Food is life; it gives us the nourishment (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) we need to stay alive and be healthy．Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy．Brain Wansink, a professor at the University of Illinois, says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories．Wansink calls this kind of food comfort (安慰) food．For some people, ice cream is a comfort food．For others, a bowl of noodles makes them feel good．

How does a food become comfort food? Professor Wansink believes that we connect (聯(lián)系) food with important times, feelings and people in our lives, “When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup．I love it．Now, I often eat this soup when I am tired or worried, and it helps me feel better,” says one of  Wansink’s friends．

Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink’s research at the University of Illinois says “yes”．In his study, the favorite comfort food for both men, and women was ice cream．After this, men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles．Women liked sweet things such as chocolate and candy．Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad and worried．

A．fast food           B．healthy food          C．Chinese food        D．comfort food

2．In Wansink’s study, both men and women like to eat
