In your opinion, who looks the most: a) reliable? b) hard-working? c) outgoing? 2 IN YOUR First impressions are very important. We all know that it's wrong to judge by appearances, but we all do it. In fact, when we see an unfamiliar face, it only takes a tenth of a 5 second to make a judgement about that person's character ~ honest or dishonest, competent or incompetent, and so on. And these judgements have real consequenc politicians with ‘competent faces’ win more 10 elections. But are people with ‘competent faces’ really more competent, or is this just an illusion?

Is it really possible to say anything about someone's personality by looking at their face? 3 Read the text again. Answer the questions. 1 How long does it take us to form a judgement based on 4 person’s appearance? Why is it important for a politician to look competent? What was the main aim of Cesare Lombroso’s research? At which two Scottish universities did the recent research take place? The results of the Scottish research showed a connection between appearance and which two aspects of personality? to discover the physical signs of a criminal character. He wanted to find a way of detecting criminals just by looking at them! This kind of science became very unfashionable jn the twentieth century, and nobody talked about connections between appearance and personality But now, scientists are beginning to look at these theories again. Recent studies at two Scottish universities ~ Stirling and St Andrews ~ have produced interesting results. According to these studies, itis possible to look at a person's face and guess how outgoing the person is and how hard-working. Other studies have confirmed these results, but nobody knows why these connections exist. Older people have stronger connections between their face and their personality, and ‘the reason for this is simple. A grumpy person frowns a lot more than a cheerful person. Over the years, this repetition causes a permanent difference in their faces. In the end, we all get the face we deserve. So keep smiling! Pe aL Did you know? Most muscles ‘in your body are attached to your bones and allow you to move your arms, legs, fingers, etc. But the muscles in your face are attached to your skin.

Which is the earliest case of ‘dancing plague’ mentioned? © ' Dance of death society since history began. We think of it as a hobby, a form of exercise, 4 a profession, an art form, or just an enjoyable 5 activity. We dom often think of it as a disease. But in a French town in the sixteenth century, dancing “infected” a large number of people, and for most of them, it was not just harmful ~ it was fatal It began with one woman ~ Frau Troffea 1 who started to dance uncontrollably one day in July 1518 in the streets in Strasbourg, As she continued dancing, others joined her. After a week, there were thirty-four dancers. After a month, there were more than 400. Local doctors, 1s and politicians called it a “dancing plague’ and decided that there was only one cure: they had to allow the people to dance day and night. So they provided a large hall and paid musicians to perform! But this didn’t cure them: most of the on dancers eventually died from heart attack, stroke or exhaustion. This was not the first case of its kind. In the fourteenth century, a similar epidemic began in Aachen, Germany. The inhabitants of the town 4 s 25 danced wildly through the streets until they fell to the floor, exhausted. On the floor, they continued to move and twist. The epidemic quickly spread through Europe. It seemed possible to catch it just by seeing others dance, j 30 What could cause this kind of illness? To this day, experts cannot agree. Some have blamed a poisonous fungus in bread. Others insist that it was purely psychological — a form of mass hysteria. Whatever the true cause, they were ss probably the strangest epidemics in history. Unit 3: Reading Workbook: More practice p24 2. Read the text again. Choose the correct options. 1 In the Strasbourg epidemic, Frau Troffea was the first person to: a) use the name ‘dancing plague’ b) start dancing uncontrollably. ©) die from dancing. d) find a cure for the epidemic. 2 Local politicians paid musicians to play because: a) they knew it would make them more popular. b) they didn’t realise that it was a disease. ©) they believed that more dancing would cure the victims. d) they wanted all the victims to dance in one place. 3. The result of this action by the politicians was that: a) most of the dancers died. b) about half of the dancers were fine. ©) even more people started dancing. d) the dancing continued for much longer. 4 During the epidemic in Aachen, people seemed to catch the disease when they a) ate a particular kind of bread. b) heard musicians playing. ©) were already feeling very tired. d) saw somebody else dancing. 5 According to modern experts, the cause of ‘dancing plague’: a) is poison. ¢) is psychological. b) is not certain. d) is a virus. Cz» Did you know? The most famous epidemic to affect Europe is the Black Death (bubonic plague). Fleas on rats carried the disease all over Europe from the 14** to the 17" century, and millions died. Today, bubonic plague is quite easy to cure with antibiotics.Words that are nouns and verbs 1 Read the Language help box. Is it common for a word to be a noun and a verb in your language?
