25、Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn his name and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their names!” What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled（贴标签）each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.

The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten. It seems that humans are able to recognize（认 出）certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.

However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames（昵称）more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by his name only if they use it often.

This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy（自我实现预言）, as we become what other people expect us to become”, Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.

Earlier studies have shown that gender（性别）and race（种族）stereotypes（刻板印象）can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for.

【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．People can guess others’ names based on their appearance.

B．There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name.

C．A person’s appearance can be influenced by three factors.

D．It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names.

【2】Dr Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of ________.

A．their different cultures

B．a self-fulfilling prophecy

C．racial stereotypes

D．their living environment

【3】According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to ________.

A．wear glasses

B．have big eyes

C．look beautiful

D．have round faces

【4】What do we know from this research?

A．Nicknames have a bigger influence on people’s appearance.

B．Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance,

C．The volunteers were able to guess the right name 40% of the time.

D．People are good nt recognizing the different characteristics of faces.

26、Every hour spent watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And watching TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.

The researchers say they only want to tell people how dangerous watching TV for long time is. And they want to find out the relationship between watching TV and life.

Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded（得出结论）: TV watching time may have something to do with a loss of life.

The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian illnesses and lifestyle study, together with population and death rate data. But they said, “While we used Australian data, the effects in other countries are likely to be comparable（可比较的）. In the UK, the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day compared with five hours in the United States.

Some American researchers said that watching TV for long time can lead premature（过早的）death. Other study suggests that sitting for long can cause overweight and it can also make people take more junk foods.

England’s Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, says, “Physical activity offers huge benefits. We hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise.” Her study shows that exercising for just 15 minutes a day can increase your life by up to three years.

Stop watching TV, sit up and take more exercise!
