Isnt it natural that taste and smell are the main senses when we enjoy foods and drink? Well, perhaps not. Now we are beginning to understand that flavor depends on parts of the brain that involve not only taste, smell and touch, but vision. These signals, plus our emotions and past experiences, result in perception (感受) of flavors, and decide whether we like or dislike foods. Years ago, flavor was a table with two legs taste and odor, Terry E. Acree, PhD, told National Geographic.A good example of the first bite is taken with the eye is that if we were shown two plates of strawberries, one red and the other pinkish, the majority of us would be attracted to red because it signals ripeness, sweetness and calories,explained The Guardian.The findings of a German study seem to back this up. Its subjects said wine tasted 50 percent sweeter if drunk under red light, rather than under blue or white.In a study released in mid-December, scientists found that the color of your coffee mug can change the way your coffee tastes, reported The Washington Post. And it is not just the color of the food that matters. Specifically, the white mug was associated with a more intense (or bitter) tasting cup of coffee, and the clear glass mug was not. The blue mug, meanwhile, was kind of an intermediate (中等的), Charles Spence, head of the research laboratory at Oxford University, told the newspaper.The opposite was true for perceived sweetness those who took part tasted less sweetness when drinking from the white mug than they did when drinking from both the blue and clear glass mugs.Its also possible that certain colors are associated with certain experiences. In the case of coffee, the researchers believe the color brown might be something people associate with bitterness. The white mug may have affected the perceived brownness of the coffee and this, in turn, may have affected the perceived intensity (and sweetness) of the coffee, the researchers wrote.4.

Interest and research.D. Bitterness and sweetness.CBaseball is a sport that began in the eastern United States in the 1800s.

It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales. Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back. Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on. Keep noise levels down no horns, whistles or racing of engines. Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel. Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales. Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction. Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales. Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if travelling side by side with whales. When whales are travelling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore. Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales. If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.
