and feel cheated on the pour? before you trouble the waiter, take a closer look at the size of your glass.“people will generally think there being less in larger containers, than in smaller ones.” says theresa marteau, a behavioral scientist at the university of cambridge, in england.she and her workmates had analyzed(分析)how larger amountsand larger platestrick us into eating more food.and they wondered: could the same be true for alcohol?so the researchers convinced the employees at a local bar to run an experiment: every two weeks, for four months, theyd change the bars wine glasses from the standard 300 milliliter size, to either slightly larger370 milliliters, or slightly smaller250 milliliters.they saw how the size of the glass affected customers drinking habits, even though the pour, the amount of alcoholic drinks, was unchanged.it turned out that serving wine in smaller glasses had no measurable effect.but the large glasses increased wine sales 10 percenteven after controlling for day of the week, temperature, holidays and so on.the reason? “when the wine, the same amount, is being served in a larger glass, people are probably thinking theyve got less in there.” which, she says, means they might drink more, believing they havent hit their nightly limit.or, they might just feel less satisfied with the pour, and buy another round.the study appears in the journal bmc public health.marteau says that, if later studies confirm this effect, public health officials might consider directing a certain average glass size.“stating clearly the largest size in which wine can be sold could be a measure to reduce the overconsumption(过度消耗)of alcohol that seems to be shown by the glass size.” until that happens, the bar in the study now always serves its wine in the larger glasses.8how did they do the experiment?aby analyzing the pour.bby changing the glasses.cby controlling the temperature of alcohol.dby limiting the quantity of alcohol they served.9what did they find through the study?alarger containers persuaded people to drink more.bwine sales increased when they changed the wine glasses.cpeoples drinking habits were not affected by anything.dmore customers prefer wine served in larger glasses.10what can we learn from the last paragraph?athere are limits to glass sizes in bars.bpublic health officials are trying to reduce the sales of wine.cthe bar continues to use larger glasses for the study.dthe study may help to control alcohol overdrinking.11what can be a suitable title for the text?awhat affects peoples drinking habitsbdrink as much as offeredcthe smaller the glasses, the less you drinkdbigger glasses encourage more wine consumption答案与解析本文是一篇社会类短文阅读。研究者通过实验表明：杯子越大，人们所喝的酒就越多。8b细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“so the researchers convinced the
