Angry men appear to gain influence in a group, but angry women lose influence, according to a

new study. Researchers from Arizona State University (ASU) published their findings in the journal Law and Human Behavior. Jessica Salerno is a psychologist and was co-author of the study. The findings suggest that “women might not have the same opportunity for influence when they express anger”.

The study found that when men expressed their opinion with anger, participants rated them as

more believable. But when women expressed anger, they were viewed as more emotional and, thus, less convincing. In other words, a man could benefit from using anger in power and persuasion. A woman, however, could be ignored or hurt by her group if she expressed anger.

The study was based on the responses of 210 students. They were shown evidence and photographs

online from a real murder trial. A man was said to have murdered his wife. The students were asked to decide if the man was guilty or not.

Before making their decision, the students discussed the case online with five jurors (陪审员). But

these were not real jurors: They were computers making responses and comments back to the students. Some of the fake jurors had male identities. Others had female identities.

Some male jurors were angry about the judgment. When this happened, the students reacted by

doubting their own decisions about the case. Confidence in their responses on the judgment “dropped obviously,” said the study. But when female jurors seemed angry, the student participants “became obviously more confident in their original judgments,” the study found.

The study could have wider importance. “Our results have implications for any woman who is

trying to have influence on a decision in their workplace and everyday lives,” said Salerno. She added that in a political debate, a female candidate might have less influence if she shows anger.

1. The underlined word “rated” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________.”
   A. ignored B. imagined C. regarded D. concerned
2. How did the students react to the female jurors’ anger with their judgments?

2. What can be a suitable title for the text?

2. Women, be Careful Not to Turn Angry Easily
3. Angry Men Win Influence While Angry Women Lose
4. Angry Women Are Not Fit for Leaders While Men Are C

One man who sold tickets on the train from 1959 to 1965 Clive Codrington, pointed out that the

tracks which passed through Knolly’s Tunnel and the area of Tabaquite were not originally intended for passenger trains. “They were really used for the transport of cocoa and coffee,” he said．

Construction on Knolly’s Tunnel began in 1896, and it was opened on August 13th, 1898 by the

man it was named after--Sir Clement C．Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knolly’s Tunnel has stood up to the earth’s movement over so many years. Much research is being done on the tunnel.At the top of Knolly’s Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knolly’s Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside．

On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knolly’s Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly’s Tunnel.

On the drive to Knolly’s Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy

nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are also close by．

For those who admire architecture, Knolly’s Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the

nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knolly’s Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled on its structure. So when you visit

Trinidad, don’t forget to take a look at Knolly’s Tunnel!

1. Knolly’s Tunnel is special in __________．
   A. its environment B. its function C. its location D. its architecture
2. If you are visiting Knolly’s Tunnel, you can__________．
   A. take a train tour through it B. buy some snacks in it
   C. drive through it D. walk along the track through it
3. The underlined word “site” in the paragraph 5 refers to_____．

A. Trinidad B. Tabaquite C. Mitchell Gap D. Knolly’s Tunnel

11. What is the purpose of the passage?

1. To suggest a visit to Knolly’s Tunnel．
2. To introduce the history of Knolly’s Tunnel．
3. To evaluate the value of Knolly’s Tunnel．
4. To witness the change of Knolly’s Tunnel D

It’s not an urban legend: crime rates do rise in fact in the summer in the U.S. A study found that,

with the exception of robbery and auto theft, rates of all violent and property crimes are higher during the summer than during other months. The study examined data collected during 8 years, which included violent and property crimes that did not result in death, both reported and not reported to the police.

The data show that, though the national crime rate dropped by 70 percent during recent years,

seasonal explosions in summer remain. In some cases those explosions are 12 percent higher than rates during seasons in which the lows occur. The phenomenon confuses many criminologists, and they wonder why.

Some reason that increased temperatures, which drive many out of doors and leave windows open

in their homes, raise the amount of time when homes are left empty. Others point to the effect of students on summer vacation who are otherwise occupied with schooling during other seasons, while

some argue that suffering heat-induced (热诱导的) discomfort simply makes people more aggressive

and likely to act out.

