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.
According to the passage, what kind of people may enjoy peanuts?
选项 A、People who have browsed many food photos.
B、People who are looking at photos of salty food.
C、People who are looking at photos of sweet food.
D、People who ignore the brightness of peanuts.
答案C
解析 细节辨认题。本段第一句中the less they enjoyed the peanuts的前提条件是看成味食品的图片，而第二句中enjoyed the peanuts more的主语是了解甜味食品每个细节的人。由此可知，享受花生美味的人是那些看甜味食品图片的人，故答案为C)。A)“已经浏览过很多食物照片的人”虽然在本段第一句中有所涉及，但与文章意思不符，故排除；根据本段第一句可知，B)“看成味食品图片的人”应该是不喜欢花生的，故排除；本段第三句中提到，注重照片中食物色泽的人(who focused on the brightness of the photos)更能享受花生的美味，而不是D)“忽略花生色泽的人”，故排除D)。
