but too much and you ll seem dishonest As many women can prove there s a fine line between pretty and scary when it comes to make up Now scientists have shown that not only does the right amount of cosmetics make all the difference when it comes to beauty but it also affects judgments of ability and trustworthiness For all of their positive effects on looking and feeling good large amounts of make up soon start to negatively impact on the way people are aware of an individual s honesty In the study funded by Procter Gamble scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital asked participants to rate various looks in terms of ability likeability attractiveness and trustworthiness Pictures of women wearing no make up and looking natural professional and glamorous 光彩夺目 were shown to volunteers for different lengths of time When shown the images for just 250milli seconds 毫秒 all ratings went up with the amount of make up says the report published by Plosone org However when study participants were allowed to take in the pictures for a long period of time the results changed significantly Nancy Etcofif the study s lead author and associate researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital told ABC news that they found that when faces were shown very quickly all ratings went up with cosmetics in all different looks The women were judged as more capable likeable attractive and trustworthy Given more than just a glimpse of the images participants showed that 9 beauty and ability went up but trustworthiness or honesty soon suffered as make up looks became heavier When they got to the more dramatic make up looks people saw them as equally likeable and much more attractive and capable but less trustworthy comments Nancy Etcoffto the news site 64 Many women can prove that A wearing make up always make people beautiful B the amount of cosmetics makes no difference C the more make up you wear the more beautiful you are D the right amount of cosmetics is very important 65

amount of make up all the time B make up is not connected with beauty ability and trustworthiness C lengths of time of looking at pictures have something to do with participants judgment D the women are judged as attractive and trustworthy with too much make up 67 The purpose of the passage is to A inform the readers B entertain the readers C warn the readers D convince the readers D This is the
