Gathering more than 200 of China’s cultural relic experts together, a contest focusing on antique restoration     1     (take) place in Taiyuan, North China’s Shanxi Province on Mar 26, 2023.     2     (arrange) by the National Cultural Heritage Administration, a large number of     3     (participant) showed their skills by working on authentic historical relics.

Tao Zhongjun,     4     Chinese historian, said, “real relics for repairers are what a good canvas (画布) is to a painter.” The cultural relic repairers     5     (choose) from six categories to reveal the country’s strictly designed relics conservation schemes (规划).

Li Qun, a vice minister of culture and tourism said that the competition aims to select and train some     6     (high) skilled relic experts so as to establish a talent troop that possess up-to-date restoration skills.

Searching for talents from 27 provinces around the country, the competition is the largest event for     7     (select) future talents ever held in China’s cultural relic industry.

Competitors who wear red win more than those that are     1     (dress) in any other color, according to a study in Germany.

Researchers found that those who wear red tops, jackets or clothing score 10 percent more in any competition     2     if they were in another color. Experts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being thought of by others     3     more aggressive.

The findings could explain     4     Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have been so successful. On the other hand, the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confidence.

They showed video recording of taekwondo matches to 42     6     (experience) judges. One fighter wore blue and the other wore red. They then showed them, the same recordings but digitally manipulated (暗中操控) the clothing to exchange the colors. The     7     (fight) wearing red were given     8     average of 13 percent more points than when they were blue. “If one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it won’t change the outcome of the fight,” said Nobert Hagemann, who led the study. “But the closer the levels, the     9     (easy) it is for the color to tip the scale.”

“    10     is reasonable that wearing red makes individuals feel more confident, although this hasn’t yet been tested,” said Robert Burton, one of the researchers.
