However, a new study led by the bod
99、y language expert Dr Harry Witchel shows this isnt always the case.In his research, he asked 44 participants aged 1835 to play a geography quiz game consisting of nine difficult questions so that they often got the answer wrong. Participants seated interacted with a computer alone in a room while th
100、eir faces were video recorded.After the quiz, the participants were asked to rate their experience using a range of 12 emotions including “bored”， “interested” and “frustrated”. Meanwhile, their facial expressions were then computer analysed frame by frame in order to judge how much they were smilin
101、g based on a scale of between 0 to 1.Dr Witchel said: “According to some researchers, a real smile reflects the inner state of cheerfulness or amusement. However, behavioural ecology theory suggests that all smiles are tools used in social interactions, meaning cheerfulness is neither necessary nor
102、rich for smiling. Our study showed that in these humancomputer interaction experiments, smiling isnt driven by happiness; it is associated with subjective involvement (主观参与), which acts like a social fuel for smiling, even when socialising with a computer on your own.”Surprisingly, participants didn
103、t tend to smile during the period when they were trying to figure out the answers. However, they did smile right after the computer game informed them if their answer was correct or wrong. Participants smiled more often when they got the answer wrong. Dr Witchel added: “During these computerised qui
104、zzes, smiling was greatly increased just after answering questions incorrectly. This behaviour could be explained by selfratings of involvement, rather than by ratings of happiness or frustration.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。人们普遍认为微笑意味着一个人是快乐的，但是研究表明，微笑仅是社交的需要，并不表明这个人一定是快乐的。7Why did Dr Witchel use difficult quest

107、onsistent with behavioural ecology theory.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第四段尾句可知，试验结果表明，微笑不是由快乐驱动的；它与主观参与有关；结合第四段第二句可知，行为生态学理论认为，所有的微笑都是社会交往中使用的工具，这意味着快乐对微笑来说既不是必要的，也不是丰富的。据此可以推断，研究的结果与行为生态学理论一致，故D项正确。9What do we know about the text?AParticipants were asked to interact with each other in the quiz.BParticipants in the
