Question

【題目】 Do you believe that people’s habits of eating can show their characters and their ways of behavior? Take a look at the following description and find out if it is true for you!

The Slow Eater

After everyone else has finished their meal, you will find this person plodding along, eating one little bite at a time. When sitting down at the table, the slow eater takes his or her sweet time—and is always the last person to finish the meal. Slow eaters are usually people who like to be in control and know how to enjoy their life. They are also usually confident and even-keeled（穩(wěn)重的）. There are some health advantages of being slow eaters, for they usually have less energy intake(攝入), more easily get full and experience more enjoyable meals.

The Fast Eater

It is quite possible that you or someone else in your family fits the description of the fast eater—and if you grow up with a fast eater, you probably developed a habit of fighting for seconds. This person tends to barrel（快速行動(dòng)）through meals, cleaning the plate before the rest of the table has finished even half of their meal. Away from the table, fast eaters tend to be ambitious and open to new experiences, but they probably may also be impatient.

The Adventurous Eater

An adventurer is always looking for the next gastronomic（美食的） adventure. When it comes to food, and probably other areas of life, this person is a thrill-seeker and a risk-taker. Being an adventurous eater shows one’s openness to trying new things outside of one’s comfort zone.

The Picky Eater

This person may never have grown out of their childhood likes and dislikes, or the tendency（傾向） to turn up his or her nose at an unfamiliar dishes. This eater can often be found asking a waiter if the dish can be served without sauce or with dressing on the side. And in other areas of life, these people appear to get sensitive( 敏感的) and anxious more easily than others.
