When it is fully wound up (上弦), the radio can work for long periods.The clock work product is not a new invention. The Victorians had already put it in wide use. We may find them used in toys as well. Then what is new about this clockwork radio? Baylis has used this simple but effective (高效的) way of creating electricity to both help the people of the Third World and to develop a product which is selling well in Western Europe.Even former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandella has one of these radios and personally recommends this product to others. 36 .

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 peoples left side of the face.But when it comes to self-portraits, artists have traditionally drawn themselves from the right.Yet this doesnt 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 ones 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.39 . Why do people like to show the left side of their faces for photos?AIts much easier for us to make a pose.BIt makes people look more natural on photos.CThe left side of our faces looks better.DThe left side of our faces look friendlier.40 . From Paragraph 3, we learn that _.Athe right side of the brain controls the right side of our facesBthe right side of the brain deals with our emotionsCthe right side of our faces looks more expressiveDour brain decides whether we look good or not41 . Which of the following is TRUE?AArtists usually draw themselves from the left.BThere is also the left side phenomenon in self-portraits.CThe front-facing camera on smart phones doesnt take good photos.DBertamini tells people how to take better selfies.42 . What does the article mainly talk about?AWhere to take good photos.BHow the left side of the brain works.CHow to draw yourself better.DWhy we show off the left side of our faces in photos.四、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据汉语提示完成句子（每空一词）。43 .
