When we lk at a lvely baby, a puppy r a really cute kitten, many f us want t squeeze it. Why is that?
Accrding t a study published in the jurnal Frntiers in Behaviral Neurscience, it’s a typical experience f “cute aggressin”. The experience results frm the fight between the brain’s “emtin system”, which impels (驱使) peple t squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings f “wanting”.
In the study, 54 participants between the ages f 18 and 40 were presented with fur grups f phts. Tw f the grups f phts were f cute human babies and animals and the ther tw were f less adrable adult humans and animals. As the participants lked at the phts, there searchers watched their brain activities.
Accrding t the researchers, the participants reward systems were fund t be active as they lked at the cute babies, and they seemed t be verwhelmed (征服的). By cntrast, the reward systems f the peple lking at the less cute adults were fund t be inactive, and they seemed t be less impelled by their reward systems.
This suggests that cute things activate their emtin systems in such a way that peple are verwhelmed by the experience f cuteness. But reward systems wrk against these emtins by creating the desire t prtect cute things.
As Katherine Stavrpuls, the lead researcher f this study at the University f Califrnia in the US tld Science Alert, “The cute aggressin is the brain’s way f ‘bringing us back dwn’ by balancing ur feelings f being verwhelmed.”
Stavrpuls cmpared this prcess f balancing t an evlutinary adaptatin. Such an adaptatin may have taken place t ensure that peple are able t cntinue taking care f creatures they cnsider particularly cute.
S, althugh cute babies and adrable animals may lk cmpletely helpless, their vulnerable (易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them t survive.
Accrding t the text, “cute aggressin” refers t ______________.
the emtin f wanting t prtect cute things
the task f emtin system and reward system
the adaptatin f cnsistently taking care f cute creatures
the behavir f squeezing a cute baby r animal when seeing it
33. In nature, “cute aggressin” is caused by ______________.
A. the need f the brain t balance all feelings
B. the phts f cute human babies and animals
C. the vulnerable appearance f babies r animals
D. the cnflict between emtin system and reward system
34. Which f the fllwing statements abut the study is TRUE?
A. Facial expressins f the participants were bserved.
B. Katherine Stavrpuls cnducted this study n her wn.
C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities f all the participants.
D. The participants were divided int tw grups in rder t make cmparisn.
35. What is the authr’s purpse in writing this text?
A. T persuade readers t prtect cute animals.
B. T stress the significance f cute aggressin.
C. T present research findings n cute aggressin.
D. T share an interesting phenmenn with readers.

But nthing culd cmpare with the pumpkin. Fr that reasn, I was willing t g thrugh just abut anything t find a pumpkin fr my students.
In anther sectin f the city, I headed t a big market. “D yu have a pumpkin?” I asked the seller I saw. “A what?” she seemed t be at a lss. Hwever, I didn’t knw hw t make her understand what I wanted.

“She wants a what?” barked the fruit seller. I was in ne f the many street markets f Luzhu, a small city lcated in China’s Sichuan Prvince. Already, a crwd f curius n-lkers was gathering: white-haired grandmas, tthless ld men, mthers hlding infants. Everyne was waiting, wndering why the freigner was causing such a fuss (大惊小怪).
I tk a deep breath. The crwd leaned in. “D yu have a pumpkin?” I asked as clearly as pssible. A mther hlding an infant explained there was n pumpkin here in English. I had t mve n t yet anther market in my search fr Hallween.
As an American English teacher in China, the urge was strng t explain my cuntry’s cultural traditins t my students. I’d had plenty f success in teaching the Chinese abut significant United States hlidays and events, Hallween being ne f them. Yet I was nw in a new teaching psitin, in a different regin f the cuntry which seems t have every kind f prduce knwn t man except the ne I wanted fr Oct.31.
I had learned that in teaching abut Hallween, there was n substitute (替代品) fr a carved pumpkin. Descriptins prduced blank stares. Drawings were misinterpreted. Pictures nly puzzled.
Sure, I culd give up shwing a real jack-’-lantern (南瓜灯) t my students. I culd lecture n the histry f this traditin, which had its rigin in ld beliefs abut the return f the spirits f dead peple. We culd have a g at wearing masks, and rle-play trick-r-treat.
But nthing culd cmpare with the pumpkin. Fr that reasn, I was willing t g thrugh just abut anything t find a pumpkin fr my students.
In anther sectin f the city, I headed t a big market. “D yu have a pumpkin?” I asked the seller I saw. “A what?” she seemed t be at a lss. Hwever, I didn’t knw hw t make her understand what I wanted.
