　　　 Ficture a piece of cake filled with cream and decorated with fruit and nuts. Hungry?　 36　 as it sounds, showing weight-conscious women pictures of attractive, sweet foods　 37　 their resolution to eat healthily, rather than encouraging them to eat the unhealthy foods.

　　　 Advertisers firmly believe images of tasty foods persuade people to buy the goods　 38　 psychologist Floor Kroese thought that temptation(诱惑) might in fact heighten self-control. To prove this theory, Kroese and her colleagues,　 39　 a memory test, asked fifty-four　 40　 students to look at a picture of either a slice of chocolate cake or a flower. The researchers then questioned the students about their diets and offered them a choice between　 41　 and the oatmeal cookie.

　　　 Women shown the cake picture gave a higher priority to their healthy eating　 42　 than those shown the flower. They were also significantly more likely to pick the oatmeal cookie – which was generally considered as the healthier choice.

　　　 “It seems that seeing a food temptation reminded people of their goals of watching their weight, and thus　 43 　them to act in an appropriate manner,” says Kroese.

　　　 44　 studies suggested that smelling tasty, unhealthy foods made people rate healthy eating as highly important, but this is the first research to look at how seeing unhealthy foods　 45　 snacking behavior.

　　　 Kroese suggests that sticking pictures of tempting foods on the refrigerator door may help bring weight-watching goals to mind. But she　 46　 that the results can only be applied to women wanting to lose weight; it is unclear whether they would be so to the general　 47 　.

　　　 The findings suggest that while very tempting images seem to remind people of their weight-loss goals, weekly attractive images perhaps could then be more dangerous.
