When you take th

12、e distance around a circle and divide it by the distance across a circle, you will always get Pi(). While Pi is equal to about 3.14 when rounded, it is infinitely long. With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate Pi out to over a trillion decimal(小数) places. This makes Pi

13、puzzling, even to the most famous mathematicians.Pi Day is celebrated globally on March 14, since the way we write this date, 3/14, looks just like Pi when rounded. In 2009, U. S. Congress voted to officially make March 14 Pi Day. Certain parts of the worldplaces where March 14 is written as 14/3wil

People also love working to me

16、g to Blatner. People will celebrate Pi Day by eating pie and throwing pie, and with fun Pi-related games. Princeton, New Jersey holds a series of Pi-related festivities. Events this year include a surprise birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14, and a “Walk a Pi Eve

17、nt” where participants will walk 3.14 miles together.

28、” Future fitting-room mirrors in clothing stores could subtly adjust your reflection to make you look-and hence feel-happier encouraging you to like what you see.Thats the idea behind the Emotion Evoking System developed by Shigeo Yoshida and colleagues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. The syste

29、m can manipulate, or in other words, control your emotions and personal preferences by presenting you with an image of your own smiling or frowning face.The principle that physiological changes can drive emotional ones that laughter comes before happiness, rather than the other way around- is a well

30、-established idea.The researchers wanted to see if this idea could be used to build a computer system that manipulates how you feel. The system works by presenting the user with a web-camera image of his or her face as if they were looking in a mirror. The image is then subtly altered with-software,

31、 turning the corners of the mouth up or down and changing the area around the eyes, so that the person appears to smile or frown.Without telling them the aim of the study, the team recruited(招募)21 volunteers and asked them to sit in front of the screen while performing an unrelated task. When the ta

32、sk was completed, the participants rated how they felt. When the faces on screen appeared to smile, people reported that they felt happier. On the other hand, when the image was given a sad expression, they reported feeling less happy.Yoshida and his colleagues tested whether manipulating the volunt

33、eers emotional state would influence their preferences. Each person was given a scarf to wear and again presented with the altered webcam image. The volunteers that saw themselves smiling while wearing the scarf were more likely to report that they liked it, and those that saw themselves not smiling

34、 were less likely.“The system could be used to manipulate consumers impressions of products,” say the researchers. For example, mirrors in clothing-store fitting rooms could be replaced with screens showing altered reflections. They also suggest people may be more likely to find clothes attractive i

35、f they see themselves looking happy while trying them on.“Its certainly an interesting area,” says Chris Creed at the University of Birmingham, UK. But he notes that using such technology in a shop would be harder than in the lab, because people will use a wide range of expressions. “Attempting to m

36、ake slight differences to these and ensuring that the reflected image looks believable would be much more challenging,” he says.Of course, there are also important moral questions surrounding such subtly manipulative technology. “You could argue that if it makes people happy, what harm is it doing?”

37、 says Creed. “But I can imagine that many people may feel manipulated uncomfortable and cheated if they found out.”1、Whats the main purpose of the Emotion Evoking System?ATo see whether one s facial expressions can be altered.BTo replace the mirrors in future clothing-store fitting rooms.CTo see whe

38、ther laughter comes before happiness.DTo see whether ones feeling can be unconsciously affected.2、What can we learn about the web-camera image in the study?AIt recorded the volunteers performance in the task.BIt attempted to make the volunteers feel happier.CIt gave the volunteers a false image.DIt

39、beautified the volunteers appearance in the mirror.3、What does Creed mention as a limitation of the technologyAIt only deals with a limited number of facial expressions.BIt only works in clothing stores.CIt only makes subtle changes to peoples expressions.DIt only changes the areas around the mouth

40、and the eyes.4、What does Creeds comment on the moral issues with this technology imply?APeople should make their decisions independently.BTechnology is unable to manipulate people.CNothing is more important than happiness.DPeople should neglect the harm of the technology.24（8分）A boy shivers in the h

41、arsh Oslo winter, wrapping his arms around himself on a bus stop bench.

43、 bus stop. She asked him the name of his school and where he was from as she selflessly draped(挂上) her own coat around his shoulders.

44、loves and even the coats off their backs as they waited for their bus.Johannes dilemma was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Childrens Village as part of their winter campaign to gather donations to send much-needed coats and blankets to help Syrian children get through the winter.
