A spoon of pickles(榨菜) can sometimes make a meal taste way better. Recently, a new type of pickle is being discussed: “digital pickled vegetables”. It stands for the videos people watch while eating that make their food more delicious.
① The topic received more than 16 million clicks on Sina Weibo and about 100,000 people joined in the discussion. Instead of having a good time with friends and family during a meal, many young people in China keep their eyes on TV shows or short videos. Many believe that their food is tastier with the “digital pickles”.
② Can this habit influence your diet? According to a research paper published in 2019, you may eat more without noticing it. The international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating habits on four different days. The habits included eating while looking at the mobile phone, reading magazines and without distraction(使人分心的事). After studying their diets, the team discovered that eating with a distraction increased caloric intake by about 15 per cent.
③ To find out the reason, the team invited two groups of people: one group ate while listening to sounds about another person eating and the other listened to sounds that helped them imagine themselves eating. The results showed that the second group ate less since they paid more attention to their meals. When eating with the “digital pickles”, our attention can be distracted, which leads to eating more than expected.
④ A research project led by the University of Sussex, the UK, pointed out that activities which need lots of attention trick many people into overeating. The team invited 120 people to do different tasks while providing them with drinks and snacks. “Our study shows that if you’re eating or drinking while your attention is distracted by a difficult task, it is less possible for you to tell how full you feel,” one of the researchers Martin Yeomans explained.

一勺榨菜有时能让一顿饭的味道好很多。最近，一种新型“榨菜”正在被讨论：“电子榨菜”。它指的是人们吃饭时看的那些能让食物变得更美味的视频。
①这个话题在新浪微博上获得了超过1600万的点击量，约有10万人参与了讨论。在中国，许多年轻人吃饭时不再和朋友、家人愉快地相聚，而是盯着电视节目或短视频。很多人认为，有了“电子榨菜”，他们的食物吃起来更美味了。
②这种习惯会影响你的饮食吗？根据2019年发表的一篇研究论文，你可能会在不知不觉中吃得更多。这个国际研究团队让62名志愿者在四天里遵循不同的饮食习惯。这些习惯包括边看手机边吃饭、边看杂志边吃饭以及不受干扰地吃饭。在研究了他们的饮食情况后，研究团队发现，分心进食会使热量摄入增加约15%。
③为了找出原因，研究团队邀请了两组人：一组人在听别人进食的声音时吃饭，另一组人则听能帮助他们想象自己在进食的声音。结果显示，第二组人吃得更少，因为他们更关注自己的饭菜。当我们用“电子榨菜”下饭时，我们的注意力会被分散，这就会导致我们吃得比预期的多。
④英国萨塞克斯大学领导的一个研究项目指出，需要大量注意力的活动会诱使很多人暴饮暴食。研究团队邀请了120人在做不同任务的同时提供饮料和零食。“我们的研究表明，如果你在进食或饮水时注意力被一项困难的任务分散，你就不太可能察觉到自己有多饱。”研究人员之一马丁·约曼斯解释道。
(8)8. 以下哪一项是“电子榨菜”？
A. 饮料。
B. 零食。
C. 视频。
D. 任务。
(9)9. 从第三段我们可以知道什么？
A. 用“电子榨菜”下饭可能会让人变胖。
B. 吃饭时看杂志是一种良好的饮食习惯。
C. 不同的饮食习惯对人们的饮食影响不大。
D. 研究团队将志愿者分成了四组。
(10)10. 句子“这不仅适用于吃饭，也适用于其他困难的任务。”可以放在哪里？
A. ①
B. ②
C. ③
D. ④
(11)11. 这篇文章的最佳标题是什么？
A. 吃饭时完成任务。
B. 想象自己在吃饭。
C. 少吃多运动。
D. 边看节目边享受晚餐。
