Suddenly, he 38 the car and decided to give the family a hand. My father asked them 39 they were waiting for the bus and the man said yes. They were going to Birmingham, where he had a brother and hoped to find a job.“Well, that bus isn’t going to come along for several hours.” My father said, “You can get in the car and I’ll 40 you up to Winborn Station where you’ve got a shed（小棚）with a cover.”The whole family climbed into the car.

It is the idea that general evaluations(评价) about a person (e.g. she is likeable) influence judgments about their specific traits(品质)(e.g. she is intelligent). Hollywood stars give the perfect example. Because they are often attractive and likeable, we naturally consider they are also intelligent, friendly and so on. That is, sometimes, not true.In the 1970s, well-known social psychologist Richard Nisbett set out to prove the fact that we actually pay little attention to our thought processes in general, especially to the halo effect.Nisbett wanted to examine the way students made judgments about teachers. They had been divided into two groups to watch two different videos of the same teacher, who happened to have a strong Indian accent. One group watched the teacher answer a series of questions in an extremely warm and friendly manner. The second group saw exactly the same person answer exactly the same questions in a cold and distant manner. In one the teacher appeared to like teaching and students, and in the other he came across as someone powerful who didn’t like teaching at all.After each group of students watched the videos they were asked to evaluate the teacher on physical appearance, mannerisms and even his accent (mannerisms were kept the same across both videos). The same as the hale effect infers, students who saw the “warm”one evaluated him more attractive, his mannerisms more likeable and even his accent as more pleasing. This was unsurprising as it backed up the idea s on the halo effect. At the same time, for those who had seen the other video, the result was just the wrong way around.The surprise is that students had no clue why they gave one teacher higher evaluations. Most said that how much they liked the teacher had not influenced their evaluation of his individual traits at all.The halo effect is fascinating and now well-known in the business world. For example, books that have “Harvard Classics”written on the front can ask twice the price of the exact same book without it. The same is true in the fashion industry.So the next time you consider buying a pair of designer jeans or decide whether you like someone, ask yourself whether the halo effect is operating. Are you really evaluating the traits of the person? This simple check could save you wasting your money or refusing a royal friend. Or perhaps, even if you do check, you’ll still never know.56. Why does the author mention Hollywood stars in the first paragraph?A. To help us to evaluate others.B. To explain what the halo effect isC. To show us the background of the storyD. To tell us Hollywood stars are not truly friendly57. Which one do you think is NOT an example of the halo effect?A. You make friends with the people who have good judgmentsB. You prefer to buy the products advertised by a movie starC. You pay more for a simple T-shirt with a famous designer’s name on it.D. You believe your teachers are intelligent because they appear likeable58. What can we learn from the passage?A. People can do nothing to avoid the halo effectB. People use the halo effect widely in the business worldC. People often wonder how the halo effect works before shoppingD. People sometimes don’t realize the halo effect when they make judgments59. The passage is mainly about ________A. the cause of the halo effectB. the development of the halo effectC. the evaluation of the halo effectD. the influence of the halo effect阅读短文还原句子Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is.56 .This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid—all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache.However, there are different kinds of stress. 57 . Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech.58 .For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you.59 .The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. 60 . If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.A. And it can actually make you sickB. Some kinds of stress are good and others are badC. This kind of stress can help you to get things better doneD. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about somethingE. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, and Food阅读与表达Do you ever think about how many tissues（纸巾）you use during the winter months? Greenpeace, an environmental group, hopes you’ll start. They recently started a campaign （运动）called “Shop Smart, Save Forests.”The goal of the campaign is to ask people to give up soft tissues. “Recycled tissues do the job,” says a Greenpeace activist（积极分子）. “Soft tissues are luxury（奢侈的）and more expensive than recycled tissues.”At the same time, the paper industry continues to encourage people to buy the luxury tissues. Their advertising highlights the softness of these products. A manager at the Kimberly-Clark company says many buyers want very soft tissues and recycled paper just can’t achieve it. For these buyers, the company offers the high-priced “Kleenex” brand, made of non-recycled paper. For its other less expensive brands, the company does use recycled paper.Not good enough, insists Greenpeace. They explain that Kimberly-Clark and its competitors should give up luxury paper. They are destroying many old forests. “How many trees have to be destroye d so people can blow their noses?” asks a Greenpeace activist.Greenpeace has talked to people on the streets in some of America’s big cities, including San Francisco, New York, and Washington. It has asked people to compare the two kinds of tissues and see if they can tell the difference. The result is that most people can tell the difference, but they say the difference is small. And most say they’d be willing to change to the recycled tissues to help save the environment.As part of their campaign, Greenpeace has also asked people to write to paper companies and ask them to use recycled paper for their whole product line. Kimberly-Clark reports receiving tens of thousands of emails and letters. Hopefully, this will make them give up the non-recycled paper.65.
