20、Some people struggle to tell an artificial smile from a truly happy one. And computers have found this task even more difficult. Recently, researchers have trained a programme to detect when a smile is genuine.Visual computing researchers at the University of Bradford in the UK started with a softwa

Then the programme tracks the details relative to each other as the face smiles.Next, the scientists had their programme evaluate tw

The programme calculated the differences among the subjects faces during the two clips. And it turns out that ones mouth, cheeks and eyes move differently when
23、pretending to smile.In particular, the muscles around the eyes shift 10 percent more for a real smile than they do for a fake one. These results are in the journal Advanced Engineering Informatics. “A genuine smile is indeed in the eyes. The computer aids analysis of the exact weight distribution of
24、 human smiles across the face，” Hassan Ugail and Ahmad Aldahoud say.The researchers suggest their work could improve a computers ability to analyse facial expressions and thus to interact more smoothly with humans. But their real accomplishment is in proving Tyra Banks right: “You have to smile with

30、的研究方法与结果。所以，本文应是一篇科学研究类文章。故选D。DGesturing with hands while speaking is a common human behaviour, but no one knows why we do it. Now, a group of researchers reports that gesturing adds emphasis to speech but not in the way researchers had thought.Gesturing while speaking, or “talking with your hands”，
31、 is common around the world. Many communications researchers believe that gesturing is either done to stress important points, or to explain specific ideas, which you can think of as the “drawing in the air”. But there are other possibilities. For example, it could be that gesturing, by changing the
32、 size and shape of the chest, lungs and vocal muscles, affects the sound of a persons speech.Researchers decided to test whether this idea was true, or just so much hand waving. The team had volunteers move their dominant hand (优势手) as if they were cutting wood, while continuously saying “a” as in “
33、cinema”. They were instructed to keep the “a” sound as steady as they could. Despite that instruction, when the team played audio recordings to other people, they found the listeners could hear the speakers gestures. When the listeners were asked to move their arms to the rhythm, their movements mat
34、ched perfectly with those of the original speaker.Because of the way the human body is constructed, hand movements influence torso (躯干) and throat muscles. Gestures are tightly tied to amplitude (振幅). Rather than just using your chest muscles to produce air flow for speech, moving your arms while yo
35、u speak can add voice emphasis. And you can hear someones motions, even when theyre trying not to let you.“Some language researchers dont like this idea, because they want language to be all about communicating the contents of your mind, rather than the state of your body. But we think that gestures
36、 are allowing the voice signal to carry additional information about bodily tension and motion. Its information of another kind，” says UConn psychologist and director of the Centre for the Ecological Study of Perception and Action James Dixon, one of the authors of the paper.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。手势能够影响说话人

39、B. Because speakers and listeners are too familiar.C. Because volunteers have the same dominant hands.D.

42、that they were carrying no weapons. 1 Or rather, its tendency for picking up and holding onto germs from polluted surfaces, or from our own eyes or noses when we have certain illnesses. Those germs can then be transferred into the hands of the people we greet, while we can pick up their germs. We th
43、en will probably touch our own eyes or noses or mouths, potentially sickening ourselves and restarting the cycle.Now that a novel coronavirus is spreading fast, our hands are being cast in a new, doubtful light. 2 And lately, the Internet has been full of suggestions for socially acceptable ways to
44、greet each other that dont involve passing germs along unintentionally from one person to the next. 3 In fact, the tradition of shaking hands isnt the only greeting to take a fresh look. A Maori tribe in New Zealand put the brakes on hongi, the traditional nosetonose hello. 4 Maybe people will stop
45、making fun of the Hollywood air kiss, though its not a huge improvement healthwise.COVID19 is a real threat, and we shouldnt take the warning lightly. We may, indeed, need to keep our hands to ourselves for the time being. But were not ready to send handshakes into the dustbin of history. Humans lon
46、g for making a physical connection with friends. For now, perhaps, a regretful smile and nod might work as a shared acknowledgment. 5 A. Could we hug each other or nod?B. Could this be the end of the handshake?C. As we all know, shaking hands has become a habit.D. After all, our friendly intentions were not to infect or be infected by others.E. These days, it would seem, the potential weapon isnt a knife, but the hand itself.F. Were being drilled in handwashing techniques as if we were all secondgraders.G. The French have been advised to abandon the familiar kiss on the cheek greeting.15EFBGD
