Perhaps yu knw them as "taters," "spuds," r "Kennebees," r as "chips," "Idahes," r even "shestrings. " N matter, a ptat by any ther name is still a ptat - the wrld's mst widely grwn vegetable. As a matter f fact, if yu are an average ptat eater, yu will put away at least 100 punds f them each year.
That's nly a tiny amunt grwn every year, hwever. Wrldwide, the annual ptat harvest is ver 6 billin bags. Each bag cntains 100 punds f ptates, sme f them as large as fur punds each. Here in the United States, farmers fill abut 400 millin bags a year. That may seem like a lt f "taters, " but it leaves the United States a distant third amng wrld ptat grwers. Plish farmers dig up just ver 800 millin bags a year, while the Russians lead the wrld with nearly
1. 5 billin bags.
Peple eat ptates in many ways-baked, mashed, and rasted, t name just three. Hwever, in the United States mst ptates are devured in the frm f French fries. One fast-fd chain alne sells mre than $1 billin wrth f fries each year. N wnder, then, that the cmpany pays particular attentin t the way its fries are prepared.
Befre any fry makes it t the peple wh eat at these ppular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any ne f these tests and the ptat is rejected.

Once cut int "shestrings" shapes, the ptates are partly fried in a secret blend f ils, sprayed with liquid sugar t brwn them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frzen fr shipment t individual restaurants.
S, nw that yu realize the enrmus size and value f the ptat crp, yu can understand why mst peple agree that this part f the fd industry is n "small ptates. "

The Stanfrd marshmallw（棉花糖）test was riginally cnducted by psychlgist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged fur t six at a nursery schl were placed in a rm. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed n a table. Each child was tld if they waited fr 15 minutes befre eating the treat, they wuld be given a secnd treat. Then they were left alne in the rm. Fllw-up studies with the children later in life shwed a cnnectin between an ability t wait lng enugh t btain a secnd treat and varius frms f success.
As adults we face a versin f the marshmallw test every day. We're nt tempted（诱惑）by sugary treats, but by ur cmputers, phnes, and tablets — all the devices that cnnect us t the glbal delivery system fr varius types f infrmatin that d t us what marshmallws d t preschlers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because ur ancestrs lived in a calrie-pr wrld, and ur brains develped a respnse mechanism t these treats that reflected their value — a feeling f reward and satisfactin. But as we've reshaped the wrld arund us, dramatically reducing the cst and effrt invlved in btaining calries, we still have the same brains we had thusands f years ag, and this mismatch is at the heart f why s many f us struggle t resist tempting fds that we knw we shuldn't eat.
A similar prcess is at wrk in ur respnse t infrmatin. Our frmative envirnment as a species was infrmatin-pr, s ur brains develped a mechanism that prized new infrmatin. But glbal cnnectivity has greatly changed ur infrmatin envirnment. We are nw ceaselessly bmbed（轰炸）with new infrmatin. Therefre, just as we need t be mre thughtful abut ur calric cnsumptin, we als need t be mre thughtful abut ur infrmatin cnsumptin, resisting the temptatin f the mental "junk fd" in rder t manage ur time mst effectively.
12. What did the children need t d t get a secnd treat in Mischel's test?
A . Delay eating fr fifteen minutes. B . Shw respect fr the researchers. C . Share their treats with thers. D . Take an examinatin alne.
13. Accrding t paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ____.
A . the rich fd supply and ur unchanged brains. B . the shrtage f sugar and ur nutritinal needs. C . the calrie-pr wrld and ur gd appetites. D . the tempting fds and ur effrts t keep fit.
14. What des the authr suggest readers d?
A . Absrb new infrmatin readily. B . Prtect the infrmatin envirnment. C . Use diverse infrmatin surces. D . Be selective infrmatin cnsumers.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A . Eat Less, Read Mre B . The Bitter Truth abut Early Humans C . The Marshmallw Test fr Grwn-ups D . The Later, the Better
