19、 the mouth with a hint of saltiness. It is natures gift, says Jan Erik, vice-president of the Norwegian fishermens association. Liv Eva, a 35-year-old who works for a research institute, says that when she was a girl, men and boys dominated the cod-tongue-cutting trade on Lofoten, a Norwegian island
20、. This year, she was happy to see a grandmother and granddaughter selling tongues. In other ways, however, the art of tungeskjring has hardly changed over the centuries. The delicate work of removing the tongue from an already beheaded（去头的）fish is reserved mainly for children. The practice serves as
21、 a kind of career preparation for would-be fishers, and it pays handsomely. The tongues are valuable, so an hours work can pay 1,200 kronor ($143); not bad if youre six. Modesty guides attitudes in Lofoten and other northern parts, so it wouldnt be accepted to spend the cash on something wasteful, s
22、ays Liv Eva. Youngsters tend to save up for a fishing boat, a car or a deposit on a home. Not everyone gets involved.

27、nd. But what inspires cosplayers to present 第 6 页 共 10 页 themselves with so many detailed artistic designs? Psychologists try to reveal the facts through research. When a cosplayer selects a particular costume, he/she is often getting inside a specific character-or combination of characters-because
28、something about that role speaks to them personally, according to Robin S. Rosenberg, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco. Batman, for example, can be an especially meaningful cosplay choice for someone coping with trauma （ 创 伤 ） . The dark superhero faced destruct

30、ience, and that is inspiring to them.” Rosenberg noted that Wonder Woman is another popular choice which calls up many womens feelings, partly because she holds her own in the male-dominated world of costumed comics superheroes.

So it surprised Rosenberg to discover that many cosplayers were identified as introverts. “When they wore a costume, they became much mor

She explained that, sometimes, wearing a costume allows a person to obtain confidence they didnt know they had, and helps them overcome shyness in real life. “When you do any kind of costuming-but particularly cosplay-on the one hand, it gives you permission to
33、step outside yourself,” Rosenberg said. “But on the other hand, it can bring out something in you that doesnt usually come out.” 32. What does Rosenberg try to convey in Paragraph 2? A. Cosplayers have a special liking for costumes. B. Cosplayers play different roles within one day. C. Cosplayers ha
