26、There have been few positives during the Covid pandemic (流行病) but British academics may have spotted one: People look more attractive in protective masks (口罩).

Dr Michael Lewis, an expert in faces, said research before the pandemic had found that medical face masks reduced attractiveness because they were related to illness.

“We wanted to test whether this had changed since face coverings became popular.” he said. “Our study suggests faces are considered most attractive when covered by medical face masks. This may be because we’re used to healthcare workers wearing blue masks and now we associate these with people in caring or medical professions.”

The first part of the research was carried out in February 2021 by which time the British population had become used to wearing masks in some places. Forty-three women were asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 — the attractiveness of images of male faces without a mask, wearing a plain cloth mask, a blue medical face mask, and holding a plain black book covering the area a face mask would hide.

The participants said those wearing a cloth mask were much more attractive than the ones with no masks or whose faces were partly covered by the book. But the surgical (外科的) mask made the wearer look even better. Lewis said it was also possible that masks made people more attractive because they directed attention to the eyes. He said other studies had found that covering the left or right half of a face also made people look more attractive, partly because the brain fills in the missing gaps and beautify the overall effect.

The results of the first study has been published in the journal Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications. A second study has been carried out, in which a group of men look at women in masks; it has yet to be published but Lewis said the results were probably the same.

【1】Why were protective masks not welcome before the pandemic?

C．Because only doctors had the right to wear them.

D．Because some wearers couldn’t take a smooth breath.

【2】Who looked more attractive according to the participants?

B．Men need to wear masks.

C．Find ways to become charming.

D．Face masks make you attractive.

【4】Where is the text probably from?
