Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings {#blank#}1{#/blank#}of satisfying hunger. Believe it or not, we've all been there. Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a big test? But when done a lot — especially {#blank#}3{#/blank#} realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.

Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} steps to change it. One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied {#blank#}6{#/blank#} major life events, like a death or a divorce. More often, though, it's the countless little daily stresses {#blank#}7{#/blank#} cause someone {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(seek) comfort in food.

We're all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cause) serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. That's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.

    Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.

    Although most people believe that formal schooling is required for scientific success, a college degree is not always necessary. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}excellent example of a man who won fame as a scientist {#blank#}2{#/blank#}academic(学术的) training is Vincent J.

Because {#blank#}4{#/blank#} his inventive mind and his skill as a model maker, he was soon allowed to try his own experiments in the company laboratory. His natural {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(curious) made him wonder about clouds. He developed, after many tries, a method of making clouds rain {#blank#}6{#/blank#}they would not normally do so. This method, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(call) seeding, has been very {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(help) to farmers, and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}made him win much fame.

    Schaefer believes that for people{#blank#}10{#/blank#}, most of all, are interested in the world and everything in it, a college degree is unnecessary.
