When there are some strangers in front of us， which of them will we trust？

According to a new study in the online PLOS One， people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you， especially if you are in the financial industry. The more trustworthy you look， the more likely people will buy what youre selling.

Researchers from Britains University of Warwick Business School， University College London， and Dartmouth College， US， did a number of experiments.

The research team used computer software to make 40 faces， from the least to the most trustworthylooking.

The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isnt as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy， even when the face is at rest. However， a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.

Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces， and asked the participants again whom they trusted.

The results showed that even if they got different information， the participants didnt change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthylooking faces.

Chris Olivola， one of the studys authors， said in the University of Warwicks press release， “It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts （本能） about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. The temptation （诱惑） to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist.”

36. Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage？

A. What kind of face do you trust？

B. Who did the experiments？

D. Why did they do the experiments？

37. According to the study， which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted？

A. A sad face.B. A smiling face.

A. The trustworthy faces were given good information.

B. Researchers took photos of the 40 peoples faces in college.

C. Most participants gave their money to the trustworthylooking faces.

D. Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.

39. What did the researchers learn from their experiment？

A. People cant refuse temptations.

B. People always do things with their instincts.

How has smoking been controlled in recent years？

People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public places―such as doctors surgeries， cinemas， theatres and churches―over the second half of the 20th century but it was after the Kings Cross Underground fire on November 18， 1987， caused by a cigarette end which resulted in 31 deaths， that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance.

How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place？

In 1998 the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence （流行） and passive smoking， including in public places. The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out. After a public conference in England in 2004， the Government decided to choose for lawmaking. Scotland went first， with a ban in 2006， followed by the other nations a year later.

What is the current law？

Any person who smokes in enclosed public places， including pubs， offices， on public transport and work vehicles， is breaking the law. It does not extend to private houses. It is also an offence for people in charge of premises （经营场所） to permit others to smoke in them.

How was it received？

It was welcomed by most organizations―except for some pub owners and restaurateurs. Many workplaces in the UK had already introduced smokefree policies consistent with the legislation （法律， 法规） before it was carried out， while others have gone beyond its basic requirements.
