Peple dn’t always eat just t satisfy physical hunger. Many f us als turn t fd fr cmfrt, relieving stress, r rewarding urselves. And when we d, we tend t reach fr junk fd r ther cmfrting but unhealthy fds. Unfrtunately, this desn’t slve emtinal prblems. In fact, emtinally eating lts f fd with little nutritinal value can weaken ur immune systems (免疫系统) and wrsen ur mds.
Eva Selhub, a dctr wh specializes in stress and medicine fr the bdy and mind, says that if we want t feel better, we need t fuel ur bdies in ways that reduce stress. But eating prcessed fds runs cunter t what we expect. She added, “Nt nly des the riginal emtinal issue remain, but yu als feel guilty fr vereating. The fds themselves can increase tiredness, anxiety, and depressin.” Mixing these prblems, yu stp learning healthier ways t deal with yur emtins, and yu feel increasingly pwerless against bth fd and yur feelings.
Stress eating tends t be autmatic (无意识的), such as eating chips withut even thinking abut it. Hunger, n the ther hand, lasts lnger. Therefre, Selhub suggests checking yur stmach befre getting a snack. Ask yurself, “Am I eating because I’m hungry? Or is it because I feel stressed r sad?” Mst emtinal eating is linked t unpleasant feelings, but it can als be caused by psitive emtins, such as rewarding yurself fr achieving a gal r celebrating a hliday r happy event.
If it is emtinal eating, Selhub recmmends turning t ther surces f cmfrt. Breathing exercises, physical mvement, and develping hbbies are a few ways. She als suggests trying t stick t yur nrmal healthy eating schedule and make eating int a ceremny — a ceremny f nurturing and fueling yur bdy.
It may seem that the main prblem is that yu feel unable t deal with yur feelings that yu’re facing, s yu avid them with fd. Allwing yurself t feel uncmfrtable emtins can be scary. But the truth is that when we dn’t wrry abut ur emtins all the time, even the mst painful and difficult feelings will die dwn quickly. Try t becme mindful and learn hw t stay cnnected with yur mment-t-mment emtinal experience.
28. What des the underlined phrase “runs cunter t” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Ges thrugh. B. Builds up. C. Respnds t. D. Ges against.
29. What are we advised t d befre eating?
A. Cntrl ur eating time. B. Figure ut ur eating reasns.
C. Prepare mre healthy fds. D. Clear up ur terrible mds.
30. Which way can help us stay away frm emtinal eating?
A. Eating junk fd. B. Playing cmputer games day and night.
C. Taking part in a festive ceremny. D. Insisting n yur nrmal healthy eating schedule.
31. What may be a suitable title fr the text?
A. What fd t chse fr a healthier life B. Why bad eating habits destry health
C. Hw t deal with emtinal eating D. What t eat influences ur mds

32. What d we knw abut the smart shpping carts?
A. They are able t recgnize gds put in them.
B. They are linked t the sensrs fixed in the ceilings.
C. They flash the green light when the rder is canceled.
D. They can tell custmers where t find what they want.
33. What des Beshry think f the technlgy used in Amazn’s G stres?
A. It may reduce the cst f running a stre greatly.
B. It is likely t help custmers t buy mre gds.
C. It has attracted many mre retailers than befre.
D. It is far mre expensive than their shpping carts.
34. When it cmes t AI and cameras, what makes the public wrried mst?
A. That smetimes the cameras dn’t wrk.
B. That they can nly buy gds nline.
C. That their persnal infrmatin may be leaked.
D. That gds in the stres may be mre expensive.
35. What is the main idea f the text?
