   Fast food is a multibillion-dollar industry. For some of us, drive-through dinner has become a way of life. /But psychologists got to wondering/whether all this speed eating might actually make us less patient./
   In a series of experiments, the scientists showed volunteers logos/from several fast-food chains or asked them to recall the last time they'd visited. /And they found that folks/who had thought about fast food would then read faster. /They also expressed a preference for time-saving products. /So if you want to ease the pace, forget meditation. /Try a slow cooker./

   快餐行业的利润极其丰厚。对一部分人来说，驾车外带的就餐形式已经成为了他们生活方式的一部分。可是心理学家开始怀疑如此速食是否会让我们越来越没有耐心。
   在一系列实验中，科学家们给志愿者展示数间快餐连锁店的标志，或是让他们回忆最后一次光顾快餐店的情景。结果发现想到快餐的受试者会加快阅读速度，而且这部分人还倾向于选择节省时间的产品。所以，如果你想放慢生活节奏的话，别用冥想法了，试一下细火慢炖地做一顿饭吧。
