问题     When it comes to Instagramming(图片分享)your dinner, I say live and let live, you know? Maybe your salad was particularly aesthetically pleasing that night, and I, too, have wiled away many an hour clicking "random" on Smitten Kitchen and salivating(流口水). But I assume if you’re making the effort to arrange your food artfully and preserve its memory in a digital archive, you must... like food. And want it to taste good. A recent study published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology suggests that spending time focusing on images of food makes the food itself less satisfying.
    The researchers hypothesized that imagining enjoying something might lead to satiation—the feeling that makes the second piece of cake taste not-quite-as-good as the first. To test this, they had undergraduates participate in two experiments that they were told were separate—one in which they rated how appetizing different photos of food looked, and one in which they ate some peanuts and rated how much they enjoyed them.
    A separate group of people did the same experiment again, but in the photo-rating portion, some were asked to rate how appetizing the food was or to choose a preference between two foods, and some were asked to rate the brightness of the photo itself.
    The more photos of food people looked at, the less they enjoyed the peanuts—if they were looking at photos of salty food. People who knew every inch of the images of sweets enjoyed the peanuts more, suggesting that imagination causes satiation only if you’re imagining a similar food. In the second experiment, participants who focused on the brightness of the photos were able to enjoy the peanuts more than those who were thinking about the deliciousness of foods while they looked at the images.
    What may be the implications of the study? You’ll probably enjoy your food more if you don’t take a picture of it, or scroll through images of burritos at work and then eat one when you get home. This study may also have potential implications for advertisers, who may unknowingly be giving away satiation for free when they dangle(垂悬)fascinating images of chicken wings or whatever in front of us all day long. But luckily the study provides a loophole for determined Instagrammers: Try not to think about the food’s taste while you take a photo—just focus on your composition.
What does the author imply when he says "live and let live" in the first paragraph?
选项 A、You can love food, but you can’t make your favorite food taste good.
B、Not everyone has an artist’s eye on photos, especially on photos of food.
C、Sharing photos of food on the Internet may distract viewers’ attention from their dinner.
D、People who instagram food, as well as its viewers, may be disappointed with its taste.
答案D
解析 细节归纳题。作者在篇首提到“自己活也要让别人活”。在接下来的几句中提到，因为食物图片特别赏心悦目，因此食物拍客一定很爱食物并且希望它美味。但研究表明，只注重食物“外在美”的人对食物本身口感的满意度会下降。由此可以推断，无论是食物拍客还是爱在网上浏览美食的人都可能对食物本身的口感大失所望。因此，D)正确。A)后半部分“你不能让你喜欢的食物尝起来美味”太绝对，也不符合题意，故排除；B)“不是每个人都能用艺术家的眼光看图片，尤其是食物图片”强调食物的艺术性，偏离主题，故排除；C)“在网络上分享食物图片会干扰美食图片浏览者对自己饮食的关注”是在网络上分享食物图片带来的一种可能的后果，但与题意不符，故排除。
