     Kids won't eat their vegetables? Name them again, scientists say. In a new study, 186 four-year-old
children were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the same vegetables which
were renamed X-ray Vision Carrots.
     The study suggests kids like vegetables with cool names better and the influence of these names might
continue to exist. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they
were no longer called cool names.
     The research, which was funded (資助) by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was put up at the
yearly meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington DC.
     "Cool names can make for cool foods," says Brian Wansink of Cornell University. "Whether it is '
power peas' or 'dinosaur broccoli trees,' giving the food a fun name gets kids to think that it will be more
fun to eat. And it seems to keep working-even on the next day," Wansink said.
     Similar results have been found with adults. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Filet was changed to Succulent Italian Seafood Filet, sales increased by 28 percent and the taste rating (評(píng)級(jí))
increased by 12 percent. "The same food, but different expectations, and different experience," said
Wansink, the author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.
     The study was done in pre-schools (幼兒園), but the researchers believe the same tricks can work
with children                .
     "I've been using this with my kids at home," said a researcher Collin Payne. "Whatever inspires their
imagination seems to inspire their appetite (胃口)."

　　Making an advertisement for television ________．For example, a two-hour movie costs ＄6 million to make．A TV commercial can cost more than ＄6000 a second．And that does not include cost of paying for air time．Which is more valuable, the program or the ad?In terms of money－and making money is what television is all about－the commercial is by far the more important．

　　Research, market testing, talent, time and money－all come together to make us want to buy a product．No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works．The sales of Charm went up once the ads began．TV commercials actually buy their way into our head．We, in turn, buy the product．

　　And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them．Here are some rules of commercial ad making．If you want to get the low middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice．Put some people in the ad who work with their hands．If you want to sell to upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hairstyle are the types that the group identifies(認(rèn)同)with．If you want the buyer feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself．

　　We laugh at commercials．We don’t think we pay that much attention to them．But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves．The making of a commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff．It’s big, big business．And it’s telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy．

　　To put simply, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing．

VI.閱讀表達(dá)(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)

閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題.

閱讀下面的短文，請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文后的要求答題（請(qǐng)注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）

There’s a lot of discussion these days about fit kids. Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activity (exercise), and has a healthy weight. If you’re fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do.

Here are four rules to live by, if you’re a kid who wants to be fit.

1. Eat a variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables.

You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. If you eat different foods, you’re more likely to get the nutrients your body needs. Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while.

2. Drink water and milk most often.

When you’re really thirsty, cold water is the No. 1 thirst-quencher. And there’s a reason your school cafeteria offers cartons of milk. Kids need calcium to grow strong bones, and milk is a great source of this mineral.

3. Listen to your body.

What does it feel like to be full? When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don’t notice when they need to stop eating. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable, and over a period of time, it can lead to ___________________.

4. Be active.

One job you have as a kid-and it’s a fun one-is that you get to figure out which activities you like best. Not everyone loves baseball or soccer. Maybe your passion is karate, or kickball, or dancing. Ask your parents to help you do your favorite activities regularly. Find ways to be active every day.
