Do you like to flaunt your expensive items? You could find yourself without friends! Scientists prove that expensive status symbols make you look less socially attractive. Items such as a fancy car and a Rolex watch are often thought to increase our social standing and often come with a high price tag(标签).According to the latest research, however, it has the opposite effect and people would prefer to be friends with someone who places less value on material objects. “Often we think that status symbols will make us look more socially attractive to others, “says Stephen Garcia, the study's lead author from the University of Michigan. He adds, “However, our research suggests that these status signals actually make us look less socially attractive. The researchers conducted six studies which assessed how people presented themselves and how people viewed strangers. People who chose to wear higher status items tended to get a negative response, but people wanted to be friends with people who preferred lower status symbols. The study took the role of the luxury item to see if it was possible that the expensive item itself played a part in people's reactions. The definition of a status symbol changed based on a person's socioeconomic status, but the same effect of keeping off potential friends was seen regardless of social position. "At a social level, we may be wasting billions of dollars on expensive status symbols that finally keep others from wanting to associate with us, "says Kimberlee Weaver Livnat at the University of Haifa. She says, "And to the extent that close friendships are important to well-being, we may be unintentionally hurting ourselves.” However, Patricia Chen of the National University of Singapore said this does not necessarily mean status symbols are a bad thing. She says, "Our findings right now only apply to the formation of new friendships, Status symbols may be beneficial at other times and in other settings, such as when trying to establish new business contacts.” 【1】What does the underlined word "flaunt" in paragraph I mean? A.Show off. B.Get rid of. C.Give away. D.Hand in. 【2】Which is the negative influence of expensive status symbols? A.Lowering people's social status. B.Preventing people from making friends. C.Doing harm to people's health absolutely. D.Changing people s consumption concept. 【3】Who may be more popular among friends according to the text? A.People who are very rich. B.People with high social status. C.People who keep a low profile. D.People with charming appearance. 【4】What attitude does Patricia Chen have towards status symbols? A.Positive B.Unconcerned. C.Critical . D.Casual. |

About one million adults in the USA need someone to help them eat. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a robotic system that can help make it easier. After identifying different food on a plate, the robot can decide how to use a fork to pick up and deliver the desired bite to a person s mouth. “Being dependent on a caregiver to feed every bite every day takes away a person's sense of independence, "said the researcher. “Our goal with this project is to give people a bit more control over their lives the idea was to develop a feeding system that would be attached to wheelchairs and feed people whatever they wanted to eat. “When we started the project, we realized there are so many ways that people can eat a piece of food depending on its size, shape or consistency(坚实度)," said the researcher, “So we set up an experiment to see how humans eat common foods.” The researchers arranged plates with about a dozen different kinds of food, ranging in consistency from hard carrots to soft bananas, Then the team gave volunteers a fork and asked them to pick up different pieces of food and feed them to a model. The fork contained a sensor to measure how much force people used when they picked up food. To design a feeding strategy that changes based on the food item, the researchers combined two different algorithms (算法).First they used an object-detection algorithm called Retina Net, which scans the plate, identifies the types of food on it and places a frame around each item. Then they developed SPNet, an algorithm that examines the type of food in a specific frame and tells the robot the best way to pick up the food. The team is currently working with the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology to get advice from caregivers and patients on how to improve the system to meet people's need. 【1】Why do the researchers work on the robotic system? A.To help old people live a normal life. B.To help people improve their health. C.To release people from heavy housework. D.To make some people more independent. 【2】How does the robotic system work? A.By picking up some soft food. B.By picking out food on the wheelchair. C.By working with some nurses. D.By observing and delivering food. 【3】What can be inferred about the robotic system? A.It needs further research. B.It has come onto the market. C.It is suitable for any disabled person. D.It has won people's great concern. 【4】What may be the best title for the text? A.The process of inventing a robotic system. B.A new way to help those who don't like eating. C.Robotic feeders for humans are coming into being. D.Caregivers are going to lose their jobs in the future. |
