阅读与表达(问答式)
Do you often post or look at your old photos on Facebook? A new study found that it can cheer you up to do so.
When you are looking back over these pictures and wall posts reminds us of happier times.
Almost 90 percent of users enter the site to look at their own wall posts, and three quarters do this when they are feeling low.
Dr Alice Good, from the University of Portsmouth's School of Computing, found this 'selfsoothing(自我慰藉)' use of Facebook is good to our mood.
The findings are opposite to the previous(以前的) research, which suggested looking at Facebook can be bad for your mental(心理的) health.
"Although this was only a small study, we will go on to study larger groups to see if the results remain consistent(一致的)," said Dr Good.
Dr Good did a survey of 144 Facebook users and found they often use the site to reminisce(追忆), using old photos and wall posts as a form of comfort.
The group had an average age of 34 and had slightly more men than women. Of these, 39 percent had a history of mental health problems.
1.What is the new study about?
2.When do most of the users go into the site to look at their old photos?
3.What does the previous research think of looking at old photos on Facebook?
4.What will the researchers go on to do to see if the results remain consistent?
5.What is the average age of the users studied by Dr Good?

You’ve probably seen it before－two elderly people walking hand in hand down the street and looking very much like each other. They look so much alike that they could be brother and sister.
Do you believe that people who live together for many years would look alike? It’s strange. but scientists say it’s true.
How scientists proved it? In a study, scientists found young couples only showed similarity by chance. However, elder couples were very likely to look like each other. The similarity could be very subtle(微妙) and could be found in wrinkles(皱纹) or furrows, etc. Besides, some couples look far more alike than other couples.
The scientists thought of several possible reasons:
1. Diet. “We are what we eat.” As couples usually share the same diet, will they probably look alike? For example, if both partners eat a high fat diet, their faces will tend to look fat. However, the scientists ruled this out(排除) using another small study.
2. Environment. Will elderly couples show similarity because they live together in the same area for a long time? The environmental factors(因素) such as sunshine and wind affect the skin in similar ways. The scientists ruled this possibility out as well.
3. Empathy(移情作用). This is the theory(理论) the scientists believe in. Couples grow to look similar because they are empathizing with each other. They copy each other’s facial expressions. For example, if one partner often smiles in a certain way, the other is likely to copy it. In this way, their faces share similar wrinkles and furrows.
1. The old couples look ________ than the young couples.
A. much more alike B. more different
C. less alike D. 1ess different
2. Scientists think that the old couples look alike in their ________.
A. ages B. education
C. appearance D. abilities
3. How many reasons did the scientist think of about it?
A. One. B. Two. C. Four. D. Three
4. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Your diet can affect your appearance.
B. You will look slim if you eat a high fat diet.
C. Old couples look similar because they are empathizing with each other.
D. Old couples usually share similar wrinkles and furrows.
5. Which is the theory the scientists believe in?
A. Empathy. B. Diet.
C. Environment. D. Wrinkles.
