Scientists looking into attractiveness in men and women suggest that men from all races find fairer-skinned woman most alluring, while women are the polar opposite and favor darker, brooding men.
They said the attraction is driven by preferences based on moral assumptions. Men are subconsciously attracted to fairer-skinned icons because of the skin tone's association with innocence, purity, modesty, virginity, vulnerability and goodness. Women, on the other hand, pick men with darker complexions because these are associated with sex, virility, mystery, villainy and danger.
Academics at the University of Toronto in Canada say their study proves the fair maiden of myth has a basis in scientific reality. They studied more than 2,000 advertising photographs and found that the skin of white women was 15.2 per cent lighter than the skin of white males, and the skin of black women 11.1 per cent fighter than the skin of black men.

我不曾和她谈过一句话,也不曾仔细看过她的面貌与姿态。大约我在那时已经很是近视,但是还有一层缘故,虽然非无意识的对于她很是感到亲近,一面却似乎为她的光辉所掩,抬不起眼来去端详她了,在此刻回想起来,仿佛是一个尖面庞,乌眼睛,瘦小身材,而且有尖小的脚的少女,并没有什么殊胜的地方,但在我性的生活里总是第一个人,使我于自己以外感到对于别人的爱着,引起我没有明了的性之概念的,对于异性的恋慕的第一人了。

我常常听人说,他想读一点书,苦于没有时间。我不太同意这种说法。不管他是多么忙,他总不至于忙得一点时间都抽不出来。一天当中如果抽出一小时来读书,一年就有365小时,十年就有3650小时,积少成多,无论什么研究都会有惊人的成绩。零碎的时间最可宝贵,但也最容易丢弃。我记得陆放翁有两句诗:“呼僮不应自升火,待饭未来还读书。”这两句诗给我的印象很深。待饭未来的时候是颇难熬的,用来读书岂不甚妙?我们的时间往往于不知不觉中被荒废掉。例如,现在距开会还有50分钟,于是什么事都不做了,磨磨蹭蹭,50分钟便打发掉了。如果用这时间读几页书,岂不较为受用。

A new study uses advanced brain-scanning technology to
cast light onto a topic that psycholo- 【M1】_____
gists have puzzled over more than half a century:
social conformity. The study was based on a 【M2】_____
famous series of laboratory experiment from
the 1950's by a social psychologist, Dr. Solomon 【M3】_____
Asch. In those early studies, the subjects wereshown two cards. On the first was a vertical line. On

rectly. But Dr. Asch added a twist. Seven other people, in cahoots with the researchers, also exam-
ined the lines and gave their answers before the subjects did. And sometimes these confederates
unconsciously gave the wrong answer.
Dr. Asch was astonished at what happened next. After think- 【M6】_____
ing hard, three out of four subjects agreed with
the incorrect answers given by the confederates at 【M7】_____
least once. And one in four conformed 50 percent of the time. Dr. Asch, who died in 1996, always
wondered about the findings. Did the people who gave in to group do so knowing that their answers was right? Or did the social pressure actually change their perceptions?
The researchers found that 【M8】_____
social conformity showed up in the brain like activity in
regions-that are entirely devoted to percep- 【M9】_____
