15、Do you look like your name? Scientists say there’s a good chance you do.
This comes from a new study published in a magazine. Researchers from Israel found that
our given names may have something to do with our facial (面部的) appearances.
Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university, along with her team, did eight different
experiments (实验) in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer
two main questions:
whether people can correct ly guess a person’s name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.
During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos of people’s faces and
guess each person’s name from a list of four choices. They correctl y guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent of a random (随机的) guess.
What’s more, when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country, they were able to best match the faces to the names. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.
Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it, to match their names. One study especially backed up this idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by people easily, was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.
“Earlier research has shown there are cultural stereotypes (偏见) carried by names, including
how someone should look. For example, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereoty pes can, over time, influence people’s facial appearances,” Zwebner said.
The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.
“If a name can influence appearance, it can influence many other things. Thi s research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,” said Zwebner, who recently had a baby herself.
“As parents, it was really difficult for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meanings of names.”1．One of the purposes of the experiments is to _.
A．give the students a chance to know each other
B．explain what influences our facial appearances
C．find out different characteristics carried by different names
D．see if people c an correctly guess a person’s name based only on a photo of a face
2．People could match the faces to the names more easily .
A．when they did a random guess
B．when the faces are from other countries
C．when the faces are from their own country
D．when they have more knowledge themselves
3．The underlined part “backed up” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “ ”. A．supported B．changed C．compared D．cancelled 4．Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 are mainly to show .
A．the results of changing names
B．names have something to do with appearances
C．the importance of cultural stereotypes carried by names
D．the importance of a hairstyle in guessing different looks
5．According to Zwebner, we know that .
A．facial appearances may influence names
B．we shouldn’t t hink of others just according to their names
C．a name may influence many things and should be well chosen
D．we should pay less attention to the meanings of names and be ourselves

They say music is universal, and it seems to be true since wherever we go, we see people listening, playing or dancing to it. We tend to think that music is larger than our cultural differences and shows the deeper connections between us.
But according to a recent study published in the Current Biology, music doesn’t speak to everyone. There is a condition, the researchers argue, called “musical anhedonia”. They say th at those who have this condition may have few abilities to experience pleasure from music.
For the study, 30 people listened to the same, mostly classical music pieces. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire on how they felt about the music. At the same time, the researchers measured their heart rate and skin reaction, which are considered physiological measures of feelings.
According to the researchers, most of the people in the study got pleasure from the music. They had a quicker heartbeat and sweatedmore. However, a small number of them had very little and even no pleasant feeling while they were listening to the music. These people had none or very few of the physical signs which the others in the study experienced. The researchers say that th is means people have different abilities to enjoy music and that “there are people who specifically can’t enjoy music at all”
To study the condition more deeply, another group of scientists, at Columbia University, US, researched brain activities. They found that the key is the blood flow to the reward system in the brain. People who got less pleasure from music had comparatively lower blood flow to areas involved in the reward system of the brain when they were listening to music.
The lower blood flow make s it more likely that the brain’s “reward system” will be inactive. And it will produce less of the “pleasure chemical” dopamine. As a result, people get less pleasure from music.
If the research is correct, according to National Public Radio, there are si mply people who just don’t get music. They may get pleasure from many things, but a good tune isn’t one of them.
1．The people who is called musical anhedonia _______.
A．avoid listening to music
B．like to listen to certain types of music.
C．can’t feel the p leasure that music brings to others.
D．believe cultural differences are larger than music.
2．What was the purpose of the study mentioned in Current Biology ?
A．To learn what music people love the most.
B．To learn how music influences people’s feelings.
C．To understand the relationship between music and the body.
D．To see whether music works in the same way for all people.
3．What happened in the study when people listened to music?
A．All of them had faster heartbeat and sweated more.
B．Those who enjoyed music had slower blood flow.
C．They showed different physical signs as the music changed.
D．Those who enjoyed music had more dopamine produced.
4．Which part of a magazine may the article appear in?
A．Science. B．Sports. C．Health. D．Fashion.
