2．Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings（81）instead of satisfying hunger．Believe it or not，we've all been there．Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing（82）for a big test？But when done a lot-especially （83）without/before realizing it-emotional eating can affect weight，health，and overall well-being．Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people（84）take steps to change it．One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by （85）negative feelings．Yes，people often turn to food when they're stressed out，lonely，sad，anxious，or bored．But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too，like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast．Sometimes emotional eating is tied （86）to major life events，like a death or a divorce．More often，though，it's the countless little daily stresses （87）thatcause someone（88）to seek（seek） comfort in food．
We're all emotional eaters to a degree．But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem，（89）causing （cause） serious weight gain or other problems．The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone，the feelings that cause it remain．And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like．That's（90）why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger．
Next time you reach for a snack，wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it．
分析 本文作者主要介绍了什么是情绪化进食，并分析了引起情绪化进食的原因及其造成的危害；最后作者指出：为了保持身体健康，在我们选择零食时，应该先考虑一下我们是属于哪种类型的饥饿（是生理饥饿还是情感饥饿）．
解答 答案：
81．instead 考查句意理解以及固定短语 本句的意思是：情绪化进食是指人们将食物作为一种方法来处理情感问题，而不是为了满足饥饿；instead of （用…）代替…，（是…）而不是…；故用instead．
82．for 考查固定短语 prepare for意为：为…做准备；故用for．
83．without/before 考查句意理解以及介词/连词 本句的意思是：但是当做了很多这样的事情后，仍没有（或者是才）意识到它---情绪化进食，能够影响体重，健康和整体幸福感；连词before"多久以后才…"；介词without"没有"；故用without/before．
84．take 考查固定短语 take steps to意为：采取行动做； 由于此处用在了help…do的结构中，故用take．
85．negative 考查句意理解以及形容词 根据下一句答语"Yes，people often turn to food when they're stressed out，lonely，sad，anxious，or bored"提到的是一些负面情绪可知，这里指的应是：关于情绪化进食最大的误区之一就是它是由一些负面情绪引起的；由于此处用来修饰名词feelings，故用形容词negative．
86．to 考查固定短语 be tied to意为：束缚于，捆绑于；与…相关联；此处指的是：有时情绪化饮食与重大生活事件相关联；故用to．
87．that 考查强调句 本句符合强调句"It+be+强调部分+that （who）+从句"的结构；它强调了句子的主语"the countless little daily stresses"（指的是无数琐碎的日常压力，并非指人）；故用连词that．
88．to seek 考查固定短语 cause sb．to do sth．意为：使某人做某事，导致某人做某事；故用to seek．
89．causing 考查现在分词 此处在句中作结果状语，由于动词cause与其逻辑主语 emotional eating 构成的是主谓关系，故用现在分词causing．
90．why 考查句意理解以及从属连词 本句的意思是：这就是为什么它有助于了解生理饥饿和情感饥饿之间区别的原因；故用why．
