I’m a seventeen-year-ld by preparing fr my A level exams at the end f the year. In the sciety where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend t accept the rat race values (内卷式价值观). As students, we want t get gd grades s that we can get gd jbs. I enjy studying and have cnstantly (不断地) received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accmplishment.
Anther ne I am pleased with is that I managed t imprve the relatinship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman wh was rarely at hme. Mum was a husewife wh always felt bred and cnstantly nagged (唠叨) him t let her g t wrk. Their cnstant arguing bthered me, s I advised Dad that Mum wuld be better ff with a part-time jb. He agreed, and their relatinship has imprved since then.
My mst prud achievement, hwever, is my successful wrk in the lcal ld flks’ hme. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many f my classmates, I d nt take part in my schl’s cmmunity service t earn pints. I enjy my vluntary wrk and believe I’m cntributing t a wrthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk t the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen t their prblems, glry days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hsted a successful New Year party fr the elderly and they enjyed a great time. Many expressed a desire t attend anther party the fllwing year. When I reflect n my accmplishments, I’m especially prud f my service at the ld flks’ hme, s I hpe t study scial wrk at university and wrk as a scial wrker in the future. I wish t be mre skilled in attending t the less frtunate as well as find great satisfactin in it, after all.

Livestreaming (直播) thrugh channels such as Amazn Live and QVC is an increasingly ppular way t sell gds nline. It usually lasts between 5 and 10 minutes, and smene prmtes a prduct. Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking n a link.
We analyzed (分析) 99,451 sales cases n a livestream selling platfrm and matched them with actual sales cases. In terms f time, that is equal t ver 2 millin 30-secnd televisin advertisements.
T determine the emtinal (情绪的) expressin f the salespersn, we used tw deep learning mdels: a face mdel and an emtin mdel. The face mdel discvers the presence r absence f a face in a frame f a vide stream. The emtin mdel then determines the prbability that a face is exhibiting any f the six basic human emtins: happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear r disgust. Fr example, smiling signals a high prbability f happiness, while an ff-putting expressin usually pints tward anger.
We wanted t see the effect f emtins expressed at different times in the sales cases s we cunted prbabilities fr each emtin fr all 62 millin frames in ur database. We then cmbined these prbabilities with ther pssible aspects that might drive sales — such as price and prduct characteristics — t judge the effect f emtin.
We fund that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeple shw mre negative emtins — such as anger and disgust — the vlume f sales went dwn. But we als fund that a similar thing happened when the salespeple shw high levels f psitive emtins, such as happiness r surprise.
A likely explanatin, based n ur research, is that smiling can be disgusting because it lacks true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller. A seller’s happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the custmer’s expense.
8、What can we knw abut the livestreaming t sell gds nline?
A.It challenges the physical ecnmy.
B.It helps big cmpany sell all gds.
C.It is very cnvenient fr the buyers.
D.It helps the sellers develp fixed expressins.
9、What des the underlined wrd “ff-putting” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Unhappy.B.Embarrassed.
C.Surprised.D.Shy.
10、Hw d custmers feel abut the seller’s smiling?
A.They feel thankful.B.They feel happy.
C.They feel cheated.D.They feel s tired.
11、Which f the fllwing culd be the best title fr the text?
A.Livestreamers Sell Prducts Successfully
B.Smiling Can Increase the Sales in Reality

A study, which was published in the magazine Cgnitive Research: Principles and Implicatins, fund that wmen may cnsider men wearing face masks as mre attractive. The researchers find that nt nly d cverings change peple’s attractiveness but the type f cvering plays a rle as well.
Dr. Michael Lewis, a prfessr at Cardiff University’s Schl f Psychlgy, said, “Research carried ut befre the pandemic (疫情) fund that medical face masks reduce attractiveness —— s we wanted t test whether this had changed since face cverings became cmmn during the spread f COVID-19 and understand whether the type f mask had any effect.”
“Our study suggests that faces are cnsidered mst attractive when cvered with medical face masks. This may be because we’re used t healthcare wrkers wearing blue masks and nw we assciate these with peple in caring r medical prfessins,” Lewis explained. “At a time when we feel insecure, we may find the wearing f medical masks reassuring (使人安心的) and s feel mre psitive twards the wearer.”
The study als suggested that peple’s faces were thught f as dramatically mre attractive when cvered with masks cmpared with being uncvered. “Sme f this effect may be a result f being able t hide undesirable features in the lwer part f the face —— but this effect was present fr bth less attractive and mre attractive peple,” Lewis said. The team cnducted the study by asking 43 wmen t rank the attractiveness f images f men’s faces withut a mask, wearing a clth mask, wearing a blue medical mask, and hlding a black bk cvering the area a face mask wuld hide. The participants said thse wearing a clth mask were mre attractive than the nes with n masks r whse faces were partly cvered by the bk. But the surgical (外科的，手术的) mask —— which was just a nrmal kind —— made the wearer lk even better.
“The results are ppsite f the pre-pandemic research where it was thught masks made peple think abut disease and the persns shuld be avid," said Lewis. “The pandemic has changed ur mind in hw we treat the wearers f masks. When we see smene wearing a mask we n lnger think ‘that persn has a disease, I need t stay away’.”
