Revised Answer (140 words):

The passage introduces the concept of subliminal perception, which is the perception of stimuli beyond our conscious awareness, such as an image too fast for our eyes to see or a sound too faint for our ears to hear. The lecturer then provides an example of an experiment where participants watch TV, and an image is flashed so quickly that it is barely noticeable. The image features a boy with a birthday cake. One group saw an image of the boy angrily throwing the cake on the floor, while the other group saw him happily holding it. Next, both groups were shown a third image of the boy with a neutral expression, and they were asked to describe his personality. The group that saw the angry boy described him negatively, while the group that saw the happy boy described him positively.

Original: In the professor's example, there were two girls, In the professor's example, there were two groups, (原文中提到的是两组人，而不是两个女孩) and they were asked to say a picture, and they were asked to view a picture, (使用“view”替换“say”，使句子更自然) and the picture flashed quickly on the screen. And the picture described a boy with a birthday cake. And the first group saw the boy who looked very angry, and the second group saw the boy with a big smile. And after that, they were asked to say a third picture, where the boy held a cake, and there was no emotion on his face. And after that, they were asked to describe the personality of the boy, and the first group who saw the angry boy described the boy negatively, while the second group described the boy positively.

Revised (140 words): Subliminal perception is when we perceive stimuli just below our conscious awareness threshold. In the professor's experiment, two groups of participants were asked to view an image that flashed quickly on a screen. The image depicted a boy with a birthday cake, showing anger in one version and happiness in another. Afterward, participants viewed a third image of the same boy holding a cake with a neutral expression. They were then asked to describe his personality. Those who had seen the angry version perceived him negatively, while those who had seen the happy version perceived him positively. This experiment demonstrates how subliminally perceived stimuli can influence our thoughts and attitudes, even when we are not consciously aware of them.

修订版（140词）：

Subliminal perception occurs when we are aware of stimuli just below our conscious level. The information stimulates our brain, and we may potentially notice it. In the lecture, the professor describes an experiment in which people are divided into two groups. Each group is shown a briefly flashed picture of a boy with a birthday cake. One group sees an angry boy, while the other sees a happy boy. When they are shown a second picture, which remains on the screen for a longer period, and the boy has a neutral expression with the birthday cake, the groups exhibit different responses, either negative or positive. These responses reveal that the participants were influenced by their initial subliminal exposure to the boy's emotion in the first picture. This experiment demonstrates the concept of subliminal perception and its impact on people's thoughts and attitudes.
