22、We tend to use more emotional language to enhance our powers of persuasion, according to research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The research shows that people tend toward appeals that aren’t simply more positive or negative but are filled with emotionality, even when they’re trying to persuade an audience that may not be receptive to such language.

Understanding the components that make for a persuasive message is a critical focus of fields ranging from advertising to politics and even public health. The researchers wanted to look at the question from a different angle, exploring how we communicate with others when we are the ones trying to persuade.

In one online study, the researchers showed 1,285 participants a photo and some relevant details for a particular product available from Amazon.com. They asked some participants to write a five-star review that would persuade readers to purchase that product, while they asked others to write a five-star review that simply described the product’s positive features. The findings showed that although the reviews were equally positive in their language, the data showed that reviewers used more emotional language when they were trying to persuade readers to buy a product compared with when they were writing a five-star review without intending to persuade. Importantly, the shift toward more emotional language appeared to be automatic rather than deliberative.

The tendency to use more emotional language emerged even when participants were attempting to persuade a group of “rational” thinkers. “Past research indicates that emotional appeals can backfire when an audience prefers unemotional appeals,” the researchers say. “Our findings indicate that there is such a strong enough connection between persuasion and emotion in people’s minds that they continue to use emotion even in the face of an audience where that approach can have an unintended result.”

An interesting avenue for future research, the researchers say, is to investigate whether the association transfers across various contexts. “For instance, would people use less emotion if they were in a boardroom meeting or if they were writing a formal letter of recommendation?” the researchers wonder.

【1】What is the study mainly about?

A.The influence of positive words.

B.The connection between emotion and persuasion.

C.The significance of understanding persuasion.

D.The power of emotional language.

【2】What did the online study find in paragraph 3?

A.More positive language was used for persuasion.

B.Emotional language was naturally used to persuade readers.

C.Less emotional language was used to persuade readers.

D.Both of the reviews were objective in their language.

【3】What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph 4?

A.Damage the reputation.

B.Produce the desired result.

C.Attract more attention.

D.Have the opposite effect.

【4】What does the last paragraph indicate?

A.More research will be carried out in a boardroom meeting.

B.The researchers are not satisfied with the current avenue.

C.Future research will be done in various contexts.

D.A formal letter of recommendation should use less emotion.

23、C

Texting pedestrians arena' t just an annoyance to their fellow walkers, but something dangerous to themselves.

“1 was checking emails while walking to work this morning," said Wilbert van den Hoorn.“But it has a serious influence on the safety of people who type or read text while walking."

Anecdotes back him up.A tourist from Taiwan walked off a port near Melbourne last month while checking Face book-bringing an abrupt, and icy end to a penguin- watching visit. Another shopper in the U.S. was too addicted to his mobile phone to notice the fountain ahead! walking straight into it.

And as mobile-phone use has grown-to about 77% of the world's population, the study says-so has the number of phone-related accidents.The number of U.S.emergency-room visits linked to phone use on the move doubled to as many as l,500 between 2005 and 2010, an Ohio State University study recently showed.

Authorities world-wide have taken note.Signs on Hong Kong's subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones.Police and transport authorities have also warned the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper ranked it as No.2 Bad Habit"' due to the rising number of road deaths.Some U.S.states, including New York and Arkansas, are even considering bans on this act.

The Australian study used 26 volunteers, a third of whom admitted having hit objects while texting.They were fitted with different equipment in different parts of their body, and asked to walk 8.5 meters three times-once without a phone, once while reading a text and once while writing a text-while eight cameras captured the action.

Volunteers using the phone walked slower and with shorter steps (and slowest of all when typing), and! more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in-like “robots", in the researchers' words.That forced their heads to move more, throwing them off balance.

In a pedestrian environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for hits, falls and traffic accidents," said Mr.van den Hoorn.The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone."

1Which of the following about” Texting pedestrians" is WRONG?

A.People who type while walking.

B.People who phone while walking.

C.People who text while walking.

D.People who read text message while walking.

2The writer uses the two examples in Paragraph 3 to show

A.the advantages of mobile phones

B.the use of mobile phones in water

C.the use of mobile phones in a wrong way

D.the popularity of mobile phones

3What is New York and Arkansas' attitude to texting pedestrians?

A.Considering forbidding their acts.

B.Ranking it as” No.l Bad Habit".

C.Setting up signs to warn them.

D.Equipping them with advanced machines.

4Why are texting pedestrians likely to hit or fall according to the passage?

A.They walk too fast.

B.They lock their arms and elbows.

C.They are out of balance.

D.They walk with longer steps.

5What is the best title for the passage?

A.Text message or e-mail only?

B.Ways to avoid falls

C.Mobile phones for entertainment

D.Safety or text message?

 

24、Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.

Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.

Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

【1】According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author

A. discussed his decision with his family.

B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work

C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks

D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends

【2】In his application for the volunteer job, the author

A. participated in many discussions

B. went through some interviews and presentations

C. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary work

D. faced strong competition from other candidates

【3】On arrival at the village, the author was

A. asked to lead a farming team

B. sent to teach in a schoolhouse

C. received warmly by local villagers

D. arranged to live in a separate house.
