Open the curtains and turn up the lights.

If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with 【小题4】 (bright).

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room 【小题5】 (consume) 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, 【小题6】 cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help to slow down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely 【小题8】 (rush) through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can 【小题9】 (easy) make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent 【小题10】 (much) liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

2. Keep your hands away 【小题4】 your eyes, nose, and mouth. You may come into contact with the coronavirus on a surface. When this happens, the germs can stay on your hands, so avoid 【小题5】 (touch) your eyes, nose, and mouth in case the virus is on your skin.

3. Stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing. Keep your distance from people who appear to have 【小题6】 (symptom) of an upper breathing infection. If it's appropriate, ask the person to stay away from you. You could say, “I 【小题7】 (notice)you were coughing. I hope you feel much 【小题8】 (good) soon, but please keep your distance so I don't get sick."

4. Disinfect (消毒)high-touch surfaces daily using a product 【小题9】 kills viruses. Unfortunately, coronavirus can stay on surfaces. Use a spray disinfectant or bleach (漂白)wipes to clean these surfaces daily. Make sure the surface stays wet for about 10 minutes so it 【小题10】 (effective) kills the virus.
