After moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.

The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being questioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. Only 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same.

When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, over more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study. Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪).

"People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Cheryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington. "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.

Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem. "In American society today, being American is associated with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.

1.According to the survey, _____.

A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.

B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.

C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situation

D. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.

2.The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_____”

A. food offered as a meal B. a person taking a taxi

C. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do

3.According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.

A. what immigrants have done is ridiculous

B. American traditional foods are healthier

C. immigrants risk their health in order to fit in

D. American culture affects immigrants deeply

4.Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eating habit?

A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional culture

C. The American governmentD. The pressures from society

 

Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries．

In Brazil(巴西）

Brazilians are warm and friendly．They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder．People often greet each other (particularly women)with light cheek kisses . Schedules tend to be flexible，with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned．But to be safe，be on time．Meals can stretch for hours--there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil．Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon．Brazilians are social，preferring face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls．

In Singapore

Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small，polite bow．Business cards should be offered and received with two hands．Arriving late is considered disrespectful．So be on time．Efficiency(效率)is the goal，so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced．Singaporeans are direct in their discussions，even when the subject is about money．Rank is important and authority is respected．This determines how people interact in meetings．For example，people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank．

In the United Arab Emirates

In the UAE，status（地位） is important，so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles．The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere．So do not pull away from the handshake．Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress．Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部)and down to the knees．People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants．Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided．When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee，you should refuse．It might seem odd，but it is a cultural tradition．Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented．

In Switzerland

The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name．They also are respectful of private lives．You should be careful not to ask about personal topics．Punctuality(守时)is vital，something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time．Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe．They also have clear structure in their companies．Higher-ups make the final decisions，even if others might disagree．Neat，clean dress is expected．The Swiss follow formal table manners．They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table．It is polite to finish the food on your plate．
