29、, a new study led by Dr Harry Witchel, a body language expert, shows (hat it is not always the case.In his research, he asked 44 participants aged 18-35 to have a geography quiz consisting of nine difficult questions so that they often got the answer wrong. Participants interacted with a computer al

30、one in a room while their faces were recorded by video.After the quiz, the participants were asked to rate(评价)their experience using a range of 12 emotions including “bored”, “interested” and “frustrated”. Meanwhile, their facial expressions were analyzed by computer frame by frame in order(o judge

31、how much they were smiling on a basis of a scale of between 0 and 1.According to some researchers, a real smile reflects the inner state of amusement. However, the idea of behavioral ecology suggests that all smiles are tools used in social interactions, meaning cheerfulness is neither necessary nor

32、 sufficient for smiling. Our study showed that in these human-computer interaction experiments, smiling isnt driven by happiness; it is associated with subjective involvement（ 主观参与），which acts like a kind of social fuel fbr smiling, even when socializing with a computer on your own. Dr Witchel said.

33、Participants didnt tend to smile during the period when they were trying to figure out the answers. However, they did smile right after the computer informed them whether their answer was correct or not. Surprisingly, participants smiled more often when they got the answer wrong. Dr Witchel added, D

38、n Happiness.You may not know it, but your brain is already an amazing vocabulary learning machine. When you read or listen to something, your brain doesnt take each word at face value: its continuously taking statistics about which words appear together regularly so that it can expect whats coming n

39、ext and process speech faster.Our brains continuously release electrical signals, which change depending on what task your brain is dealing with. Scientists can use a technique to read some of these to study how your brain processes language.One of these signals, called N400, changes depending on wh

40、ether words make sense in context or not. The N400 is relatively small for expected word combinations, like coffee and cream, and increases in height fbr unexpected word combinations, like coffee and cap. This means that scientists can read the N400 height to analyze the kind of expectations you hav

41、e about which words usually appear together.In language leamers. the N400 changes based on proficiency (熟练程度).The better people get at a language, the closer their N400 pattern is to native speakers. This means that an important part of language proficiency is taking statistics and building expectat

42、ions about what words usually appear together, just as native speakers do.To get better at this, we need to flood our brains with loads of natural content, so we can build up a picture of which kinds of words usually appear together. Reading is a great way to do this and theres lots of research that

43、 shows that reading works wonders for your vocabulary skills.However, it is important to remember that if there are too many unknown words, it can be difficult to figure out what (hey mean from the context. And it is unpleasant having to stop every two miles to look up a word. Graded readers, which

45、eases?A. We make sense of some word combinations in a context.B. We combine some new words to make a sentence.C. Wc memorize some word combinations to learn a language.D. We meet some word combinations beyond our expectations.12. How can we have a native speaker-like N400 pattern according to (he au

By reading authentic content to increase our vocabulary.13. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. It is more beneficial to read easy bo

We should choose materials right for our level.Two thirds of the ice in (he glaciers (冰 I) of the Alps is doomed! These glaciers will melt by the end of the century as global temperatures rise, according to a recen

48、t study.Scientists claim that half the ice held in some 4.000 Alpine glaciers will disappear by 2050 due to global warming through the effect of past emissions. After that, even if carbon emissions drop to zero, two-thirds of the ice will still have melted by 2100. If emissions continue to rise at the current rate, the ice tongues will have all but disappeared from Alpine valleys by the end of the century. The most pessimistic prediction tells us that the Alps will be mostly ice-free by 2100. Only isolated ice patches would remain at high altitudes, representing five per cent, at most
