"I felt like I was blinded by headlights"

6．Last month，James Connolly，a junior at the University of Massachusetts，stood in front of a local police station wearing a loose garment as punishment．His crime？He was charged with underage drinking，illegal possession of alcohol and very big noise while holding a party．
    This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years，mostly decided by local judges for less-serious crimes such as drunk driving and theft．They believe shame is the best small crime punishment．For example，in Tennessee，Judge James McKenzie has made a shoplifter stand outside Wal-Mart with signs that read，"I'm a thief put here by order of Judge McKenzie．"
    Some experts think alternative punishments like community service and fines don't convey moral condemnation （谴责） of the criminal because they aren't shameful enough．Shaming punishments are sometimes called Scarlet Letter punishments．The name comes from US author Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel，The Scarlet Letter．In this novel，a woman is forced to wear a scarlet （ red）"A"on her clothes as punishment for her adultery．
   Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community values．Some judges say shamed offenders seldom repeat their crimes．Others aren't so sure．"There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishment are successful in preventing people from committing special crimes．And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to regain reputation in society．So a shaming punishment may force the offender into more crime to support himself．"

13．Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．"Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers，"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．"Shoes serve a practical purpose，and also serve as nonverbal cues（线索）with symbolic messages．People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear．"
    Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits（特质）detected in the study include a person's general age，income，political tendency，and other personality traits，including someone's emotional stability．Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes．In the study，63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants．Participants in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
    So，what do your shoes say about your personality？Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier footwear was typically worn by outgoing people．However，some of the more specific results are interesting．For example，"practical and functional"shoes were generally worn by more"friendly"people，while ankle boots were more closely connected with"aggressive"personalities．The strangest of all may be that those who wore"uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities．
    And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them，you may suffer from"attachment anxiety，"spending too much time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．There was even a political calculation in the mix with wearing"shabbier and less expensive"shoes．
    The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits，but researchers pointed out that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities．
41．By looking at a person's shoes，it's possible for people toB
A．know the wearer thoroughly                                   
B．estimate the wearer's character
C．have exact cues about the wearer's social status
D．judge the wearer's educational background

A．In the study，people's personality traits were detected．
B．In the study，participants wore 208 different shoes．
C．In the study，63 students were asked to fill out questionnaire about personality．
D．In the study，judgments were made according to various characteristics of people's shoes．
43．What can we know about the passage？B
A．Wealthy people favor shiny shoes．
B．Calm people prefer shoes with uncomfortable appearance．
C．Friendly people are likely to wear ankle boots．
D．Outgoing people always wear shoes with practical functions．
44．Taking exceptional care of new shoes shows thatA
A．the owners care much about others'opinions on their appearance 
B．the owners are in a relaxed state
C．the owners are particular about their appearance     
D．the owners have too many shoes to choose from

B．How To Judge People's Personality Traits
C．People Are What They Wear                                    
D．Shoes Reflect People's Personalities．
