It is said that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but even if you manage to bag a bargain meal, it will not taste as good as a more expensive choice, according to scientists.

A new study has found that restaurant goers who pay more for their meals think the food is tastier than offered for a smaller price. The experts think that people tend to associate cost with quality and this changes their perception(感知) of how food tastes.

Scientists at Cornell University studied the eating habits of 139 people enjoying an Italian buffet in a restaurant. The price of the food was set by the researchers at either $4 or $8 for the all-you-can-eat meal. Customers were asked to rate how good the food tasted, the quality of the restaurant and to leave their names.

The experiment showed that the people who paid $8 enjoyed their meal 11% more than those who ate the “cheaper” buffet. Interestingly those that paid for the $4 buffet said they felt guiltier about loading up their plates and felt that they overate. However, the scientists said that both groups ate around the same quantity of food in total.

Brian Wansink, a professor of consumer behavior at the university, said: “We were fascinated to find that pricing has little effect on how much one eats, but a huge effect on how you interpret the experience.” He thinks that people enjoyed their food more as they associated cost with quality and that small changes to a restaurant can change how tasty people find their meals.

In a previous study, researchers from the university showed that people who eat in bright lighting consume more than people who eat in less brightly lit areas.

During the Winter Olympics in Sochi（索契）, 25,000 volunteers from Russia and other countries provided services for athletes and guests．The student Oksana Verkholyak helped translate Russian into English and Korean at the Games．She told us about their usual day．

“We get up at 7:30 in the morning．Then we have breakfast．Usually we have porridge for breakfast．There is always tea, coffee, bread and pies．After breakfast, we head for a bus stop and get on a bus which runs to the media center．It takes us 30 minutes to get there,” she said.

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and preparing for the worst, Australian adventurer Peter Seiter wrote a farewell note to his family, put it in a bottle and threw it overboard. With a sense of bad feeling he wrote: “The ocean has a personality of its own. The place can be such a peaceful environment to be in, yet it can be frightfully violent. I’ve experienced both.” Fearing he wouldn’t make it home, he placed the note -- dated June 11, 1998 -- in a wine bottle and covered the bottle.

“I included my geographical coordinates, so if anything happened to me, they’d know my last place when I threw the bottle into the ocean,” says Peter, who was then sailing from the Azores in Portugal to New York and knew the Atlantic could be dangerous. He also included some money with his message, asking whoever found it to use the money to post the letter to his family.

Seventeen days later he reached his destination, having survived the dangerous seas, but he assumed his message in the bottle had not -- until it was found on shore, 11 years later!

Recently, American woman Katherine Ginn and her friend came across the bottle on a deserted beach in the Bahamas. “Alongside it they’d found a life jacket and, assuming the worst, opened the bottle and spent 24 hours drying it out so they could read my story and write to my family as I requested,” says Peter, 44. “I couldn’t believe it -- that after all these years my bottle had turned up with its contents, still undamaged.”

Overjoyed, he wrote to the pair, saying he was alive and living in Australia with his family.

Katherine posted him his letter, money and some broken glass of his bottle placed in a tiny box as a special souvenir. These special items now share pride of place among photos of Peter’s Atlantic voyage. “I can’t express what this old letter means to me,” Peter says. “It gives me a sense of hope and belief. It’s something special to share with my children as they grow up.”

1. Why did Peter have the idea of a message bottle?

A. He missed his family very much then.

B. He hoped to share his experience with his family.

C. He regretted taking a risk on the ocean.

D. He thought he might lose his life on the voyage.

2.As for the survival of the message bottle, Peter ________.

A. felt very certain about it

B. thought it had little chance of reaching land

C. took a long time to search for it

D. wrote a letter to Katherine

3.What can be inferred about the message bottle according to Paragraph 3 and 4?

A. Katherine found it by chance on a crowded beach.

B. It was 11 years before they came across it at sea.

C. Perhaps there was water in it when Katherine found it.

D. Peter couldn’t believe more that it was not damaged.

4.From the passage, we can learn that ________.

A. this was Peter’s first voyage in the Atlantic

B. Peter spent eleven days in the Atlantic

C. without the life jacket, the bottle wouldn’t have survived

D. Katherine was a caring and careful person

How to describe the rising philosophy of the day ? I’d say it is data-ism . We now have the ability to gather huge amounts of data . This ability seems to carry with it certain cultural assumptions—that everything that can be measured should be measured ; that data is a transparent and reliable lens that allows us to filter out emotionalism and ideology ; that data will help us do remarkable things—like foretell the future . At the outset let me celebrate two things data does really well .

First , it’s really good at exposing when our intuitive（直觉的）view of reality is wrong . For example , nearly every person who runs for political office has an intuitive sense that they can powerfully influence their odds of winning the election if they can just raise and spend more money . But this is largely wrong .

After the 2006 election , Sean Trende constructed a graph comparing the incumbent（在任的）campaign spending advantages with their eventual victory . There was barely any relationship between more spending and a bigger victory .

Likewise , many teachers have an intuitive sense that different students have different learning styles : some are verbal and some are visual , some focus on details and some on whole . Teachers imagine they will improve outcomes if they tailor their presentations to each student . But there’s no evidence to support this either .

Second , data can clarify patterns of behavior we haven’t yet noticed . For example , I’ve always assumed people who frequently use words like “ I , ” “ me , ” and “ mine ” are probably more self-centered than people who don’t . But as James Pennebaker of the University of Texas notes in his book , The Secret Life of Pronouns , when people are feeling confident , they are focused on the task at hand , not on themselves . High-status , confident people use fewer “ I ” words , not more .

In sum , the data revolution is giving us wonderful ways to understand the present and the past . Will it transform our ability to predict and make decisions about the future ? We’ll see .

1. What do people running for political office think they can do ?

A. Use data analysis to predict the election result .

B. Win the election if they can raise enough funds .

C. Manipulate public opinion with favorable data .

D. Increase the chances of winning by foul means .

2.Why do many teachers favor the idea of tailoring their presentations to different students ?

A. They think students prefer flexible teaching methods .

B. They will be able to try different approaches .

C. They believe students learning styles vary .

D. They can accommodate students with special needs .

3.What does James Pennebaker reveal in The Secret Life of Pronouns ?

A. The importance of using pronouns properly .

B. Repeated use of first-person pronouns by self-centered people .

C. Frequent use of pronouns and future tense by young people .

D. A pattern in confident people’s use of pronouns .

4.Why is the author skeptical of the data revolution ?

A. Data may not be easily accessible .

B. Errors may occur with large data samples .

C. Data cannot always do what we imagine it can .

D. Some data may turn out to be outdated .

They went out to sea the missing treasure.

A．search for B．search C．in search of D．to search
