【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 t the smell of fresh pizza, or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good, but what about sound? Is that important, too? Scientists now believe that the taste of food can change when your ears hear different sounds, but it has to be right kind of sound. When you turn on a microwave with popcorn in it, it soon starts to pop. Do you think, That sounds tasty!?Not really, you probably think it39。s nearly ready. But when you smell it, you go to get the salt and the butter. Hearing the popcorn makes you think about it, but smelling it tells you that it tastes good. So what arc the sounds to change the tastes of the things? In an experiment（實驗）in a fish restaurant, customers（顧客）listened to the sound of the seaside while they ate. Did it make a difference? Yes, it did Listening to the sea seemed to improve the taste of the food. It was fresher and saltier. When the restaurant tried the same experiment with the sound of the farm animals, there was no difference in taste. The results are going to be useful for restaurants. Perhaps they will try to use fewer unhealthy things, like salt and sugar in food With the right music or sounds, perhaps we won39。t taste the difference. Restaurants are also beginning to set a connection（聯(lián)系）between food and the sound that the packet（包裝袋）makes. Pick up a packet of your favorite potato chips, what does it sound like? One restaurant recently changed the material（材料）that they used to make their potato chip packets because experiments show that the packet which makes a right noise will make customers think the potato chips are fresher. Another idea is that a list of music will begin to appear on food packets, so if you don39。t like your green vegetables, the right music or sounds could help you learn to love them. （1）According to the passage, what do you do when popcorn makes noise in the microwave?