Although these elements possess certain persuasive power, their rationality (合理性) is called into question when cases in winter are put on the map. Why aren’t the rates in winter falling if heat related factors are to blame for the summer explosion? Contrarily, the matter should be viewed from social and economic angles rather than on solar terms.

Numerous studies have shown that rates of criminal behavior among young adults drop when their

communities provide them with other ways to spend their time and earn money. This was found to be true in Los Angeles, where gang activity was reduced when community centers for teens were thriving

大庆实验中学得分训练（二）英语 第 2 页 共 4 页

and active. And generally speaking, the connection between economic inequality and crime is surely documented for the U.S. And why summer sees a worse situation? It’s probably because it’s even harder for youngster to land jobs that provide for life necessities.

So if officials want to address the summer explosion in crime, they may act differently instead of

aiming straight at crimes. Simply upgrading security and severely punishing offences almost produce useless effects. Instead, be open to various options and they will find that development of job hunting agencies or community professional training centers are accompanying the drop of crime rate without seasonal exceptions . After all, bread always comes first for everyone.

1. What puzzles scholars studying crimes?

1. The rates of robbery and auto theft are lower than other violent and property crimes in summer.
2. The rates of crimes resulting in death are about the same in all seasons.
3. The crime rates not reported to the police are much higher during summer.
4. Crime rates in summer are higher than those of other seasons.

1. What can be done to fight seasonal rise of crimes?

1. Lengthen the school time to hold students in school during summer.
2. Enhance the safety mechanism during the summer.
3. Take measures to encourage youth employment.
4. Frighten would-be criminals through harsh punishments.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

1. Solar terms are responsible for the summer crime spike.
2. Crime rates in summer fall by 58 percent in the U.S.
3. LA criminal activities fall because of positive community programs.
4. The crimes rates in winter are low due to low mobility in the season.

1. According to the author, what is the key reason for the seasonal spike of crime rates?

1. Increased temperature left houses easier for attacks.
2. The hot environment makes people more likely to be angered.
3. Youngsters find it hard to release energies at school.
4. People’s economic needs are not satisfied by the society.

Recognizing the differences between active and passive reading is important for readers of all ages.

Whether you read actively or passively 21 how deeply you engage with the 22 you are

reading. The difference between passive and active reading is like the difference between hearing and

listening. When it comes to hearing, you 23 receive sensory information. When you listen, you

24 what you hear, question it and form conclusions about it. When you read passively, you don’t

25 question or analyze the information. When you read actively, 26 , you engage in a dialogue

with the information 27 use it to gain a new understanding of the subject.

If you are studying for a test or preparing to write a paper, you would tend to read actively 28

you need to think about the material so you can understand it in a 29 way. However, if you are

sitting in a waiting room and reading a magazine simply to 30 the time, you may not 31

much about the information in the text, and therefore read passively.

Active reading often involves 32. For example, if you are preparing for an exam you might use

a highlighter (荧光笔) to 33 specific passages, or keep a pen with you while you read so you can

大庆实验中学得分训练（二）英语 第 3 页 共 4 页

make 34 about important information. Practices such as skimming and scanning are also active

reading practices, and 35 when you are trying to locate a specific bit of information in a text, or

trying to understand the 36 idea of a passage in the least amount of time.

Finally, whether you read actively or passively will 37 in your comprehension level, and

possibly 38 your enjoyment of reading. If you read passively, you will not be able to 39 your

understanding of the subject as well as if you had read actively. Also, reading 40 can negatively

affect your level of reading enjoyment.

One of the most difficult but rewarding of pastimes is mountain climbing. The modern climber

One of my teachers in my high school was an Australia teacher. Always smartly dressing, he was

very kind. Once I needed a story book, what was not available in China, so I asked him for help. He had

bought one for me in Australia and sent it to me immediate. There is also another thing about him I can never forgot. Last year, he came back to China on business trip and was asked by many Chinese parents to take some baggages to their children studying in Australia. Since many heavy things were contained, he said yes happily. I have come to realize from this thing how selfless love is all about.
