We rose tint our memories and put ourselves into self-affirming situations. We become defensive when criticized, and apply negative stereotypes to others to boost our own esteem, we stalk around thinking we’re hot stuff.
Psychologist and behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley oversaw a key studying into self-enhancement and attractiveness. Rather that have people simply rate their beauty compress with others, he asked them to identify an original photogragh of themselves’ from a lineup including versions that had been altered to appear more and less attractive. Visual recognition, reads the study, is “an automatic psychological process occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation”. If the subjects quickly chose a falsely flattering image- which must did- they genuinely believed it was really how they looked. Epley found no significant gender difference in responses. Nor was there any evidence that, those who self-enhance the must (that is, the participants who thought the most positively doctored picture were real) were doing so to make up for profound insecurities. In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem. “I don’t think the findings that we having have are any evidence of personal delusion”, says Epley. “It’s a reflection simply of people generally thinking well of themselves’. If you are depressed, you won’t be self-enhancing. Knowing the results of Epley ‘s study,it makes sense that why people heat photographs of themselves Viscerally-on one level, they don’t even recognise the person in the picture as themselves, Facebook therefore ,is a self-enhancer’s paradise,where people can share only the most flattering photos, the cream of their wit ,style. ,beauty, intellect and lifestyle. it’s not that people’s profiles are dishonest,says catalina toma of Wiscon—Madison university ,”but they portray an idealized version of themselves.

The trick in food photography is to show the food looking fresh, so many dishes have
stand-ins, just as movie stars do. “When I get my lights and cameras set up, I remove the
stand-in and put in the real thing,” explains Ray Webber, who photographs food for magazine
advertisements. “Sometimes I have to brush the meat with its juices because it may have dried out
a bit. A and when I‘m shooting (拍照) something like tomatoes, I always carry water to spray them with dew just before I shoot.”
Shooting food outdoors has special problems. “I‘m always worrying about flies or worms crawling up
a glass,” Webber explains, “my worry is that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off
with the food.” Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to make
its color beautiful. Finally he found it: a weed with lovely blue flowers. When the shot appeared,
several people were horrified-the weed was deadly nightshade!
Just before being photographed, some meats and vegetables are _______.
A. fanned
B. dyed
C. frozen
D. made wet

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography (摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual' because they were very lifelike.
Photographs also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed feelings like other kinds of art.
The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of______.
A.his business
B.his house
C.his garden
D.his window

At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors
to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of
each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered
the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white
one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the
general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces
whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos,
but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with
carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than
those in the ugly room did. Other studies
that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.
Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?
A. People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly rooms
B. The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in it
C. The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behavior
D. Beautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms
