1 . Most of us don’t put much thought into the way we smile when we have our picture taken or meet someone new, but a recent study by scientists in the US found that certain types of smiles have a better influence on people than others.

According to the study, having a “good” smile is an important way to present ourselves well to other people.

“A lot of people don’t understand how important their smiles are and how important this way of communication we do with each other every day is,” Stephen Guy, co-author of the research, wrote in the study.

But what exactly is a good smile, and how did the scientists come to their conclusion?

A group of 802 members of the public, aging from 18 to 82, were shown a 3-D animated(动画的) face. The face displayed different types of smiles, and the subjects(受试者) were asked to rate them, from “frightening” to “pleasant”.

After studying the results, the scientists discovered that the “best” smiles are the ones where the mouth is at an angle of between 13 and 17 degrees, and the mouth isn’t too broad or perfectly straight. In simple terms, don’t smile like a shark if you’re trying to make a good impression.

It’s believed that the findings could be used in a number of ways, including making video game characters appear more realistic. The scientists also hope their work will help doctors who are trying to restore facial movement to patients who have suffered from strokes(中风)or other conditions.

But Guy pointed out that nobody should feel bad if they don’t match up to his so-called perfection of smile.

”It is important to be clear that there is not just one really, really good smile,“ he told The Guardian. ”Just because your smile is different, doesn’t mean it is in any way bad.“

3 . I can’t remember a single time when my parents directly told me “I love you.” _______, I can clearly remember the day when I talked to my dad about King Lear. I told him about how _______ I felt for Lear because he was betrayed (背叛) by his daughters Goneril and Regan.

Lear, knowing that he was getting _______ and weak, decided to divide his kingdom among his _______ girls. He said that he would give the greatest share to the one who loved him _______.

In order to make Lear happy, Goneril and Regon went on cheating their father with lots of expressions of _______. Meanwhile the third daughter, Cordelia, _______ such false (虚假的) shows. She loved her father so much that she didn’t want to do as her sisters did. Soon, Lear got deeply angry and _______ the only child who truly loved him. _______, he later also got kicked out of his own by the two daughters who always said: “Dad, I love you more than __________ in the world.”

My father’s __________ to my story was the following: “That’s __________ you don’t need to say ‘I love you’. Just saying ‘I love you’ doesn’t __________ mean your love is real. But if you really love someone, you’ll show it with your __________.” So although I never __________ the words “I love you” from my parents, I always felt loved because they told me in ways that speak much louder than words.
