actually makes peoplelook older,unless they are over 60,in which case the wrinkles have set in and it makes littledifference.Researchers showed participants hundreds of photographs of faces of people aged between 20and 80,either smiling or with a neutral expression,and were asked to estimate their age.Thefaces of younger people in their twenties and thirties were strongly and reliably identifiedas looking older when they were smiling.However,smiling had little or no effect on theperceived age of those over the age of 60.The study found that for middle-aged people between the ages of 40 and 60,gender played a第4页，共21页role in whether smiling altered the perceived age.Men in this age category appeared older whenthey smiled but for their female counterparts,smiling had no effect.Researchers also suggested that it could be down to the gender differences in lifestyle and skincare that could affect facial wrinkling.Mr.Goodale,the lead researcher,said：Not only domiddle-aged men have more wrinkles than middle-aged women-the wrinkles around theeyes increases more when middle-aged men smile than it does when middle-aged womensmile.The study follows a similar one undertaken in 2018 which also disproved the theory thatsmiling can take years off your appearance.The same scientists published a paper saying thatthe belief nwell-rooted in media was ua complete misconception.They said the misplacedbelief was causing social media users to post ageing photos of themselves online.12.According to the passage,what is commonly believed about smiling?A.Smiling can fill people with
