Most of us now have more than one online social media platform (社交平台). They all have a place for you to show your best face in a profile (简介) photo. A satisfying photo can make any visitor to your social media pages feel good about you. But, according to a new study, we may not be good at choosing our own profile pictures.

Scientists asked 100 students to choose the best profile pictures to put on social networks. They found that the students picked the attractiveness for a dating site and professionalism for a job site. They decided what to emphasize (强调) in this way. Next, some strangers were asked to do the same for the students. At last, scientists showed these pictures online and asked people to choose.

People preferred the photos that were chosen by strangers rather than those chosen by the students themselves. Scientists found that strangers are better at choosing true pictures that show a person’s appearance. It is because that people usually think of themselves more positively (积极地) than others do.

Still, there are a number of questions to be answered. Scientists have not yet begun to examine which photos can bring good things in life or workplaces. But if you want to put your best face forward, you can ask someone else to choose your next profile picture.

()41. Why do people try to pick best online profile pictures of themselves?

A. To make themselves feel happy.

B. To show off (炫耀) their appearance.

C. To compete with (与……竞争) their friends.

D. To leave others a good impression.

()42. How did the students in the study choose pictures of themselves?

A. According to suggestions from their friends.

B. According to characters that a site requires.

C. According to whether their family like them.

D. According to whether they seem good-looking.

()43. Why did the students do worse in choos­ing satisfying profile pictures?

A. Because they were less confident about themselves.

B. Because they thought more highly of themselves than others.

C. Because they thought much before choosing the pictures.

D. Because they looked more beautiful in others’ eyes.

()44. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Let others take photos for you.

B. How to understand yourself better.

C. Others help choose better profile photos.

D. How to make your profile photos attractive.

()45. What may the scientists study next?

Should people keep pets?

    Many people have different opinions on keeping pets. I think it’s good to keep them.

    First, pets can bring children joy and happiness. Some animals are small and cute. Children can keep them easily. So for children, it’s good to keep such animals as pets. Second, more and more old people live by themselves. They often feel lonely and have nobody to talk with. Keeping pets can make them busy and feel less lonely. When they take their pets for a walk, they can also exercise themselves. Third, keeping pets can make people show their love.

    In a word, keeping pets is helpful to us.
