Signs of Eating Disorder
About 30 million Americans live with an eating disorder. 1. Yet many others are often hidden in plain sight. It’s important to know the symptoms in those who might be at risk for an eating disorder.
They’re constantly talking about dieting.
The discussion around changing eating habits is incredibly common. Look at any lifestyle magazine or website and you’ll likely find dieting tips and advice. 2. If someone you love is constantly talking about food or their dieting habits, it might be a sign of concern.
3.
Changes in mood or behaviors surrounding food or exercise can be signs of concern. This could mean a switch in activity level like overexercising, too often counting calories, frequently visiting the bathroom after eating, fasting or eating too much. 4.
They’re constantly turning down food-centric social gatherings.
Avoiding social interactions such as birthday parties or going out to dinner with friends is a significant danger signal. People living with the condition have an intense focus on food or body image. They will keep away from situations likely ones that once brought them joy—where that determination might be tested.
The best way to support someone who may be experiencing an eating disorder is by talking with them, but when and how you do it matters. 5. Approach them with love and compassion, let them know that you care about them and that you notice that there is something they may be struggling with.

E. It should be away from the normal routine and outside of a meal time.
F. Some symptoms of an eating disorder may be more visible to the eyes.

How people read facial expressions of others says a lot about their cultural practices, a new study suggests.
In the study, about 80 Japanese and American student participants viewed a series of images (图像), each of which consisted of one center model and four background models. The researchers manipulated (操纵) the facial expression (happy, angry, sad) of the center or background models and asked the participants to determine the emotion (情绪) of the center figure.
The majority of Japanese participants (72%) reported that their judgments of the center persons emotions were influenced by the emotions of the background figures, while the same percentage of western participants reported they were not influenced by the background figures.
“What we found is quite interesting,” says Takahiko Masuda, a psychology professor from the University of Alberta. “Our results show that when Americans are trying to figure out how a person is feeling, they selectively focus on that particular person’s facial expression, while Japanese consider the emotions of the other people in the situation.”
“This may be because Japanese attention is not concentrated on the individual, but includes everyone in the group,” says Masuda.
In another round of image-viewing, researchers monitored the eye movements of the participants and again the results indicated that the Japanese looked at the surrounding people more than the westerners when judging the situation.
While both the Japanese and westerners looked to the central figure during the first second of viewing the photo, the Japanese looked to the background figures at the very next second, while westerners continued to focus on the central figure.
“East Asians seem to see people in terms of the relationships to others,” says Masuda. People raised in the western culture tend to separate a person from their surroundings, while East Asians are accustomed to “kuuki wo yomu”, which literally translates to “reading the air” of a situation. “As a result, they think that even surrounding people’s facial expressions are an informative source to understand the particular person’s emotion,” says Masuda.
1.Why were there background models in the study?
A.To show the participants various facial expressions.
B.To let the participants figure out their emotions.
C.To see whether they would influence the center model.
D.To see whether they would influence the participants’ judgments.
2.In the image-viewing process, the westerners ________ than the Japanese.
A.spent more time looking at the background models
B.spent less time looking at the background models
C.determined the emotion of the center model more quickly
D.determined the emotion of the background models more slowly
3.“Kuuki wo yomu” in the last paragraph indicates ________.
A.dealing with a situation
B.reading facial expressions
C.looking at the surroundings
D.knowing the surrounding people
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

D.Cultural Differences Determine How We Feel
