15、do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. H
16、owever, Americans tend to stop whentheir plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating
17、as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and froze
18、n foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well ashigh-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get F

23、nternet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet ischanging what we remember and how.In a recent study, P
24、rofessor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The
25、second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find theinformation again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and to
26、ld them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹).
