Whose face do you trust
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 (《公共科学图书馆·综合》), 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 (金融业). The more trustworthy (可靠的) 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 (轻微地) 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 (参与者) 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 (本能) about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. The temptation (诱惑) to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist (抵抗).”
11.What does the underlined phrase “based on” mean
A.建立 B.基于 C.展现 D.在……上
12.The research team used computer software to make________ faces.
A.2 B.20 C.40 D.80
13.People tend to trust those with________.
A.sad faces B.angry faces C.nervous faces D.happy faces
14.According to the research, people’s trust in strangers________.
A.depends on faces and information B.only depends on faces
C.only depends on information D.only depends on money
15.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.“Trust” strangers by their faces. B.Give strangers money.
C.“Trust” strangers by their information. D.Don’t trust everyone.

Follow your own style, be unique
It doesn’t matter how pretty you are or what you look like. True beauty is all about what’s inside. This is what international supermodel (超模) Adriana Lima told us during an interview we did with her on Sept 19 last year in New York.
It was really a great experience to talk with Lima. We think the Brazilian model and actress is a friendly, intelligent and beautiful woman.
When we asked what she thought was going to be the next fashion trend, she surprised us by saying that every girl or woman should have her own style and do what she wants, and not follow trends.
For example, Lima told us that her favorite colors are red, black and white, no matter what the current trend is.
Although born with natural beauty, Adriana did not set out to be a supermodel. She wanted to work in the medical field (医学领域) at first.
Her modeling career started in Brazil when she was 16. A friend asked her to join a beauty contest. She went there to support her friend, but she ended up joining the contest and winning second place. This is where her career began.
At the end of the interview, Adriana happily signed an autograph (亲笔签名) for us. We felt as if she was one of our closest friends.
When we look back to the interview, two of the things she said come to mind: “You do not need to wear makeup to be beautiful. The beauty is found within,” and “Family and friends matter more than your work.”
21.The author thinks Adriana Lima is________.
A.unfriendly B.pretty C.ugly D.stupid
22.Adriana Lima’s favorite colors are________.
A.red, green and white B.red, black and yellow
C.red, black and white D.grey, black and white

A.China B.America C.Brazil D.England
25.Why did Adriana Lima join the beauty contest at 16 years old
