24、Many of us have a certain pose for photos, but have you ever noticed which side you naturally turn?
According to US science writer Sam Kean, people tend to turn to the right and show the left side of their faces.
That might be because the left side of our faces looks better than our right side. This may have something to do with our brain. The right side of the brain, which controls the left side of the body, deals more with emotions. So the left half of faces are often more expressive(富有表现力的), The Atlantic reported.
During studies, it is found that more than 60 percent of famous paintings since the 14th century showed people’s left side of the face.
But when it comes to self-portraits, artists have traditionally drawn themselves from the right.
Yet this doesn’t mean the left side phenomenon(现象) is wrong. As Professor Marco Bertamini from Liverpool University explained, self-portraits are usually painted through a mirror. For example, if an artist shows his left side to a mirror, and draws what he can see, the final picture on the paper would show the head facing to the right.
The front-facing camera on smart phones works the same way as a mirror. When people take selfies(自拍照) using a front-facing camera, most of them take a photo with their head facing to the right.
“Our results show that a preference(偏爱) for self-portraits showing one’s left side, even if this appears as a right face in the mirror-reversed(反转的)display,”Bertamini told The Guardian.
Next time, when you take a photo, remember to show your better side to the camera.

A. It’s much easier for us to make a pose. B. It makes people look more natural on photos.
C. The left side of our faces looks better. D. The left side of our faces look friendlier.
【2】From Paragraph 3, we learn that __________.
A. the right side of the brain controls the right side of our faces
B. the right side of the brain deals with our emotions
C. the right side of our faces looks more expressive
D. our brain decides whether we look good or not
【3】Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Artists usually draw themselves from the left.
B. There is also the left side phenomenon in self-portraits.
C. The front-facing camera on smart phones doesn’t take good photos.
D. Bertamini tells people how to take better selfies.
【4】What does the article mainly talk about?
A. Where to take good photos. B. How the left side of the brain works.

After several years, however, the boss made Bobby the manager of the company but John remained a common worker.
