If you wear glasses, chances are you are smarter. Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.

The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16 and 102. The study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better health.

It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other. And it’s worth noting that what constitutes intelligence is subjective and can be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.

Forget genes though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hard-working and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance. He said sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren't found guilty.

Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip (时髦的). However, that hasn’t stopped many celebrities from happily wearing glasses even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one high-profile fan of fashion glasses.

4. What does the new study show?

A. People wearing glasses are smarter.

B. People wearing glasses are healthier.

C. Wearing glasses can make people cleverer

D. Wearing glasses is associated with higher IQ.

4.【答案】D

【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found — people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.”可知，智商高的人戴眼镜的可能性高30%，可知戴眼镜与高智商有关，A选项过于绝对，并不是戴眼镜的人就是聪明的，故选D。

5. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Shift B. Link

C. Proof D. Consequence

5.【答案】B

【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation.”可知，重要的是记住这些联系并不是真正的原因。再根据下一句的表述“Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other.”可看出，他们之间具有关联性，但是并不是其一引发其二。由此推断出，correlation意为“相关”。shift意为“转变”;link意为“关联”;proof意为“证据”;consequence意为“结果”。故选B。

6. Why do some lawyers ask their clients to wear glasses in court?

A. Because it can create a moral image.

B. Because it can mislead the witnesses

C. Because it can highlight clients' qualities.

D. Because it can prove the clients’ innocence.

6.【答案】A

【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段第六句和第七句“Glasses soften their appearance.”“Sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren’t found guilty.”可知，戴眼镜会柔化被告的形象。有时候有大量的证据表明他为之辩护的人违反了法律。他让他们戴眼镜而且他们不会被发现有罪。可推知一些律师让他们的当事人在法庭上戴眼镜是因为眼镜可以创造一个道德形象。故选A。

7. What is the general attitude to those who wear glasses for fashion?

A. Positive B. Negative

C. Mixed D. Indifferent

7.【答案】C

【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句“People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, thought. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip”可知，不需要眼镜的人有时戴眼镜只是为了时尚。他们想要看起来世俗或酷，但并不是所有人都被这个想法所打动。有人觉得戴眼镜会显得很聪明，但是GQ杂志则认为为了聪明时髦而戴眼镜是用力过猛的表现，可知答案选C。故选C。
