A
According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions（份）, it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly（表面上）participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test：the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what
she's having” effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I？
1．What is the recent study mainly about？ A．Food safety. C．Consumer demand.
B．Movie viewership. D．Eating behavior.
2．What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to？ A．Big eaters. C．Picky eaters.
B．Overweight persons. D．Tall thin persons.
3．Why did the researchers hire the actor？ A．To see how she would affect the participants. B．To test if the participants could recognize her. C．To find out what she would do in the two tests. D．To study why she could keep her weight down.
4．On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph？ A．How hungry we are. C．How we perceive others.
B
For top students from low-income families, applying to colleges is particularly difficult. One approach makes this whole process easier？ Provide an adviser for them.
B．How slim we want to be. D．How we feel about the food.
That's the idea behind CollegePoint, a program to help gifted students go to schools that match their intelligence. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT—and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than $ 80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students' questions.
Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, thinking about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice：Skidmore College in New York.
Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle, an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her. 5．What is the second paragraph mainly about？ A．How CollegePoint works. C．Ways to apply for a free adviser.
B．The history of CollegePoint. D．The challenge of choosing colleges.
6．What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges？ A．Thinking highly of their abilities.
B．Knowing little about colleges.
