In conversations with strangers，people commonly tend to think they should speak less than
half the conversation time to be likable.But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong.Our data shows
that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one
conversation with someone new.However，it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better
strategy.
In our research，we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%,40%,50%,60% of the time in
a conversation with someone new.We found that the more they spoke，the more they were liked by
their new partners.This was only one study with 116 participants，but the outcome is supported by
other researchers’ findings.For example，a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to
take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener”．After engaging
in 12-minute interactions，listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because
listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners.This outcome suggests the
reason people prefer those who speak up：Learning more about a new partner can make you feel
like you have more in common with him or her.
Further，we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time.The result
shows it is not an ideal strategy.Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational
partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.
Research like ours can help people gain a more reasonable understanding of social interactions
with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression.It has the
obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time.However，it does not reflect
more natural conversations.Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to
more natural interactions.

(2024·浙江金丽衢联考)
A robot has been taught to laugh at jokes to make it more human.Researchers are using AI to
train robots about appropriate laughter，and 1. (distinguish) between chuckles and
screams.
They described 2. (work)with a robot called Erica in the hope of making a
conversation more natural.“We think that one of the most important 3. (function) of
conversational AI is sympathy，” said Dr Koji Inoue，a professor.“A conversation is，of
course，multimodal，not just responding correctly.So we decided that one way a robot can
empathize(共情) with users is to share their laughter，4. you cannot do with a text-
based chatbot.”
Creating a “5. (share) laughter” model，the researchers used AI to help detect
laughter and decide whether to laugh and what kind of laughter would be 6. (good)．
Four short dialogues between real people and Erica 7. (use) to test the system，
which performed well.
However，the experts said there is more work to do to create 8. (true) natural
laughter situations.
Dr Inoue said，“The robot should actually have 9. distinct character，and it
can show this character through its conversational behaviors，such as laughing，eye gaze，
gestures and speaking styles.It may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a
casual chat 10. a robot like we would with a friend.”
