For those proprietors, this must be a fantastic invention to help them pick target customers right emotional moment to sell them something, a future where mobile phones, cars and web sites could read our mind and react to our moods, he added. The researchers, who are developing the technology at

21、 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, also hope to get it to accept other inputs such as posture and gesture. “Our research could enable websites to tailor advertising or products to your mood. said Robinson. For example, a Webcam linked with our software could process you

22、r image, encode the correct emotional state and send information to a website.

26、ture for Online ShoppingD. A Future with Mind-reading ComputersCRats and other animals need to be highly tuned to social signals from others so that they can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid. To find out if this extends to non-living beings, Loleh Quinn at the University of Ca

27、lifornia, San Diego, and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals from robotic rats.They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat one social and one asocial for 5 days. The robots rats were quite minimalist, like a chunkier(厚实的) version of a computer mouse with wheel

28、s to move around and colorful markings.During the experiment, the social robot rat followed the living rats around, played with the same toys, and opened caged doors to let trapped rats escape. Meanwhile, the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwards and side to side.Next, the researchers tr

29、apped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to release them by pressing a lever.Across 18 trials each, the living rats were 52 percent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one. This suggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social

30、being. They may have bonded more with the social robot because it displayed behaviours like communal exploring and playing. This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier, and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped, says Quinn.The readiness of the rats t

31、o befriend the social robot was surprising given its minimal design. The robot was the same size as a regular rat but resembled a simple plastic box on wheels. “Wed assumed wed have to give it a moving head and tail, facial features, and put a scene on it to make it smell like a real rat, but that w

32、asnt necessary,” says Janet Wiles at the University of Queensland in Australia, who helped with the research.Surprisingly, the finding shows how sensitive rats are to social signals, even when they come from basic robots. Similarly, children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings, even wh

33、en they display only simple social signals. “We humans seem to be fascinated by robots, and it turns out other animals are too,” says Wiles.28. Quinn and her colleagues conducted a test to see if rats can _.A. send out warning messages to their fellowB. distinguish a friendly rat from a hostile oneC

34、. attain sociable traits through special trainingD. pick up social signals from non-living rats29. What did the asocial robot do during the experiment?A. It followed the social robot.B. It played with some toys.C. It moved around alone.D. It set the trapped rats free.30. According to Quinn, the rats

35、 released the social robot because they _.A. tried to practice a means of escapeB. expected it to do the same in returnC. wanted to display their intelligenceD. considered that an interesting game31. It can be learned from the text that _.A. rats are more sensitive to social signals than expectedB.

36、rats are more socially active than other animalsC. rats behave differently from children in socializingD. rats appear to be adaptable to new surroundingsDIf you look across the entire life, what you see is an average increase in desirable personality traits（特点）.Psychologists call this the “maturity

37、principle” and its comforting to know that, assuming your personality follows a typical course, then the older you get, the maturer you will become. However, its not such good news for young adolescents, because at this point, something known as the “disruption hypothesis” kicks in.Consider a study

38、of Dutch teenagers who completed personality tests each year for six or seven years from 2005. The boys showed a temporary dip in conscientiousnessorderliness and self-discipline（自律） in early adolescence, and the girls showed a temporary increase in neuroticismemotional instability. This seems to ba

39、ck up some of the stereotypes（成见） we have of messy teen bedrooms and mood swings. Thankfully, this decline in personality is short-lived, with the Dutch data showing that the teenagers previous positive traits rebound（反弹）in later adolescence.Both parents and their teenage children agree that changes

40、 occur, but surprisingly, the perceived （感知到的）change can depend on who is measuring, according to a 2017 study of over 2,700 German teenagers. They rated their own personalities twice, at age 11 and age 14, and their parents also rated their personalities at these times. Some differences appear: for

41、 instance, while the teenagers rated themselves as declining in agreeability, their parents saw this decline as much sharper. Also, the teens saw themselves as increasingly extroverted（外向的）, but their parents saw them as increasingly introverted.This mismatch can perhaps be explained by the big chan

42、ges underway in the parent-child relationship brought on by teenagers growing desire for autonomy(自主) and privacy. The researchers point out that parents and teens might also be using different reference pointsparents are measuring their teenagers traits against a typical adult, while the teenagers

43、are comparing their own traits against those displayed by their peers.This is in line with several further studies, which also reveal a pattern of a temporary reduction in advantageous traits in early adolescence. The general picture of the teenage years as a temporary personality “disruption” there

44、fore seems accurate. In fact, were only just beginning to understand the complex mix of genetic and environmental factors that contribute to individual patterns of personality change.Studies also offer some clues for how we might create more nurturing(养育) environments for teenagers to aid their pers

45、onality development. This is an approach worth pushing further given that teenage personality traits are predictive of experiences in later life. For instance, one British study of over 4,000 teenagers showed that those who scores lower in conscientiousness were twice as likely to be unemployed late

46、r in life, in comparison with those who scored higher.People focus so much on teaching teenagers facts and getting them to pass exams, but perhaps they ought to pay at least as much attention to helping nurture their personalities.32Which of the following can be an example of “disruption hypothesis”

47、?AA kindergarten kid cries over a toy.BA boy in high school cleans his own room.CA teenage girl feels sad for unknown reason.DA college graduate feels stressed out by work.33According to the study of German teenagers _.Aparent give their teens too much autonomy and privacyBteens are more optimistic

48、about their personality changesCteens and parents have the same personality rating standardDparents and teens can later agree on teens personality decline34We can infer from the last three paragraphs that _.Ateens should pay less attention to their scores in examsBdeveloping teens personality has a
