You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness. Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue. Don’t forget the clock or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal. Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

C The other day I was walking into the bank at the same time as a man who looked homeless. He had a bucket full of coins. As I did my business at the bank, I couldn’t help but overhear his conversation with the other teller (出纳员).He wanted to get his coins counted and put into the bank, but he didn’t have an account. He was hoping not to have to pay a fee. I thought this was not going to be pretty. To my surprise, the teller said he would gladly do that with the fee avoided. Then he said, “Would you be interested in opening an account today?” He looked down, and said, “Well, I probably don’t have enough.” “How much do you have?” “Maybe ten dollars.” It was apparently not enough for the lowest balance requirement of an account. At this point I saw the bank manager walking over. I assumed he was going to be refused definitely. But instead, with the brightest smile Td seen in a while, she said, “Come over here, and let’s take a look at how we can set you up.” He looked nervous:why was everybody being so nice to him? He was thankful, but he said, I’ve got to have five dollars, and that’s only five dollars left.” “That’s fine,” she said. “We'll go ahead and deposit (存)the ten, and then you can withdraw five. I’ll just ignore the low balance requirement of your account.” He looked shocked. I felt very surprised, too. She was talking to him like he was an important businessman with thousands of dollars to deposit. It was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen. He looked so happy and immediately began filling out the paperwork. I left the bank,
