What Is Emotional Eating?

Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger．__【1】__ Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.

Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.

_【2】__ One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings．Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored．But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast．Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce．__【3】__

Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done．__【4】_ It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating．But it is possible．And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.

We’re all emotional eaters to a degree．But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems．The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain．__【5】__ That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.

Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.

A．Believe it or not, we’ve all been there.

B．If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.

C．One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.

D．And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.

E．Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.

F．Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.

G．More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】E

【3】G

【4】B

【5】D

【解析】

試題解析：

【1】本段為總起，引起共鳴，A 選項中的“we’ve all been there.”的意思是我們都曾經(jīng)在不開心時候通過吃東西發(fā)泄，接下來馬上就舉了幾個例子，因此A正確。

【2】本段講解“借吃消愁”的原因，選項E 是下面觀點的一個總起，接下來具體地說明原因，因此合適。選項中what drives 對應文中空后一句中的caused。

【3】轉折，空前說major life events，G 選項中用though 進行轉折，little daily stresses 與其對應。

【4】本段用小孩子的舉例，前一句說如果小時候孩子被用糖果獎賞，長大就容易保持這樣的習慣，B 相應地說如果孩子在哭的時候得到餅干作為安慰，那就會把餅干和安慰聯(lián)系在一起。

【5】本段講這樣做的危害，D 選項也是講危害。后面的that’s why 支撐了這D 選項的觀點。
