You’ll eat more.Is your waitress overweight? You’ll eat more.Wide varieties of food? You’ll eat more.Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes.If people ate it off a paper plate，they’d say，“This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate，they would say，“This is the greatest cake I’ve eaten in my entire life.”Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat.You tend to eat more when you think the food is good，and less when you think it is bad.So Grandma’s cookies always taste better than other cookies.“Good food” even has a “health halo(光环) effect”．If we are eating something healthy，we feel that everything in that meal is healthy.Due to this，people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories than the cheese cake alone.That’s perhaps also why eating organic food might turn you into an annoying guy.Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behavior.Food and hunger affect your judgment too.Hungry judges give more serious sentences.Kids who don’t eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast.People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.5．What is mentioned as a cause of overeating?A．Suffering from great loneliness.B．Being served by a helpful waitress.C．Being treated to high quality food.D．Eating with many friends.答案　D解析　细节理解题。
