Beauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive(有魅力的)to others

“A few bad nights is enough to make a person look especially more ugly,” their sleep experiments show.

The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night’s sleep for two nights.

A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row. The researchers took make—up free(素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.

Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge(评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them, "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?”

The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low

The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy—looking face makes people run away. In other words people don’t want to hang around with people who might be ill

Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said,“Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious(无意识的),but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us. "

55.According to the passage, which of the following is the best title?

A.Beauty Sleep, More Attractive. B. More Sleep, More Friends.

C.Less Sleep. Fewer Friends. D. No Attractiveness, No Friends.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。

Can you become a pilot or a pianist?Perhaps.The most important thing is to find something that you love to do and makes you happy.

56We all know people who are great at drawing or good at sports, don't we? They are the lucky ones who have a natural talent for what they love to do.But that doesn’t mean you can’t find anything you’re good at.It’s just that you might have to look for it a little bit harder

57Developing a new talent takes time and lots of effort(努力)so don’t worry if you haven’t found out yours by the end of a day, a week or even a month.Finally you will get it.
