24、. Hes very ambitious.D. He teaches reading.CWhen we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten many of us want to squeeze it. Why is that?According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, its a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience resu

25、lts from the fight between the brains “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos w

26、ere of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the

27、cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed(征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that p

28、eople are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness.
