Brian Wansink, a professor at the University of Illinois, says we also eat certain food because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories. Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For others, a bowl of noodles makes them feel good. How does a food become comfort food? Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feeling, and people in our lives. “When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup, I loved it. Now, I often eat this soup when I am tired or worried , and it helps me feel better,” says one of Wansinks friends. Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansinks research at the University of Illinois says “yes”. In his study, the favorite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream. After this , men usually preferred hot, delicious food like soup or noodles. Women liked sweet things such as chocolates and candies. Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy , but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried. ( ) 61. Usually we eat food because _ .

Someone probably gave you a few lessons and then you practiced a lot. You can learn how to study in much the same way. Some study skills will make it easier for you to learn and do well in class. When you pay attention in class and take good notes, youre starting the process of studying. Make sure youre sitting in a good seat that lets you pay attention in class. Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is stopping you from paying attention and taking good notes. Not sure how to take notes? Start by writing down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board during class. Try your best to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. Its also a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject. And youll find that study gets much easier because of your good notes. When theres a lot to study, it can help to break things into chunks. Lets say you have a test on 20 spelling words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them up into five word chunks and remember one chunk each night. You cant study effectively if you dont understand the text. Be sure to ask your teacher or your parents for help if youre confused about something. You can check yourself by reading through your notes.A. Break them up!B. If confused, ask for help.C. Pay attention: Good studying starts in class.D. Good notes mean easier studying.67. Paragraph 1: _68. Paragraph 2: _69. Paragraph 3: _70.
