Fixing photos can hurt

Posting selfies (自拍) online can be a fun way to share your life with your friends and family. But some people take their photos a bit too seriously and spend a lot of time editing them. This not only presents a “fake” image (形象) of those people to the world, but can even make people feel worse about themselves.

Researchers in Australia did a study in which 130 women aged 18 to 30 were asked to look at a series of photos. Some of the photos showed thin women, while others showed average-sized women. Afterwards, the women were asked to take a selfie with an iPad and were then given 10 minutes to edit the selfie.

The women were also asked about their personal dissatisfaction with their bodies and faces several times during the experiment—before and after viewing their images, and after editing their selfies.

The researchers’ findings showed that the longer the women took to edit and post their selfies, the more likely they were to have negative (消极的) feelings about their own appearance. In addition, the more heavily edited the photos were, the more likely it was that the women were dissatisfied with their facial appearance.

People are often pressured to present the best version (版本) of themselves. This in turn creates greater stress as they edit their photos to “perfection”, while they themselves don’t actually change, according to Professor Marika Tiggemann, one of the researchers. The findings show the difficulties people face when using social media.

1.Why do some people spend plenty of time editing their photos?

A.Because they want to show people their fake image.

B.Because they want to make people feel worse about them.

C.Because they want to kill time.

D.Because they take their photos too seriously.

2.Which things were the women asked to do in the study?

①To look at given photos　　　　　　　　 ②To make their selfies

③To comment on given photos　　　　　 ④To express their attitudes

⑤To edit their selfies

A.①②③④ B.①②④⑤ C.①②③⑤ D.②③④⑤

3.Which one of the following is NOT the research’s finding?

A.The longer one edits his selfies,the more likely he feels negative with his appearance.

B.The more heavily edited one’s selfies are,the more likely one dissatisfies with his face.

C.When people post online their best selfies, their stress may decrease.

D.Posting over—edited selfies online can make people feel worse about themselves.

4.What do Professor Marika Tiggemann’s words mean in last paragraph?

A.One’s stress with over-edited selfies actually results from pressure.

B.One’s stress with over-edited selfies is related to his appearance change.

C.One’s stress can lead to his photos’ perfection.

D.One can present his best version of himself under no pressure.

How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.

First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their failure lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separate successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose”—they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do-and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment. To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they’re willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always bear in mind that they don’t have forever.

Rather than seeing it negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to support themselves and go after what they want energetically and passionately.

1.Successful people owe their failure to _______.

A.others B.the society C.themselves D.their fate

2.The biggest difference between successful people and general people is that _______.

A.successful people have a purpose in life B.successful people can work hard

C.successful people have better minds D.successful people can always win support

3.People like to do business with successful people because of their _______.

A.money B.cleverness C.fame D.devotion to work

4.The writer wants to tell us _______.

A.how people live on purpose B.how people can be successful

C.how people make plans D.how people do business

If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple --- eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.

During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.

The reason is thought to be the so–called similarity attraction theory --- where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.

In a test, participants were told to watch TV --- where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.

The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too. The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.”

Harley Street psychologist Dr. Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.”

1.According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who ______.

A.advertises his products on TV B.has the same taste as them

C.reduces the price of his products D.pays attention to the quality of his products

2.The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.

A.food plays an important role in earning people’s trust

B.bosses like employees that have the same taste as them

C.people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn more

D.people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.

B.People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.

C.The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.

D.People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.

4.Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?

A.Honesty is the best policy. B.All good things come to an end.

C.Birds of a feather flock together. D.Where there is a will, there is a way.

As the global novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒) speeds up, many are wondering about the effectiveness of masks and when it’s appropriate to wear them. Most people from the East believe that wearing a mask is essential to control the spread of the disease. But people in the West generally would argue that, unless one is already ill, wearing a mask is simply unnecessary.

In Eastern countries like China, mask-wearing is rooted in their cultures. In fact, people in the East wear masks not just to protect themselves from illness but also for a variety of other reasons. Young people in Japan, for example, wear masks as a fashion statement, expressing their personal style through unique designs and patterns. Wearing a face mask is also an outward expression of group-centered values. With one’s face partly covered, one becomes part of a giant group. In many Asian countries, masks are worn in many conditions in daily life, such as doing housework or visiting patients in the hospital. They can give people the comfort of being protected.

In Western countries, however, individual values are the most important. It is up to the individuals to decide whether to wear masks or not. A face mask is reserved only for those showing symptoms (症状) of illness.

As a citizen, it is one’s duty to prevent the spread of illness by following proper procedures. Whether from the East or the West, social culture has played an important role in one’s decision on whether or not to wear a mask. That’s because human beings are social creatures who take into consideration what other members of society think of us. The most important thing is to respect others’ opinions, no matter how different they are.

1.What is the function of the first paragraph?

A.To lead to the topic of the text. B.To show how serious the disease is.

C.To confirm the influence of culture. D.To prove it is essential to wear a mask.

2.What is the reason why some young people in Japan wear masks?

A.They wear masks to show respect for others.

B.They want the comfort of being protected.

C.It is fashionable for the young to wear masks.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards people’s decision on wearing masks?

A.Subjective. B.Objective.

C.Doubtful. D.Positive.

4.Where is the text most likely taken from?

A.A diary. B.A guidebook.

C.A novel. D.A magazine.

The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.

The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses(病毒) passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.

During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.

At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains—taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

1.How many examples does the writer offer to support his argument?

A.3 B.4 C.5 D.6

2.Arctic explorers may catch colds when ________.

A.they are working in the isolated Arctic regions

B.they are writing reports in terribly cold weather

C.they are free from work in the isolated Arctic regions

D.they are coming into touch again with the outside world

3.What happened to the volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit?

A.They suffered a lot. B.They never caught colds.

C.They often caught colds. D.They became very strong.

4.Which can we learn from the text?

A.Colds are not all caused by cold.

B.The Eskimos never suffer from colds.

C.People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.

D.It's uncertain why people are more likely to catch colds in the winter.

5.What is the text mainly about?

A.The experiments on the common cold.

B.Some treatments for the common cold.

C.The continued spread of common colds.

D.The reason and the way people catch colds.
