【推荐1】Few people refuse to look at pictures of cute animals. Take Sally chicken as an example. The chicken with a yellow body and a flat mouth always looks lovely, which makes it popular on the Internet. Seeing her cute picture cheers people up. But there's another advantage of cute animals.
New research has found that looking at pictures of cute animals can also help us concentrate(聚精会神)better.
The study comes from researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan. They invited 132 university students to take part in a series of experiments.
In one experiment, students played a game in which they had to pick up small objects from a hole without touching the sides. In another experiment, students were asked to find a given number from a list of numbers quickly.
In both experiments, they did the given tasks twice – before and after looking at pictures of either kittens (baby cats) and puppies (baby dogs), or adult cats and dogs.
Researchers were surprised to find that in both cases students who were shown cute baby animal pictures made fewer mistakes.
But, baby animals look both "cuter" and "more pleasant" than adult animals. Some people may ask whether the test difference came from their being "pleasant"?
To find the answer, the researchers chose some food pictures which looked pleasant but not cute, and gave them to a third group of students. But viewing the foods did not make the students do any better in the number test.
This finding shows that viewing cute pictures makes participants(参与者)behave more deliberately and do tasks with greater care.
The "power of cuteness" may be of great use in everyday life.
Think about situations in which people need to act carefully: driving, office work and exams.
"In my first year of high school, I brought small plastic toys to school during tests. I would set them up in a row on my desk, facing me, and then get busy with answering exam questions," Susana Martinez-Conde wrote in Scientific American.

| B．Because Sally chicken is popular online. |
| C．To explain why Sally chicken is popular. |
| D．To introduce the topic of cute animals' advantage. |
| A．Seeing cute animals could cheer people up. |
| B．Seeing cute things could help people concentrate. |
| C．People concentrated better after seeing anything pleasant. |
| D．People did better after seeing pictures of adult cats and dogs. |
| A．happily | B．relaxedly | C．carefully | D．actively |
| A．It's improper to look at toys in an exam. |
| B．Cuteness can be very useful in daily life. |
| C．Toys are popular among high school students. |
