those little potted basil plants instead of the package of basil leaves. It was about t
29、he same price and I figured I would plant it in my yard and maybe get a few meals worth out of it before it died.Little did I know that the little $4 basil plant would survive for almost 3 years and provide enough fresh basil for at least 2-3 meals per month (thats about 60 basil-filled meals)!What
30、I learned was that the plant likes quite a bit of sun and warm temperatures (it went nearly into rest in the winter when temperatures in Arizona drop to below zero overnight). My husband and I had enjoyed so many meals with fresh basil that after the original one died, we immediately got another bas
31、il plant to replace it.If you like to cook, you know that basil fresh off the plant transforms a good meal into an amazing one.To make the case for always keeping a basil plant in our yard even stronger, I just opened the latest issue ofAll Youmagazineand saw this picture of a beautiful basil plant.
32、 Then I read the first sentence of theaccompanying article, “Did you know a basil plant can produce nearly $80 worth of leaves each year?”I knew that I had gotten my moneys worth from the little plant, but I had no idea that I saved about $200 in the time I had that plant. $4 to produce $200? Thats

36、at, a new study has found. The results suggest that people are likely to consume less if they can hear themselves eating.Researchers at Brigham Young University and Colorado State University have found that your TV, radio, and computer are making you fat. Not by bombarding（炮轰） you with food ads (tho
37、ugh they totally are) but by blocking the sounds of your chewing. In a recent study, they found that the noise your food makes while youre eating can have a significant effect on how much food you eat. “Sound is typically labeled as the forgotten food sense,” adds Ryan Elder, assistant professor of
38、marketing at BYUs Marriott School of Management. “But if people are more focused on the sound the food makes, it could reduce consumption.” “For the most part, consumers and researchers have overlooked food sound as an important sensory cue(暗示) in the eating experience.” said study coauthor Gina Moh
39、r, an assistant professor of marketing at CSU.The team carried out three separate experiments to quantify the effects of “food sound salience” on quantity of food consumed during a meal. In one experiment, participants were given snacks to eat while they wore headphones playing either loud or quiet
40、noises. The ones loud enough to mask the sound of chewing made subjects eat more 4 pretzels（椒盐卷饼） compared to 2.75 pretzels for the “quiet” group. In another of their experiments they found that just having people hear chewing sounds through an advertisement can decrease the amount they eat.Elder an
41、d Morh call this the “Crunch Effect.” The main takeaway of their work should be the idea of mindfulness, they said. Being more mindful of not just the taste and physical appearance of food, but also of the sound it makes can help consumers to eat less.“When you mask the sound of consumption, like wh
42、en you watch TV while eating, you take away one of those senses and it may cause you to eat more than you would normally,” Elder said.“The effects may not seem huge one less pretzel but over the course of a week, month, or year, it could really add up.” So next time you sit down for a meal, take you
43、r headphones off and mute the TV or find a movie where theres a lot of very audible chewing.32. When people hear themselves eating, they can _.A. be likely to eat lessB. be happy to take in foodC. enjoy the sound of itD. consume more food33. We can conclude from Paragraph 2 that _.A. your TV, radio,
44、 and computer are making you fat by giving you food ads.B. what you eat can have a slight effect on how much food you eat.C. if people are less focused on the sound the food makes, it could reduce consumption.D. researchers should treat food sound as an important sensory cue in the eating experience
45、34. What can we know from the experiments?A. Participants were given snacks to eat while they wore headphones playing the same noises.B. An advertisement can decrease the amount they eat without having people hear chewing sounds. C. The team carried out two separate experiments to quantify the effec
46、ts of “food sound salience”. D. Over many days, the effects of losing weight can add up although it may not seem huge now.35. Where can we most probably find this passage?A. An advertisement. B. A science magazine. C. A notice board. D. A medical journal.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处
