22、Sometimes when we eat, what we’re hungry for isn’t food — it’s the taste of memory. Studies show that foods we think of as comfort foods don’t contain any magical properties. What might be comforting is the feeling of proximity (亲近) to other people associated with the foods.

Thoughts about comfort foods are often linked to calories, warmth or a sense of well-being, but what we don’t think about is that they also provide something social to us. People like comfort foods because of their ability to make them feel that they belong.

When Marcel Proust, author of Remembrance of Things Past, bit into a cake at his aunt’s house, he was overwhelmed by a feeling of nostalgia. Where had this “all-powerful joy ” come from? He sensed that it was connected to the taste of tea and cake, but it “ went far beyond” those flavors, he wrote. In Proust’s case, the taste he experienced took him back to childhood experiences with a beloved aunt, to whom he formed a strong bond.

Comfort foods are often thought of as being rich in calories or full of sugar. Nevertheless, other studies have also shown that the line between comfort and food isn’t as clear as “ junk food = happiness. ” Eating so-called junk food does activate the brain’s reward system, but that high is short-lived. It’s not the deep reward of real comfort. On the other hand, if you feel bad, you might as well have a salad, as long as there is something in the food to bring back pleasant memories and create a sense of belonging. Taste and smell, Proust wrote, “ stay fresh a long time. ”

【1】How do comfort foods function?

A．They inspire a sense of belonging.

B．They are linked to all-powerful joy.

C．They provide the calories one needs.

D．They set off the brain’s reward system.

【2】Why does the author mention Marcel Proust in Para. 3?

A．To express love for a special cake.

B．To share a good childhood memory.

C．To. show the nature of comfort foods.

D．To prove a popular belief about foods.

【3】What does Para. 4 mainly talk about?

A．The less clear line between comfort and food.

B．The connection between junk food and happiness.

C．The difference between comfort foods and junk food.

D．The relationship between comfort foods and reward system.

【4】Where does the passage probably come from?

A．A science report.

B．An advertisement.

C．A cooking guide.

D．A health magazine.
