In a new study, 186 four-year-old kids were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the same vegetables renamed X-ray Vision Carrots. On the latter days, they ate nearly twice as many.

The study suggests the influence of these names might persist. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they were no longer labeled as anything special.

The research, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was presented at the annual meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington, D.C..

“Cool names can make for cool foods,” said the lead author Brian Wansink of Cornell University. “Whether it be ‘power peas’ or ‘dinosaur broccoli trees’, giving a food a fun name makes kids think it will be more fun to eat. And it seems to keep working — even the next day,” Wansink said.

Similar results have been found with adults. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Filet was changed to Romantic Hawaii, sales increased 28 percent and taste rating increased by 12 percent. “Same food, but different expectations, and a different experience,” said Wansink, author of “Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.”

The study was conducted in pre-schools, but the researchers believe the same naming tricks can work with children at home.

“I’ve been using this with my kids,” said researcher Collin Payne, “Whatever sparks(激發(fā)) their imagination seems to spark their appetite.”

Those four-year-old kids ate ________ when the carrots were renamed X-ray Vision Carrots.

A. twice more carrots                         B. nearly double carrots

     C. about 50 percent more carrots          D. as many carrots as they used to

According to the passage, _______ make(s) kids think it will be more fun to eat.

     A. power peas                                    B. dinosaur broccoli trees     

C. fun names of food                          D. cool foods 

The restaurant study didn’t show that ________.

     A. sales increased 28 percent when the name Romantic Hawaii was taken

B. taste rating increased by 12 percent after the Seafood Filet was renamed

C. same food would let people have a different experience with different names

D. the researchers got similar results when they work with children at home

The purpose of the passage is to tell us ________.

     A. people prefer food with cool names

     B. how to name the food which kids eat

     C. how to help kids eat in a healthy way

     D. kids often imagine when they eat food

     Kids won't eat their vegetables? Name them again, scientists say. In a new study, 186 four-year-old
children were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the same vegetables which
were renamed X-ray Vision Carrots.
     The study suggests kids like vegetables with cool names better and the influence of these names might
continue to exist. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they
were no longer called cool names.
     The research, which was funded (資助) by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was put up at the
yearly meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington DC.
     "Cool names can make for cool foods," says Brian Wansink of Cornell University. "Whether it is '
power peas' or 'dinosaur broccoli trees,' giving the food a fun name gets kids to think that it will be more
fun to eat. And it seems to keep working-even on the next day," Wansink said.
     Similar results have been found with adults. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Filet was changed to Succulent Italian Seafood Filet, sales increased by 28 percent and the taste rating (評級)
increased by 12 percent. "The same food, but different expectations, and different experience," said
Wansink, the author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.
     The study was done in pre-schools (幼兒園), but the researchers believe the same tricks can work
with children                .
     "I've been using this with my kids at home," said a researcher Collin Payne. "Whatever inspires their
imagination seems to inspire their appetite (胃口)."
1.What do the scientists say about kids who don't like vegetables according to Paragraph 1? (Please
  answer within 8 words.)
                                                                     _________________________________________  
2. Why can cool names make for cool foods? (Please answer within 20 words.)
                                                                      _________________________________________
3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 6 with proper words. (Please answer within 5 words.)
                                                                     __________________________________________ 
4.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
It appears that anything that can fire children's imagination can increase their appetite.
                                                                     __________________________________________ 
5. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
                                                                      __________________________________________
