    考研英语阅读篇章：笑容能改变他人对你的看法
    据英国《每日邮报》报道，一名身体语言专家称，即使是最微妙的笑容也能改变他人对你的看法，并能对你的事业产生影响。扬起眉毛的笑容意味着谦恭，而压低双眉的笑容则展示出更有力量的形象，咧开嘴绽放大大的笑容能够巧妙地让人们交流积极的情感，而目光上抬的笑容则显得性感娇媚。
    The eyes may be the window to the soul, but a smile can reveal more about a
person than first thought.
    A body language expert has told MailOnline the tiniest tweak(扭，拧) to a
smile can change how a person is perceived - from looking up to appear
flirtatious(轻浮的), to lowering the eyebrows to look more dominant and powerful,
for example.
    Dr Peter Collett has pinpointed six types of smiles from the genuine
'Duchenne', where the corners of the mouth are pulled up and the muscles around
the eyes contract, to the knowing, wry smile.
    While the 'raised-brow' smile suggests submission, keeping eyebrows level
can make the smile more powerful, which could prove useful when negotiating a
business deal, or in a job interview.
    'In the realm of facial expressions there's a big difference between
lowered and raised eyebrows, with the former signalling dominance and the latter
signalling submission,' Dr Collett, a psychologist from Oxford, said.
    'When someone smiles with both their eyebrows raised it shows that they
don't want to dominate the situation and they want come across as
unthreatening.'
    A full smile is called a Duchenne smile - after 19th century anatomist
Duchenne de Boulogne, who produced a ground-breaking study of the muscles
involved in facial expressions of emotion. The openness of the expression gives
the impression that someone is genuine.
    Dr Collett added that the wide open smile is a 'clever way of getting other
people to share one's positive feelings.'
    'When someone tilts their head back slightly and opens their mouth wide
they look like they are laughing rather than smiling.
    'Because laughter is so contagious(感染性的), those of us who see someone doing
this are much more likely to be affected by the display and to feel that we
share their positive emotions.'
    Meanwhile, the 'look-up' smile can be used to appear seductive and
flirtatious. 'Some people have a habit of lowering their head slightly when they
smile,' said Dr Collett.
    'Unconsciously, this gives the impression that they're shorter than they
really are and that they're looking up towards the person they're
addressing.
    'This, coupled with the suggestion of embarrassment, makes the look-up
smile especially flirtatious, which explains why it's favoured by women when
they're dealing with impressionable men.'
    Some people smile asymmetrically and when they look directly at someone,
this wry smile can appear knowing and tells someone that you're aware of
something, or that you share a secret.
    'Smiles come in all shapes and sizes - some are involuntary, others
deliberate, and they're linked to a rich vocabulary of subtle messages,'
continued Dr Collett.
    'By taking a closer look at how people smile we can gain a much better
understanding of what they're feeling, and in some cases what kind of person
they are.
    'And of course the same principle applies to your own smiles.'
    A study of 2,000 people commissioned by Wrigley's Extra White Bubblemint,
found that just over half of women think a smile is the most attractive trait in
a man that they are meeting for the first time.
    Men also place more importance on a woman's smile than her chest, bottom or
legs.
    However, 67 percent of women and 53 percent of men said that they worry
about their smiles.
    The survey, released to coincide with the launch of National Smile Month
today , revealed that there's nothing better than someone directing a genuine
smile straight at us to encourage us to return the favour.
    A total of 58 percent of people smile when they receive a compliment, 37
percent when looking at family photos and one in five when they are praised at
work.
