2.One of the most successful, influential, and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: She wished she had been prettier. Who hasn’t felt the same way? We are all too awake to our physical imperfections. To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery.Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape.Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true. We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that it is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author.As children, beautiful people are more likely to become favorites with parents and teachers. Later, they’re more likely to get good jobs and promotion. Beautiful lawyers get paid more than their less attractive colleagues. Good-looking criminals are more likely to win the sympathy of judges and juries. Attractive people in need are more likely to receive help from strangers.(1)Eleanor Roosevelt’s regret shows ().A、she was one of the most successful, influential, and beloved women in American historyB、she was not prettyC、she has many regretsD、even she was pretty, she wanted to be prettier(2)“It matters” in paragraph 2 line 1 means ().A、It is a matterB、It doesn’t matterC、It is importantD、It is not important(3)According to paragraph 2 and paragraph 3, which of the following is not true?A、We learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny.B、We can be immune to beauty.C、Aristotle meant beauty is the best recommendation.D、People think a beautiful author’s essay is more creative and more intelligently written.(4)Paragraph 4 is written to show ().A、beauty is powerfulB、beautiful children are favorites with parents and teachersC、beautiful lawyers get higher pay than their homely colleaguesD、attractive people receive more help from strangers(5)The word “good -looking” in paragraph 4 line 3 may mean ().A、beautiful or handsomeB、lovelyC、carefulD、kind-hearted

  • 第5题:

    Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
    Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills ) , while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).
    Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline ( 衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.
    Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
    People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g."object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing.The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter were typically dominated by women.
    Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average.And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.

    A.women's minds perform better than men's

    The Science of Persuasion

    If leadership consists of getting things done through others,then persuasion is one of the leader's essential tools.Many executives have assumed that this tool is beyond their grasp,available only to the charismatic(有魅力的)and the eloquent. Over the past several decades , though , experimental psychologists have learned which methods reliably lead people to concede,comply,or change.Their research shows that persuasion is governed by several principles that can be taught and applied.
    The first principle is that people are more likely to follow someone who is similar to them than someone who is not.Wise managers,then,ask peers to help make their cases.
    Second,people are more willing to cooperate with those who are not only like them but who like them,as well.So it's worth the time to uncover real similarities and offer genuine praise.
    Third,experiments confirm the intuitive truth that people tend to treat you the way you treat
    them.It's a sound policy to do a favor before seeking one.Fourth,individuals are more likely to keep promises they make voluntarily and clearly.The message for managers here is to get commitments in writing. Fifth,studies show that people really do defer to(服从)experts.So before they attempt to exert influence,executives should take pains to establish their own expertise and not assume that it's self-evident. Finally,people want more of a commodity when it's scarce;it follows,then, that exclusive information is more persuasive than widely available data.

    People are more likely to cooperate with those who like them.

    【录音原文】
      W: In the studio today, we had Jonas Day, who’s just won an award for student journalism with an article about Madonna for his college newspaper. Jonas, welcome! I believe Madonna herself ring to congratulate you.
      M: It’s true that I had a letter from her PR Company, but I didn’t speak to her myself.
      W: So let’s start the beginning. She was born in Detroit in 1958. Is that right?
      M: Actually, at a place called Rochester.
      W: All right, OK. Tell us how her career took off.
      M: Well, of course the thing most people don’t associate with Madonna is the fact that she is chief executive of a large company called Maverick Entertainment which is a multi-million dollar company and dares her more than her records and films.
      W: Yes, her image is certainly different, isn’t it? She’s had a lot of bad publicity about her private life, hasn’t she?
      M: She said at the time that what they said in the newspapers took her by surprise. She believed her life to be totally under control. Everything she had ever done has been carefully planned. You know, in order to get a record contract when she came to New York, she went to clubs where she knew record producers went. She even managed to get an appointment with the head of Sier Records when he was in hospital. He reckoned she was a very determined lady.
      W: I heard a similar story about how she got a manager. Apparently she asked herself who managed the biggest actor in the world. And of course that was Michael Jackson’s manager. And she decided she wanted him to manage her too. She just walked into his office and told him.

    解析:
    录音中最后一句提到“Internet users are more likely than non-users to receive help from network members.”(网络用户比非网络用户更有可能获得来自网络成员的帮助),由此可知如果你使用网络,你更有可能得到网络成员的帮助,所以选C。
    【录音原文】
      As the size of a person’s social network increases, it becomes more difficult for people to contact a large percentage of network members. The percentage of one’s social network contacted declines as network size grows. This pattern holds true for almost all forms of contact analyzed in the Social Ties survey. The one exception is email.
      As the size of people’s social network increases, the percentage of one’s social network contacted weekly by email does not decline, but remains about the same at about 20% of their ties. Several qualities of email help explain this finding. Email enables people to maintain more relationships easily because it is convenient as a communication tool and it gives the control in managing communication. The nature of email is such that people could carry on conversations at different times and at their leisure. This makes it possible for a quick note to an associate, whether it is about important news or seeking advice on an important decision. Moreover, it is almost as easy to email a message to many people as it is to email to only one...
      Contrary to fears that email would reduce other forms of contact, there is “media multiplexity”: that is, the more contact by email, the more in-person and phone contact. Therefore, Americans are probably more in contact with members of their communities and social networks than before the advent of the Internet. And Internet users are more likely than non-users to receive help from network members.
