三、阅读理解
20. You had me at “Hello”! It turns out our opening words speak volumes—people take less than a second to form an impression of someone’s personality based on their voice alone.
We know that our voices can convey information about our sex, age, even body strength and certain personality characteristics, but Phil McAleer at the University of Glasgow and his colleagues wondered whether we make an instant impression. To find out, they recorded 64 volunteers as they read a passage. They then picked the word “hello” and asked 320 listeners to mark the voices for personality characteristics—including trust, dominance and attractiveness.
Although it’s not clear how accura te such immediate judgements are, what is obvious is that we all make them, and very quickly. “We were surprised by just how similar people’s marks were,” says McAleer.
It makes sense that decisions about personality should happen really fast, says McAleer.
The impression that our voices convey appears to be related to several factors, such as sex differences and age groups, especially the pitch (音高) of voice on the top. For example, the pitch of a person’s voice influenced how reliable they seemed. “A guy who raises his pitch becomes more trustworthy,” says McAleer. “Whereas a girl who changes from a high to a low pitch is seen as more trustworthy than a girl whose voice goes up at the end of the word.”
It is possible to change some of these aspects of your voice, he says. “It has been said that Margaret Thatcher and the Queen were both trained to make their voices appear more dominant.” Some aspects, though, can’t be changeable.
“The methods used in this paper are familiar, but the conclusions are new and very interesting,” says Jody Kreiman, a researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles. The way the study links personality to attractiveness and reproductive fitness makes sense biologically, she says.
The team hope that their work can be used to help create artificial voices for people who have lost their own due to a medical condition, as well as creating lovely and charming voices for satnavs (导航仪), and other robotics. “You might also use this kind of work to find the right person to front a team,” says McAleer, “you don’t want a really unreliable voice running your call centre.”

A.how to change some aspects of voice
B.whether people can make an instant impression by voice
C.what role “hello” plays in communication

B.the impressions the 64 volunteers left on the 320 listeners were the same
C.the 320 listeners marked the personalities of the 64 volunteers quickly
D.the 320 listeners marked the personalities after a very long time
52.The impression that voices convey is affected most by .
A.body strength
B.sex differences
C.age groups
D.pitch of voice
53.What is the purpose of the author writing the last paragraph?
A.To show the practical applications of the study on voice.
B.To tell us the real results of the study on voice.
C.To suggest the important role voice plays in education.
D.To predict the medical future of voice.
54.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The first impression of one’s personality is formed by his voice.
B.People can change someone’s personality by their pitch.
C.A guy’s pitch convey is different from a girl’s.

21. The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.
But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.
Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.
One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”
That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important
task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.
