A
WHEN there are some strangers in front of us, which of them will we trust?
According to a new study in the online PLOS One, people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling.
Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments.
The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking.
The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.
Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted.
The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.
Chris Olivola, one of the study’s authors, said in the University of Warwick’s press release: “It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. The temptation to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist.”
56. Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage?
A. What kind of face do you trust? B. Who did the experiments?
C. Why do you trust him or her? D. Why did they do the experiments?
57. According to the study, which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted?
A. A sad face. B. A smiling face. C. A crying face. D. An angry face.
58. Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE?
A. The trustworthy faces were given good information.
B. Researchers took photos of the 40 people’s faces in college.
C. Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.
D. Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.

Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs， they materialize in the places we’d least expect. They can come to us as a drastic alteration in our physical reality or as a simple synchronicity in our lives. Sometimes they’re big and can’t be missed Other times they’re so subtle that if we aren’t aware， we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously encounter at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we’ll always hear the right words，at the right time， to dazzle us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.
On a cold January afternoon in 1989，I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt’s Mt. Horeb. I’d spent the day at St. Catherine’s Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path，I’d occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language，there was one man that day who did neither.? I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer，I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I’d seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm，this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered， rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd，though，was that the man didn’t even appear to be Egyptian！ He was a small-framed Asian man, had very little hair，and was wearing round，wire-rimmed glasses.? As we neared one another，I was the first to speak.“Hello，”I said，stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadn’t heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail， looked up from the ground， and spoke a single sentence to me in English，“Sometimes you don’t know what you have lost until you’ve lost it.”As I took in what I had just heard，he simply stepped around me and continued his descent down the trail.? That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989，and the Cold War was drawing to a close. What the man on the trail couldn’t have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage， and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses’s mountain，that I’d set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry，my friends，my family，and，ultimately，my life.?
I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up，stopping before me，and offering his wisdom，seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy： the odds were slim to none！ In an encounter that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home， a total stranger had brought clarity， and the hint of a warning， regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking，that’s a miracle.? I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are. In the moments when we don’t，that’s okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again. And each time they do，they become a little less subtle，until we can’t possibly miss the message that they bring to our lives！? The key is that they’re everywhere and occur every day for different reasons， in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.?
63. Why did the author make a pilgrimage to Mt. Horeb in Egypt?
A. He was in search of a miracle in his life.
B. It was a holy place for a religious person to head for.
C. He intended to make arrangements for his life in the future.
D. He waited patiently in expectation of meeting a wise person.
64. What does the underlined part “my own question” refer to in Paragraph 6?
A. For what reason did the man stop before me?
B. Why did the Asian man go to the mountain?
C. What change would I make within a matter of days?
D. What was the probability that others told us the right words?
65. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “subtle” in Paragraph 7?
A. Apparent. B. Delicate. C. Precise. D. Sufficient.

Cash Courses
Should schools pay students to come to class?
Friday is payday for students at one charter high school in Cincinniti. Dohn Community High School recently began rewarding students who had perfect attendance and good behavior with cold, hard cash. At the end of each week, seniors who have shown up on time all five days and stayed out of trouble receive $25, while younger students who have done the same receive $ 10.
People who support the program and others who like it say the rewards motivate many kids to come to class when they would otherwise stay home. Those who oppose such programs say that paying kids sends the wrong message. They say students should come to class because they want to learn, not because they want to earn money.
Students’ reporters Joseph Maneen and Peter Brosnan hold different opinions.
YES.
I believe granting money to high school students for attendance is a good idea. Teens can use that money to help themselves later on in life, whether for college, an apartment, or a rainy day.
Studies have shown that rewards can motivate students to attend school and that the more kids are in school, the more they learn. Chloe Hughes, a 15 years old high school student from Bradford, Mass., agrees. “The money at the end of the week inspires students to try hard in school and get better grades,” she says. “By making money at school, it gets rid of the factor of getting a separate job, so they can focus on their studies.” Receiving the money will make many teens want to come to school, rather than be on the street getting into trouble.
NO.
Think about what motivates you to go to school every day. Your list might include learning new information or spending time with your friends. Should getting paid be included on that list? Of course not!
Learning to be self-motivated is an important life skill. “Students should want to come to school and have a desire to learn, not to make money,” Leigh Kouril, an eighth grader from N.Y. explains. “Students should realize that doing well in school now could help them to earn a good living in the future.”
In addition, students might be less likely to pay attention in class if they think they are being paid just to attend.
Finally, paying students to attend class sends the wrong message. If that way of motivating gets hardwired into student mind-sets, students may think that basic tasks deserve tangible (有形的) rewards. Intangible rewards, such as gaining self-confidence, are worth much more than money. Anna Kouril, another eighth grader from Yorktown Heights, says, “What students put into their education is what they will get out of it.”
