1
The way we taste food is not as simple as you might think.
2
It's true that when we put food in our mouths, taste buds on our tongues help us work out what we're eating.
3
However, the experience of what we call taste doesn't just happen in our mouths.
4
In fact, 75 to 95 percent of what we call taste is really about how a food smells.
5
And there are other senses, too, that we use when we taste food.
6
Our brains take information from all our senses,
7
even sounds we hear, and create the experience we know as taste.
8
For example, if we see a food that is red, our brain will guess that it is sweet.
9
As a result, it may taste sweeter than it really is.
10
Green foods may taste more sour, black foods may taste slightly more bitter, and white foods a little more salty.
11
Even shapes affect the way we taste.
12
For example, a dessert served on a round plate may taste a little sweeter.
13
If it is served on a square plate, it may taste more bitter.
14
By learning more about taste, scientists believe we can develop healthier food that still tastes good.
15
Making sure we all have a healthier and tastier future.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
