题文
阅读理解。 After moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high calorie fattyfoods in an attempt to appear more American,a new study finds.That's one reason why immigrants
approach US levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.
The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing
un-American influenced respondents' food choices.After being questioned about their ability to speak
English,75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. only 25
percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same.
When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study, Asian-American
participants also tended to choose typical American dishes,such as hamburgers and cheese
sandwiches.In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or
American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study.
Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories,including 12
grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪).
"People who feel like they need to prove they belong to a culture will change their habits in an
attempt to fit in,"said Sauna Cheryan,an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at
the University of Washington." If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over
healthier traditional foods across their lives,this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health." Cheryan
added.
Social pressures,the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem."In American society today,
being American is associated with being white.Americans,who don't fit this image even if they were
born here and speak English,feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan. 1. The author wants to show that __________. A. more and more Asians enjoy high-calorie snacks
