10、aking a good impression, being memorable is not just about novelty or fashion, but attraction, both physical and emotional, often in opposite order of importance.In a 2020 study, Andre Ndobo found people tended to remember the extremes: both attractive and unattractive faces. He acknowledged that on

11、e suggested explanation was that both are characterized by distinctive features that promote facial recognitionwhen compared with faces of average attractiveness. But while distinctiveness is memorable, beauty is skin deep. Accordingly, the way you are remembered by others is often not about what yo

12、u wear and how you look but about the way you make people feel.Professional interaction can create positive personal memories. Adrie A. Koehler, in a piece entitled In the Eye of the Beholder (2017) , found that when asked to recall their best learning experience, many students discussed a memorable

13、 teacher. What made the teachers memorable? According to the students, memorable qualities included not only teaching styles, but also interpersonal skills and positive qualities such as a sense of humor.We can relate to the results of this study when recalling people who are memorable in our own li

14、ves. They are not always people who we believed to be the smartest or most believed, but often those who made us feel the most comfortable, and who were most interested in us. Sincere interest is uniquely attractive. Not only will you remember what someone said, but they will also remember you, fond

What do People Remember about You?CThe over 48,000 orange trees that are distributed at all corners of Seville, Spain, not only fill the citys air with the pleasant smell of their flowers in spring, they a

19、lso produce over 16, 500 tons of fruit every winter. Though that makes the city Europes top orange-producing city, the fruit is too sour to be consumed fresh. While some of the produce is used to make orange juice, most of it ends up in Sevilles landfills. However, that may change soon thanks to a c

20、reative idea to use the oranges to produce clean energy.In the pilot program, juice from 38. 6 tons of oranges will be left to ferment （发酵）in an existing biogas facility. The juice is fructose （果糖）made up of very short carbon chains, and the energetic performance of these carbon chains during the fe

21、rmentation process is particularly high. The gas released from the fermented liquid will be used to drive a generator to produce clean power. The officials estimate the test run will generate about 1,500 kWh of energyenough to run a water purification plant. Its not just about saving money. The oran

22、ges are a problem for the city, and were producing added value from waste,M said Benigno Lopez, the head of Emasesas environmental department.If successful, by 2023, the city hopes to recycle all the oranges and add the electricity generated back to its grid （电网）.In trial runs, 1,000 kilos （2,200 po

23、unds） of oranges produced 50 kWh of clean energy一enough to meet the daily electricity needs of five homes. The project team estimates that if all the fruit is recycled, it will produce enough energy to power as many as 73,000 residences.The latest effort is among the many programs implemented in Spa

26、rs main purpose in writing the text?A. To prove a theory. B. To raise a problem.C. To introduce a project. D. To comment on an idea.DIn a new study, shark researchers working off the eastern coast of New Zealand have found that three species of deep-sea shark are bioluminescent （生物性发光的），producing a

27、soft blue-green light with specialized cells in their skin.One of the species, the kitefin shark, grows to a length of nearly six feet, making it the largest known bioluminescent animal. The other two species are somewhat smaller than the kitefin, and all are occasionally caught as unintended by-cat

28、ch by fishers. None are considered in danger of extinction, but little is known about their lifestyles and biology.Bioluminescence had previously been documented in only around a dozen shark species, so this discovery significantly adds to our knowledge, says Jerome Mallefet, lead author of the new

29、study.In the deep sea, where scientists estimate three-quarters of all creatures are bioluminescent, having the ability to create light can be extremely advantageous. In the depths of the ocean, which receives minimal amounts of sunlight, bioluminescent animals can hide themselves from enemies by pr

30、oducing enough light to match their surroundings. All three species examined in this study have large concentrations of photocytes （发光细 胞）on their undersides, which suggests that these sharks may hide from enemies in just this way.The discovery that these three species produce light is not surprisin

31、g,w says David Ebert, director of the Pacific Shark Research Center. Thats because researchers think many more species of sharks are likely capable of producing light一Mallefet estimates that perhaps 10 percent of the 540 known species of sharks are bioluminescent. But Ebert thinks even this is far f

32、rom the truth. As the deep-sea shark research advances, that number will go even higher, he says.Both Ebert and Mallefet hope that more attention will be paid to deep-sea sharks in the future, as the creatures and their habitat are understudied and under threat. A lot of people know that sharks can bite, says Mallefet, but few people know that they can produce light in the dark. ”12.What do we know about the bioluminescent shark species?A.They were quite difficult to catch,B.They preferred to live in th
