If you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception (认知) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.
The study, which was led by Gary W.Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers.In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.
After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual' s becoming a friend and a dating partner.Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive (认知的) processes modify (修改) judgments of attractiveness.
"Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind," said Lewandowski.
The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive.The findings remained consistent regardless of how "attractive" the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants' current relationship status.
"This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people's impressions of how good-looking you are," said Lewandowski.
小题1:In the study the participants were required to _____.
A.try to make friends with each other
B.try to prove positive characters make people more attractive
C.exhibit negative characters such as unfairness and rudeness
D.rate one's attractiveness by photos before and after knowing her or his personality
小题2:What's the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness?
a.find a person with a positive personality
b.view the person more physically attractive
c.want to make friends with the person
d.want to be his/ her romantic partner
A.a→c→d→bB.d→c→b→aC.c→b→a→dD.a→d→c→b
小题3:Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A.The research reminds people to pay more attention to the personality.
B.Personality can change people's impressions of one's appearance.
C.The judgment of one's attractiveness always stays unchanged.
D.Positive personality may lead to more friends.
小题4:The passage is written in a(n) _____ tone.
A.subjectiveB.objectiveC.scepticalD.negative
小题5:Who are the intended readers of this passage?

We might like to think we're not influenced by other people, but a new study into the group-buying mechanisms(机制) - like those used on coupon(优惠券) sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial - reveals that telling buyers who come later to the offer how many have already signed up increases the number of purchasers.
Researchers at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management wanted to understand why group buying sites that have entered the market recently have enjoyed greater success than those operating a decade ago, such as Mercata and MobShop.
Earlier attempts typically left potential buyers waiting for days before confirming whether or not they had got the offer they had signed up for.
“We think one of the reasons group-buying has been successful recently is because of the short time horizon,” says Rotman Professor Ming Hu, who co-wrote the study with Professor Mengze Shi and PhD student Jiahua Wu. “It allows for a herding effect.”
Another reason is the use of an information structure that discloses to later arrivals how many have already signed onto the deal.
Researchers looked at two ways of designing the purchasing mechanism for a group buy:a simultaneous mechanism, where no one knows how many buyers have come before them, and asequential(连续的) mechanism, where a second group of buyers has the advantage of knowing the size of the first group.
The researchers' analytical(分析的) model shows the most successful mechanism is the sequential one because it eliminates uncertainty for those coming later to the deal, and improves the confidence of those who sign on early, as they're able to track the numbers of those who come after them.
“That boosts confidence,” says Professor Hu, who teaches operations management. Deals for "luxury" services, versus everyday items, work better in a group buy scenario(方案) because they offer consumers a greater benefit.
小题1:It can be learned from the text that ______.
A.the short time horizon is the reason why group-buying has been successful.
B.a simultaneous mechanism is where a group of buyers has the advantage of knowing how many people have signed up.
C.a sequential mechanism allows a herding effect which boosts the confidence of the buyers.
D.researchers at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management carried out an experiment about why group buying sites entered the market successfully, such as Mercata and MobShop.
小题2:The underlined word “eliminates” in paragraph 7 probably means“______”.
A.to become or to make something greater in amount, number, value
B.to remove or get rid of something
C.to deliberately not include something in what you are doing or considering
D.to make something known to somebody
小题3:What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Secret for marketing success – boosting confidence.
B.Secret for group-buying mechanism—herding effect.
C.Comparison between a simultaneous mechanism and a sequential mechanism.
D.What others do influences our decisions.

How often do you change your hairstyle or ask for new dresses? You may try to follow trends in Western countries,but your peers(同龄人)in the United States don't care as much about fashion(时尚)as you do.

It’s often true that jobs for students sometimes lead to employment after graduation, so it’s a good idea to think carefully before you begin working during your college years.
During my entire college life I worked as a bartender (酒吧招待). I have to say that I really enjoyed that job, and was fond of the idea of making money without doing too much work. I also had the opportunity to socialize ( 交际) while working. I came to be known among the upper class, and gradually became popular on campus because of my job. However, working as a bartender can have the negative side that people tend to think that you enjoy drinking.
All in all, I wish I had thought more carefully before deciding to take that job. I got a Bachelor’s degree (学士学位)in English, qualifying(使···有资格) me to work as a writer, but so far I have only been able to use the skills I learned from that part-time job.
It would be different if I had searched for jobs related to writing or editing(编辑) instead of bartending. It’s commonly accepted that employment for students is only temporary (临时的),but we should never forget that it can connect to the work we get after we graduate. After all, employers not only look at the degree, but also your previous experience.
So before getting a part-time job while you’re at school, consider what you want to do for the rest of your life.
小题1:Which of the following is a benefit(好处)of working as a bartender for the author?
A.He had a good time after school.
B.He made connect with many people.
C.He satisfied his curiosity about others.
D.He had learned how to make wine.
小题2:The underline word “negative” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ _______”.  
A.badB.sameC.wrong D.bright
小题3:The author writes the text mainly to _______.  
A.describe his part-time job during his college life
B.tell students to be careful with their part-time jobs
C.convince(使确信)students that bartender is the part-time job
D.advise students to look for their future jobs in the college

Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day. If your dad worships(崇拜) the Pittsburgh Stealers, you are likely to grow up being a big fun of that football team. And if your mom loves to read you just might grow up carrying everywhere you go, just like she does.
Here are four ways you can stay close and build a strong relationship with your parents.
1. Spent time together. How much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, maybe you can ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out.
2. Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad may not know that you are having a problem. Tell a parent if you are sad or struggling with something.
3. Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you”. It’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.
4. Whatever you do, do your best! You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you are turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us___________.   
A.the Pittsburgh Stealers is a famous football team
B.the kid will like reading if his or her mother likes
