12.High School English Listening

The size of our pupils can give clues to our interest,emotions,attitudes, and thought processes.
If you've seen a magician tell which card someone picked from a deck, you've probably been amazed.
Well, the pupils often open up when the magician picks the right card, so one of the tricks they use is to look at the person's eyes.
The pupils tend to close in response to unpleasantness, and open in response to pleasure.
For example, for those who find snakes loathsome, a picture of one will cause their pupils to close.
For someone who likes snakes, the same picture will cause the pupils to open.
The same thing happens to people with strong political preferences.
A conservative's pupils will close when shown a picture of a liberal.
The liberal has the same reaction when shown a picture of a conservative.
Their pupils open when looking at a picture of someone of their own persuasion.
译文：
我们的瞳孔大小可以为我们的兴趣、情绪、态度和思维过程提供线索。
如果你见过魔术师从一副牌中选出哪张牌，你可能会感到惊奇。
那么，当魔术师选出正确的牌时，瞳孔往往会张开，所以他们使用的技巧之一就是看对方的眼睛。
瞳孔往往在对不愉快的事情做出反应时关闭，而在对快乐做出反应时打开。
例如，对于那些觉得蛇令人厌恶的人来说，一张蛇的照片会使他们的瞳孔关闭。
对于喜欢蛇的人来说，同样的图片会使他们的瞳孔打开。
同样的事情也发生在有强烈政治倾向的人身上。
一个保守派的人在看到自由派的照片时，瞳孔会闭合。
自由派在看到保守派的照片时也有同样的反应。
他们的瞳孔在看到他们自己信仰的人的照片时，会打开。
