All parents know it is difficult to get children to eat their vegetables. Some of them offer rewards or treats for children finishing their share. But researchers have discovered that youngsters who are not praised for trying vegetables are more likely to eat them eventually. (16) The study found that the best way to get children to eat food they do not like is simply to give them repeated exposure to it.
Psychologists from Ghent University in Belgium, studied 98 children. They gave them 5 kinds of vegetables to eat: mushrooms, peas, eggplants, carrots and cabbages. (17) The taste tests revealed that carrots were the least liked vegetable among youngsters. The children were then given a bowl of boiled carrots and told to choose how much to eat. After 8 minutes they were asked to rate the dish as delicious, just okay or disgusting. The trial went on twice a week for a month with a follow-up taste test after 8 weeks. Children were split into three groups, with one group asked to try the bowl of carrots repeatedly with no further encouragement. The other two groups were given rewards of a toy or verbal praise. (18) After the trial, 81% of children who simply try the carrots consistently liked them. This is contrast to 68% for the group given a toy and 75% for the group given verbal praise.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What is the best way to get children to eat vegetables according to a recent study?
17. What did the researchers find about carrots?
18. What does the result of this research show?
选项
A、Rewarding them for eating vegetables.
B、Exposing them to vegetables repeatedly.
C、Improving the taste of vegetable dishes for them.
D、Explaining the benefits of eating vegetables to them.
答案
B
解析
题干问的是根据最新研究,让孩子吃蔬菜最好的方法是什么。短文中提到,研究发现,让孩子们吃他们不喜欢的食物的最好方法就是让他们反复接触这些食物,故答案为B(让他们反复接触蔬菜)。短文中虽提到给予奖励使孩子吃蔬菜的方法,但后面实验表明让孩子反复接触蔬菜的效果更好,故A项(吃蔬菜给予他们奖励)排除。C项(为他们改善蔬菜的口味)和D项(给他们解释吃蔬菜的好处)短文中均未提及,故排除。
